This post is to help me cope with leaving behind our beloved mountainous Provo for flat humid Houston.

I'm Sad :(

p.s. we're not going private just yet, I decided to put a filter on our comments instead :)

House Hunting

To help us keep straight all the homes we saw when we went house hunting we brought along a video camera. Here's the footage we took of the home that we ended up buying. It's about 2400 sqft, 4 bed, 2.5 bath, and at the end of a cul-de-sac.


The funny thing about house hunting is you get to just barge into these people's homes and look through all their stuff. It's funny how much you can find out just by looking through someone's home, like why this guy isn't married and why this house hasn't sold in over a year. (Listen for our realtor's comment about who she likes :)


P.S. After watching all the videos back and listening to my commentating I'm thinking on getting my own show on HGTV! Did you hear how informatively cool I was?

We are going Private...

Hello fellow blog readers! We have decided (after receiving some weird comments) that we are going private. Please e-mail us at panametricfam@gmail.com to let us know if you want an invite.
