By category: Cool, Life..., San Francisco.
Two months ago I bought a flat in San Francisco with Aimee. Very exciting - my/our first home. We closed back in February but didn’t move in until yesterday because it came with a tenant. Anyways, he moved out on Saturday night and Aimee and I moved in Sunday at 9am.
Last night was our first night in the new place. I love it.
We’ve done a pretty good job unpacking already, but that barely matters because I love the place. The building is a bit over 100 years old - very solid and stable and classic. Three-story SF flat. Between Guerrero and Dolores on 23rd Street.
I’ll fill you in on more details later, but for now that’s the news and part of my excuse for not writing here with any consistency as of late.

Nice, congrats! I went the other direction, both in age and location of dwelling. New townhouse in Santa Clara. I remember when we bought our first place, when I was still living up in Sacramento. It’s such an awesome feeling to finally have your own place, even though the monthly mortgage makes you wish you were still paying what you paid for rent. ;)

Nicely done Nate, always cool to get your own pad, and of course as you say when you move with the missus things are shared equally. I’ve moved with my missus several times and we’ve always split things equally too - generally 98%/2% in her favour. Mind you my 2% includes the TV and remote.
Congrats man, it’s a great feeling to look around and have your own piece of the world. Over here we’ve got an expression “An englishman’s house is his castle” - very fitting.

Congratulations on the new digs, Nate. Buying your first home is exciting. My wish for you and Aimee is that you have less work to do to make the place your own than Adam and I have. ;-)
