unhappy hunting....

Well, we just got back from house-hunting in Wisconsin. We did not find a house. :( Actually, we found two, but when we went to make offers, we found out that the sellers had just that week accepted an offer.... The listings, of course, had not been updated yet. It felt like losing a football game in the closing seconds because of a missed field goal. Oh, well. We get to go into overtime. The worst-case scenario is that we'd have to rent initially.... Still, we have a few months to continue looking. our realtor, Gaylord "Happy" Nelson, said that he now understands very well exactly what we are looking for, and he'll keep looking.

It was kind of surreal to be house hunting with Gaylord Nelson Jr. on Earth Day.... (Google "Gaylord Nelson" and you'll understand.)

We did get to learn very well what the best areas of town are. It truly is a beautiful and charming town.

We also had dinner with a future colleague and his wife. We had a great time with them. Though they are a bit older, we really connected with them. At the end of the evening, the wife exclaimed, "I don't want you to get out of the car! I'm not ready for the evening to end! I feel like we've known you two forever!" Good times....
