Questions, questions, questions!Down 10.7 of 60

Just when I thought stuff would slow down again, everything seems to be speeding–in a good way. We have to figure out where we want to live. To give ourselves time to do the figuring and to accomplish some much need work at my day job, Lorena and I got a six month lease on an apartment closer to work. The really good news is that I will have the walks (one mile to/from work and one mile to/from restaurants from work for a total of four miles per day).

The problem is we are not sure where we want to buy a house, but we are sure we want to buy a house. We know we need to be close to a major airport. We also know we love the west and we love Mexico. Oregon and California are probably too liberal for comfort and have a lousy tax situation for the likes of us. Washington is borderline, but maybe OK. That is about all we know. So we have decided to look in as many places as possible. Even heading back to the deep South is not out of question, but probably a little bit of a stretch. The older I get though, the more confidence I have that something appropriate will open up–not necessarily even what we would pick for ourselves. So we are working on figuring it out and waiting until something becomes a little more apparent.
