Our goal in Spokane was to find Aliina a place to live and to get her familiar with the social scene of the town. And goodness we rocked at doing both.
In Sociology we learn about Rational Choice Theory which endeavors to explain that when making choices we try to compare the costs and benefits of each choice to be able to choose that which would benefit us the most. I spoke with someone lately who further described that the more choices we have, the less happy we end up being because though we chose the one that is the best (according to rational choice) we will dwell and regret about not having chose the other options. Now Aliina is pretty darn bad about making choices anyway, so after we had seen a bunch of places, a few of them being amazing places, we decided that the number of options was getting excessive and she should choo
She ended up in a beautiful studio apartment in an old house in a very 'up and coming' neighborhood. I was rooting for it the whole time but there were some definite other good options. Hopefully the choice was the best one! We also had lots of fun exploring the city through meals and evenings checking out the bar scene.
After 10 days of non-stop Aliina-and-Steph time, I headed back to San Diego to settle into summer and work and being busy all over again :)
