Well I was pretty sad after the terrible showings last night and I told Scott I wish something would just jump out at me and say "I'm the one!"
Today on my lunch break I fell in love with a condo. It was a three bedroom but the owners took out the third bedroom to make a large living room and a large pantry for kitchen supplies. The two remaining bedrooms are very good sized, the laundry room is HUGE especially because it comes with a stacked washer and dryer, which leaves room for a freezer and plenty of room for a pee-pad tray and a nice spot for potty training a new puppy  All together, there is 925 sq ft of living space. It is a corner unit with an extra window on the side. The deck faces green space with a couple of trees right outside. It gets morning sun and afternoon shade. They said they haven't had to use their air conditioner once in the 13 years they've lived there. There is an electric fireplace and tons of room for furniture around it. The kitchen cupboards and appliances are a little older but still working so it's not something I'd need to change immediately. The bathroom is a little smaller but has a really deep soaker tub! The woman freshly painted the walls, updated the kitchen linoleum, and painted the ceiling last year. She also put up brand new baseboards last year. We asked about noise, and they said they don't even know anyone else is around. The neighbors are quiet and there's not much traffic outside so it's very peaceful. They are an older couple who want to retire to the lake. They were so friendly! I am going to talk to my parents tonight but I am really ready to put in an offer on this place. It just feels like home.

It sounds good. I think that talking to your parents is the right move. They'll be able to help you with this decision that you're making. Good luck!!!!

THEY ACCEPTED MY FIRST OFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 My realtor and I wrote up the contract yesterday, they are signing it this morning, and I am taking it to the bank just before lunch. So now I'm just hoping everything goes well with the bank, I can get the mortgage for sure, and they can finance my down payment. If all that goes well, I get possession on August 1st!
