The Budget of Paradox

Sophia,

The first house your mother and I owned together was located at 2599 Waho Street in Koloa on the island of Kauai. Technically, it was in Koloa, but it was much closer to Poipu Beach. You could drive to the beach in just three or four minutes. We actually found out we were approved for the mortgage at our wedding ceremony (our mortgage broker was one of the guests).

We were living there when Morey was born. She had her own bedroom, even as an infant. I have a lot of good memories in that house. I have lots of photos and I would be happy to show you some day.

I just noticed that it sold last summer for 1.36 million dollars. Today, it’s worth about $100,000 more.

There are photos of it on Zillow. Here is the link. I think the owners did a great job of decorating the interior. I can immediately see the changes, but some things are still the same. When we were packing to move out of that house, I shot this video in the living room when your sister was first learning to walk.

Lots of memories of Kauai and your mom and your sister. I’d love to tell you all about it some day.

Dad
