The Joys of Searching for a New House

As most of you probably know by now, Rebecca and I are looking for a new home. In past weeks we have viewed houses of every shape and size in a effort to find "the perfect home." Let me tell you, we have seen some really strange things during this process, but something we saw tonight literally compelled me to blog about it.

When you're searching for a new house, one of the terms you'll learn is "convey." When something "conveys," that means that it is included with the purchase of the house. In other words, if the home listing says that the refrigerator conveys, then you'll get to keep it when you buy the house. Tonight, we saw a few things that we really hope convey with this house. Number one is this:


My jaw hit the floor when we pulled up and saw this masterpiece of the American automotive industry. We instantly thought we had found the perfect house...until we saw on the sheet that (sadly) the car did NOT convey.

We got excited again when we went into the backyard and saw this:


Wow...who wouldn't want a funnel cake trailer with a brand new house??? Come on people, you know you're all salivating for a warm, fluffy funnel cake with some chocolate syrup and powdered sugar! MMMMM....

Alas...this also did not convey. So, the search for the perfect house continues. Who knows what we'll find at the next house? A space shuttle? Bigfoot? Your guess is a good as mine...
