Today I am going to use one of those excuses. Stress. But a very good stress. I have been unable to focus my attention on sharing the positives because we are n the process of buying our first house!!! I cannot believe it! It is super adorable!
When we were looking, I didn't even want to see this house. It happened to be on the same street as a house I very much wanted to see (killer fireplace) so I told the realtor to show it to us. We were scheduled to see the Little Blue House before the Killer Fireplace House and I have to admit, I was kind of annoyed. I REALLY wanted Killer Fireplace House. Rob gave me a tour of the house because I was late and as we went through each room, I fell more and more in love. I equate it to how one must feel when they try on *the* dress. The Little Blue House was *the* house. I saw us living in the house. I saw him and I and D watching movies in the living room. I saw us being a family in this house.
Rob has dealt with all of the negotiations -- if you know me you know I do not negotiate -- I OK people. He was amazing and has scored us an amazing house at an even more amazing price. This house isn't absolutely perfect, it needs work, but it is perfect for us.
A good friend's father told us both a story (separately mind you) about when he and his wife were looking for their home. He told her it didn't matter about the house, all that mattered is the love that would fill it. And they did. His wife is now deceased and this story brought us both on the verge of tears. The amount of love he had and still has for his wife is tremendous. The fact that he sees that in us, is amazing. So that's what we are going to do. We are going to fill this house with out love and make it ours.
For now, this is all I can share of the Little Blue House. In 18 days, hopefully we can officially call it ours and I can share even more of our journey.
