Kirstin and I are auditioning for a new TLC show called My First Home. Throughout our entire home-buying process in the past 7 months, we've been EXTREMELY lucky, especially in the economic and housing downturn as of late. We had very minimal issues when buying a house, and we were blessed enough to come out on top. So we felt we had a great story to tell to the world.

TLC called our real estate agents, the amazingly talented Real Estate Twins, and told them they were looking for a unique, creative couple that had recently bought a house from them. They had previous involvement in a show created by HGTV which aired several years ago, and knew that they had experience in doing one of these "reality" home-buying programs. They suggested us, and I got a call from one of TLC's casting directors, telling me all about what they were looking for in a couple.

With this new show, they wanted to steer away from the usual boring, cookie-cutter, suburban middle class family, and feature a couple that was a little more "colorful" that their usual participants. Well, we can do colorful. Below, is our entry video. They wanted us to talk about what we were looking for in a house and the all-around home buying experience, so we had to reenact a little. It's about 7:42 long, so give it some time to load. We also included some goofy outtakes at the end, but be forewarned, I am a total dork.

Along with our video, TLC wanted a clip of our real estate agents talking about what it was we were looking for in a house. The show is a reenactment type of deal, so we had to approach these videos as if we had just decided that we were going to buy a house. This video is set up as if we had just talked to them and we're approaching the task of searching for a house.

Also, if it was too quick for you to catch, at the very end when we're talking about Tyler Durden and his Fight Club antics, when I snap my fingers, I spliced in this little brainwasher for 7/100ths of a second.

We've sent off the videos to the TLC casting agents, and we're just waiting to hear back from them. Keep your fingers crossed for us! If they choose us for the show, we'll be filming around January. Stay toasty!
