Welcome

I'm starting this blog to chronicle my husband's and my search for, and hopefully eventual purchase of, a home in the East Bay (across the bay; east of San Francisco). Since it's doubtful we'll find a house in perfect shape in our price range in a neighborhood that we like, I'll also have home improvement projects to talk about--again, eventually, in the hopefully not-too-distant future.
We have a Realtor (look--it's capitalized! because it's trademarked!) but are otherwise near the beginning of the process. We're still browsing listings and going to open houses, so I'm kicking off this blog for the duration. We did have one disappointment last week, but that deserves its own post or two.
Until then, welcome!
