oh, god

so it looks like we might start thinking about buying a house, like, now. b's in charge of talking to people and i'm in charge of "legwork." we're basically just going to put our toes in the water and see what we see. but apparently the markets all squishy and looking for buyers right now and people say it will recover by spring, which is when we were planning on buying before (well, maybe summer). i'm not crazy-enthusiastic, but i think i'll get there eventually.
