Today was actually our second day of house hunting with realtor Tim. Yesterday he took us around to 7 house but only 2 ended up on “to be considered” list. There is a lot of tract housing in Anchorage and with all of the mountains surrounding us, we are hoping to find a house with some type of view of something other than the next door neighbors.
We looked at 7 more houses today but didn’t begin until 10 because the sun didn’t come up until 9:13am. If I lived here I would see more sunrises than I ever had before! I’m getting to know Anchorage a little better but it is a sprawling city that covers over 1900 miles and has a population of nearly 300,000 people. This city certainly earns the award for the nicest people per square mile in my opinion. Almost everyone we have met so far were very friendly and welcoming. I kind of felt related to the restaurant owners by the time we left the restaurant where we ate lunch! It was a beautiful sunny day so maybe that is what put everyone in a good mood.
We did find a house that Lori liked above the rest and is hoping to move forward on. Now it is a waiting game until all the paperwork goes through, the t’s crossed and the i’s dotted. Hopefully tomorrow we will learn that things are progressing smoothly. In anticipation of good news we decided to hold a pre- celebration at the 49th State Brewery in downtown Anchorage tonight. The beer was good and the elk sausage pizza delicious!
