penciled in
we’re moving. again. it’s been almost ten months, so i guess that it’s time. with the situation here not being particularly good (whopping 17% rent increase, construction about to begin about 15′ from our bedroom, etc) and our friends vacating this pretty awesome 1920s sears cottage over near the university, it seemed like the right decision.
in the move, we’re losing a bunch of square footage of living space, but we’re gaining a full basement (i’m psyched to renew my love affair with a 10″ sliding compound miter saw), our own washer and dryer, a backyard, and no shared walls. oh, and it’s $350/month cheaper than our rent would be here, so we can continue to earn like tech workers but spend like grad students. if frugality was a crime, we’d be doing life. a life that looks a lot like our current lives, now that i think about it.
whenever my seemingly yearly move plans are mentioned to my parents, my mother sweetly (and i don’t think sarcastically) replies, “that’s why you’re in my address book in pencil!” so yeah. saturday. new neighborhood: ravenna.

Hope the move went well! I love some of those Sears designs. I have a hard time imagining that the modular homes from the 00’s will look nearly as fantastic in 80 years, but maybe I’m wrong.
