I'm always starting new… but i think this time it's for real

Sunday, July 21, 2013
In about a week my snuggle butt, Joe, I will be a first time home owners.

It's been exhausting and we've been anxious, excited, stressed, hopeful, and everything in between. After close to 6 years together, considering career plans,  looking at pros and cons of everything, thinking of what we are looking for in an apartment/house, rates/money and all that legal stuff, we just felt it was the right (hopefully smart) decision for us.

We have always been home people. It's very fulfilling to have a space to be proud of and call our own. Without having to worry about messing up someone else's property, security deposits, and having full freedom to do as we please. And the long journey we have ahead of us to spend fixing things up and transforming this new place into a home is something we are both looking forward to. Well, at least the fun stuff.

The next year (or two?) I want to really go crazy with finishing (and I'm sure starting) the things I've been putting off for way too long. I started thinking about a scrapbook for the whole process (since I'm nuts about documenting my life) but I want these moments to last forever! Paper and Scraps fade. But thanks to the good old world wide web, here is my outlet. Are we ready? We shall see.

Cheers! And here's to hoping this week flies by.
