Yesterday, Debbie and I looked at two houses that we both like.  We looked at a 4 bedroom house with a pool in north Edmond that is very nice.  This home is not far from Ted's Escondido (one of our favorite Mexican restaurants) and two nice public golf courses (that's for me and the guys).  I believe Debbie fell in love as soon as we walked in.  I like it but not yet ready to say, "This is the one." 

We have a sizeable list of other homes, so decided to look at a few more later in the day.  Well, that muddied the water a little after we saw the first of the next few homes.

The other home we like is a larger 4 bedroom with a spacious living room, dining rooms and kitchen very close to a mall, other shopping such as Target and Sam's Club, several restaurants that we like, and a hospital.  I like both about the same. 

The first house is move-in ready.  The second is ready but there are some things that we will need to upgrade, such as the red kitchen laminate countertops and the master bath needs a new vanity.  Otherwise, house #2 is great. 

Both neighborhoods are very nice. There is a country club in the neighborhood of house #2 that we can join that has a pool, golf and other family stuff to do. There is a small playground about a half block from house #2.

We discussed both alot yesterday and will look at several more homes this afternoon.  By the time we went to bed, I believe Debbie had decided the pool at the first house was a scary liability because of the grandkids possibly falling into it.  But she really liked the house.   

I figured this process would be easier.

I like them both! Burlingame looks huge and spacious. Could do without the wallpaper. That stuff should be illegal. The kitchen looks great, especially if you redid the countertops.

I like the other one, too, but it looks smaller. Honestly, I do have a fear of pools because of the kids. But I figured it was one of those irrational fears. A lady in our playgroup has an in ground pool with some sort of fence around it because she has her granddaughter a lot. As far as the house goes, it looks super nice.

They are both beautiful, sure wish the temps. were lower, doesn't sound like too fun running around from house to house in 100+ degree weather (but it sure would be fun looking at those pretty homes.) This is the kind of weather to sell homes with swimming pools.
