1) Our house in Huntington is now on the market. The virtual tour has had a lot of hits. Hopefully we'll have lots of people looking at the house in person. We would like someone to find the house and enjoy living in it as we have.
2) We have looked at houses in Fort Wayne on the Internet and for one day in person. We have a list of houses lined up for another trip to Fort Wayne. We're watching for a good bargain but there are some related thoughts we are bearing in mind.
a) It would be great to own the place we move to outright before I would start seminary classes.
b) The seminary plan has two years of classroom work, a relocation for a vicarage year, then another year of classroom work. It would be good to be able to rent the house to a seminarian during the vicarage year.
c) Retirement happens to everyone eventually. If we find a house and community we like a lot, I may consider continuing to own the house while working as a pastor then returning there for retirement one of these years.
Generally we have been pleased with what we see. In nearly every location there are some houses around which show evidence of care. Of course, some are less cared-for. But the community seems to be quite pleasant.
