Jamila was here and that was great. There’s no need to recap all the random things we did, but the major accomplishment was that we finally got off our collective butts and started looking at homes.
As it turned out, my current landlord is looking to unload a marvelous 3-story house down the street. It’s wonderful (and borders on being a mansion, actually) but needs work. We went and looked at a house in Hyde Park which was neat for other reasons although the neighborhood feels a little more cramped. Finally, we stumbled upon the Armor Hills/Brookside neighborhoods which had a really neat vibe. It just so happened that we wandered into an Art fair while we were there.
Overall, I feel fortunate that we are essentially going to be making choices between amazing houses. The question is really whether we buy for the future or buy just to have a place to live.
