We're looking at houses, in theory not because of the horrible road, but because when winter hit we discovered how expensive propane is and the joys of nearly running out of propane during a storm. But yesterday when we looked at a place that I had my heart set on and it turned out to be a bit small, I was devastated. The heat is a real issue for us, but it became clear to me that getting away from this road is a bigger deal than I wanted to think it was.

On the one hand I want our decisions to be logical. But maybe it's ok to have some emotional decisions too.

We're looking at another place this week, and we haven't yet ruled out the one that is a bit small.
