Home Sweet Home

In other news. . .

Nick and I have bought a home.

I have so many feelings.

First and foremost excited. Beyond excited, I am thrilled. I can't wait to set up a permanent camp with the one i love most. We have been talking about getting a house together since we've gotten engaged.

Everything has fallen into place. We had some set backs and heartbreaking issues happen on other houses we had liked, but i realized all those "errors" got me to here. It is so hard to realize there can be good in the bad at the time though, isn't it?

I daydream of our future in the home. Cooking meals, birthday parties on the deck, summer bon fires on our patio. Someday a baby trying to crawl up the steps, and realizing we need to get a gate.

I fear for the responsibilites. Furnace filters need to be changed frequently?-- who knew? Change the furnace damper settings with the season?- whats that. What type of salt to use in the water softner? Which type of lawn mower do we need? What if the dishwasher breaks? How many carbon monixide detectors do we need?

I can't wait to experience all of these issues, overcoming problems, and rejoicing in the small successes of day to day life.

You know what they say . . .
