House Hunting

So, NC and I went and looked at houses with a realtor the other day. What an amazing experience. It flooded my brain with questions - is this the yard our kids will play in? Is this the kitchen where we will host Thanksgiving dinners? What color would I re-paint this living room? What's even more exciting is that we're both ready for house living. Of course, we expect to be looking for up to, if not more than, a year, but at least we got the ball rolling. Neither of us has ever owned a place before, so this will be new and exciting.

We pretty much exclusively watch HGTV right now and are educating ourselves on what increases and decreases the value of a home. And then there's the decorating. I'm really lucky that NC and I have similar taste in furniture. We both got rid of college furniture long ago and I even got rid of lots of post-college furniture that I bought new while I was in North Carolina (that got moved to VA by default). Now everything has gone through another set of upgrades. I'm quite pleased with the outcome.

Let's see - what else has happened...we spent this weekend on the slopes snowboarding - I'm happy to report that I haven't forgotten what I learned last season so that made it more than enjoyable. We also saw "Into the Wild" and I have to say that the move was alright, but the book was amazing. So much of the book that I thought would definitely be in the movie was left out. Oh yes, and we took a bhangra/bollywood dance class which was loads of fun. Not too shabby for just an average weekend.
