Signing Our Lives Away

Why, what's this giant packet of documents on my couch you ask?


Oh nothing, just the signing documents to OUR NEW HOUSE!!!!

That's right, we are 80% through the whole home purchase process and by the end of this week, should be getting the keys, eek!

To be honest, I was never the home-owning aspiring type.  In fact, I was never the have-a-kid (or 2) type either.  Okay, as long as I'm coming clean, neither was I the marrying type!

Growing up I never fantasized about weddings and suburbs. I always thought I'd live some kind of Indiana Jones/Boho/Broadway musical/country cowgirl kind of life.  Or live in Africa.

So maybe I was a little all over the place--but one place I NEVER thought about ending up was the suburbs. Married. With 2.5 kids.

So what the heck happened?

Ah, another time, another post...

For now, I have a suburban home to remodel, furnish, and move into!  Pinterest, Home Depot, Ikea, Crate and Barrel, Overstock.com and Benjamin Moore--here I come!

Congratulations! The suburbs aren't so bad, even if you didn't fantasize about them.

OMG! I think you are ME! I knew there was a good reason liked you so much! I always thought I would be at the far-reaches of the world having Indiana Jones-ish adventures. And here I am...married, 2 kids, homeowner, crabby if I'm not in bed by midnight.... :)

and YAY! for your house!!
