Time for Round 3, House Tours!
I was super nervous to find out which houses wanted me back. The max number of houses that we can visit this round is 8. I went up to Rosie and she gave me my schedule.
I went from 9 houses to 3. I received back.
Dexter
DC Cupcakes
Sex and the City
I was upset that so many of the ones I liked dropped me. Out of what I had back, I only truly loved one of them, but I figured maybe my opinion of these houses could change during this round, so I decided to keep an open mind.
First house of the day was
Sex and the City. The girls seemed happy to have me back. They gave me a tour of their house, which was on the smaller side, but it was still very nice. We had ok conversations, like much of the other conversations I've had here. I decided that I wouldn't mind coming back here for Pref, but I still wasn't in love with this house.
Next was
Dexter. Wow is all I have to say about my time here. The girl that rushed me today and I had probably the best conversation so far out of all the other houses. I felt such a connection here, and everything that she told me about her experience with this chapter and everything she's been through with her sisters made me long to make this chapter my home. This chapter doesn't have a house, but they are opening a brand new one this Spring. So instead of a tour, they showed us a video detailing the plan for their new house and all the preparation that has gone into it. I thought how exciting it must be to be this in this chapter, when they were about to have a brand new, house, beautiful house! Overall, I completely fell in love here. I hoped with all of my heart that I would get to return here for Prefs.
Finally I went to
DC Cupcakes. The girls here seemed excited to have me back too. They were all so sweet, so nice, but I still didn't really feel a connection here. Anyway, they took me on a tour of their house. They had recently remodeled it, so it looked great. Despite this, I still wasn't in love here either. I knew it was likely that I'd come back here for pref, so I decided to be as gracious and friendly as possible, despite the fact that this still wasn't my top choice.
After this round, we ranked our top 3 for pref. I ranked them
1.
Dexter
2.

3.

Next up is Pref, then BID DAY! So close to the end!!
