Scott and I have been looking for a house for a while, idly since a woman’s body was dumped behind our house a couple years ago, and actively since I stopped having to pay my student loans.
yes, granted i lived in nyc for 1/3rd of the time i’ve lived in wv, and granted i lived there during a particularly safe-feeling era (2009-12), but i never felt unsafe there in the way that i do here in beckley! same with my whole life in san diego, same with the year i lived in the ‘bad neighborhood’ in riverside county, CA
BUYING A HOUSE IS INSANE! MORTGAGES SUCK! But I very much enjoy being safe in my home and having my parents next door (we too are doing the family compound thing). I'm really happy for y'all. Congratulations! <3
it's so crazy! like "here is how much you will pay each month, maybe, you won't actually know til later when you can't back out, it's fine, you don't actually need to know how much you will pay each month."
and i feel like family compounds just make sense these days?
Beckley sounds like my home town and a lot of the places I lived in Brooklyn and where I live now :/
But how close will you be to Tudor's Biscuit World?
It’s twice as far… 10 whole minutes instead of 5 😭
You've had more scares — and scarier scares, frankly — in 10 years of living in Beckley, than I've had in 25 years of living in New York City.
I mean it.

Very happy for you and Scott.
