Houston House Trip


Elena and I flew to Houston last weekend to look for houses. It was very exciting. We had a bunch of houses on our list, and we were flying through them on Saturday. Well, at the end of the day we found a couple of nice houses, but we didn't really care for the neighborhoods (my favorite house had a large complex of condemned apartment buildings behind it, other houses we looked at that were really close to work, half the houses in the neighborhood were condemned, mostly for being half-fallen down). [That was quite a long sentence!]

We drove down and attended two of the wards in the areas that we were looking and felt that helped us to narrow our area down. Monday we spent frantically searching for houses in the area, and found a nice new development, but many of the salespeople for the building companies weren't there.

Well, I had to fly back (3 days off in a row is a minor miracle during my intern year) that night, but Elena had a couple of days there, so she went back and picked out our house.

We put an offer in, and they accepted it on Friday.
(picture to follow).

We had a great time in Houston with Evan, Angie, Eli, Brigham, Marissa, and Derek. We are really looking forward to moving there. I'm excited to be done with my internship and get on to radiology.
