N and I are looking at houses. It's been a fun but challenging process. I'm more of an online shopper. I don't really like running around looking for things. I like to find my online coupon codes, wait for the sales, and get a deal. N is the type of guy who likes to go to the stores, try things on for size, feel them, and in general waste a lot of time (in my opinion). I'm not a fan of his approach.
While we look at houses we really have to drive around a lot and check out the houses in person. It's hard to get a feel for a neighborhood or a community unless you drive around it and see it. Feel it.
This is a perfect example of learning something from N. I've had to consider the possibility that there is an alternative way to approach the task at hand. In fact, there may be a better way altogether.
