Jeff and I are starting the house search.
We've been looking at listings on line.
There are three main variables: Price, location and the house itself.
Within our price range the closer to the center of things, the smaller the place. Go a little further out and you're not just looking at town homes, but actual share-no-walls houses. With Yard! And Mudrooms! God I love a mudroom. (What does that say about me?) But with the yards and mudrooms and basements, you wonder about bus schedules and how late you can stay after shows.
I feel like the trick now is to try to guess who I will be in five or ten years.
If we pick the smaller city place, will the future me feel cramped and dissatisfied with our digs?
If we pick a roomier place on the outskirts will I feel like an isolated prairie wife and miss the urban hub-bub? (Ooh, that's going to be my band name: Urban Hub-Bub.)
I'll let you know what we decide.
