The Viewing

We were scheduled to meet with the realtor at 11 on the 21^st of June. My dad is a morning person…. Like wakes up at the but crack of dawn (5 am) kind of morning person. I am not. Mind you we are now in eastern time zone not the central that I am used to. Anyways sleepy me gets up and we go to breakfast at Waffle House. This was such an amazing start to our day. The staff was exceptional! Crystal our server was a hoot. My dad is a veteran and asked if they had a discount for his service and they did. The person in the booth behind us even paid for our breakfast. We felt very welcome in the state of Kentucky. Way to go Kentucky on your hospitality! After breakfast we drive from Lexington to Hillsboro an hour away, it is now only 8am.

Of course, we are too excited to not drive by the house……yes like creepers…rolled down the window and drove like 2 mph past the house. We literally drove by the house like 10 times prior to our 11 am appointment time. Don’t act like you wouldn’t do the same thing.

We still had a couple hours to kill so we drove around and explored the area. We were not the only ones excited, Chad (my husband), Carla (my sister-in-law) and Jill (my mom) were all chomping at the bit remotely. We found a couple covered bridges…. I will touch more on that another day…… a bunch of small towns all around. Everyone was so nice. There was an adorable older gentleman on his lawn mower working on his yard, and every single time I drove by him he waved. Several of the roads circle around and I drove down the road several times. I am already in love with the area. I love the vibe in the area and how sweet everyone is.

It is now 10:45 finally time to go to our appointment…… of course I was only like 3 minutes away. I got there pulled up next to the barn to wait for the realtor to get there. Luckily, she showed up about 2 minutes after us. Went in the barn first and looked around, then we went to the house. As soon as we got in the house Chad called via facetime so he could see the house too. I could not imagine the feeling of not being able to see it in person. I am so thankful that he trusts my opinion and my dad’s knowledge on quality of the structure. I could have spent days looking over everything but I didn’t want to get my hopes up quite yet, as the housing market is crazy right now. We went back down to the barn and talked with the agent in private. We made an offer on the house, the realtor would drive back to her office and start on the paperwork. This was now the scariest time waiting to hear from the realtor.
