Today we started the search for property/land up here in Washington by actually speaking to a real estate agent. This is a big deal for me, because I've never done something like this before, something as monumentally adult as actually going through the process of searching for and buying a house or land. It's a big deal for Mr. G as well, because it's going to mean moving away from California for the first time in his life. Luckily, we seem to have found a guy who understands what is meant by "horse property" (eg. they can't be standing in the mud all winter long). He's going to hunt around and see what he can come up with. Our fingers are crossed...
Today we looked at our first place: log house, arena, round pen, 7 stall barn, 23 acres...$800,000!!!! Ouch. It's really swell, but about twice as much as we can afford. Tomorrow we'll look at something smaller...
