House HUnting and Other Adventures...

Peter and I looked at a couple of houses today. Though he is more excited about buying a house than I am, it was nice to spend some time together. The houses we looked at today aren't going to work for us, but they were both nice. Hopefully we'll be able to find something we like sooner than later, because Peter is going nuts here. Whenever we tell anyone we rent from PPM, they all respond with "Oh, I'm sorry!" and a rather amusing facial expression.
On another note, Peter was a great husband last night and went to the store at 1am to get me sparkling grape juice (because he drank the sparkling pear juice I really like). It made me happy and I have quite enjoyed it. :)
