Offer going...

... on a house in Montgomery Hills, MD.  Not sure what we think about moving back to the DC area and not being in the District proper, but, sadly, our budget can't afford a house with a DC address and a space large enough to host my family's Thanksgiving dinner (~20 people), which is something I *really* want to do when we're back and near family!

(hint, hint, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles ... )

It's taking some time to set up the logistics of an offer (which is hard enough even when you're in the same city as the property), but hopefully in the next few days it will happen - and then we'll see what the seller says.

If this comes through, it will be the first time since I graduated from college that I'll have lived in a single family home.  Kind of weird, actually, to think about it that way.  Especially since I remember being asked by someone in Texas, when I was pregnant with William, when we were going to buy a house because you couldn't possibly raise a child in an apartment or condo.  Honestly, were there a 1,500 sq ft condo we could afford in DC, we'd be all over it.  We're just priced out of Kalorama and its million dollar flats!
