What a great story! As others have said, your writing is superb! I like that you get to go back to each house for the rounds leading up to pref. How many do you get to go back to for pref? Usually your choices get narrower and narrower...in your case, it works out well since your preferences have shifted around.

Then there are friends who sail together, through quiet waters and stormy weather. Helping each other through joy and through strife. And those are the kind who give meaning to life.
