\"Day<\/a><\/p>\n

I haven’t written a lot about the house hunt because I am exhausted. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, existentially, laterally, longitudinally, grammatically. <\/p>\n

But the hunt, it rages on. It has gotten very serious. I have spent many many hours online and on the phone and in stranger’s houses, writing down numbers and percentages and trying to make my brain understand things like closing costs and PMI and taxes and pre-paids. It’s not all about touring houses and falling in love with cute kitchens and spacious master bedrooms. I haven’t really fallen in love with any house I’ve looked at yet, even though everyone keeps saying that when I find The One, I’ll know. I’m not so sure that that’s how it will go down for me. You guys, this is me. I am skeptical of everything<\/i>. I hedge bets. I look at things and say, “You’re functional. You’ll do.” I don’t dream big when I dream on a budget. And I don’t think there’s anything unreasonable about that, either. <\/p>\n

I don’t think I should say a whole lot more about it right now because I’d like to play my cards somewhat close to the chest. I will say, though, that I am grateful for a dad who will haul his ass up onto a roof to tell me what’s what. The man is a hell of an ally to have on my side. <\/p>\n
