So this weekend I started a new book... anyplace i can hang my hat. it was ok. not the best book ever but interesting story about family and belonging. Today i am reading a memoir caled glass castle very interesting and sad so far.
the reason i didn't read too much was that bill and i spend part of this weekend starting a home search... we went and got apporved for a loan, the amount of which explains the question "how can people afford these homes?!?" the answer being "they put less than 5% down." we looked at a condo being built next to the train station, and then we drove down south and looked at some older 2-3 br homes that we could posisbly afford (obviously not what the bank says we could afford... because if we did that we would be paying out the nose forwever). anyway i forsee many weekend similar to that... driving through windy streets with no map and stopping at open houses where the basments smell like the walls were paved with cat litter. hopefully though it will not be in vain. and some time (sooner rather than later) i will be hosting a house/townhome/condo warming party.
