Last night, Lorena, Kelly, Christian, and I all went out looking at houses. We saw seven or eight of them of which there were two that we really liked. The one Lorena liked best was really only a single story house. There was a big bonus room above the garage that has a full bathroom — a very cool feature, but we would probably do most of our living downstairs. Like all of the houses we can afford, this one has only and electric range. Lorena really wants her Thermador with blue knobs and an electric griddle. I cannot blame her. We are going to ask the builder to change out the range for an oven stack and add a ventilator and the Thermador cooktop, add garbage cans in the cabinets, screen a section of the porch, and add a double mud sink in exchange for finishing the deal by the end of the year. We think they will go for it. We will keep you posted.
