Grown Ups....

At least we are feeling it VERY much right now. 

I guess i wasn't expecting what being a "grown up" was about..

between finding the "Mr. Right", getting into a good college

learning how to live, and create my own standards

and reaching for those accomplishments.

That's where we are today, right here..

looking for the next BIG accomplishment..

I guess the big ones of finding true love

finding a job

attempting to support ourselves

battling medical issues and failures

getting married

are all past us or currently with us..

dang medical issues..

but anyways..

Here we are, seriously considering a HOUSE.

Yes people, not the game you play with a basketball

with an attempt to not suck to bad as a sport

but an actual, 

walls-sinks-roof-basement

type of House. 

We have thought long and hopefully hard enough, 

we have brought out family in to take a look

we have thought about looking more

and not liking what we are seeing,

trying to comprehend what expenses we might have 

IN CASE 

something happens... but here it is

we are writing the list of items we need to include on our 

FIRST OFFER for a HOUSE. 

If only they gave you manuals to buy your first 

BIG Girl House.. you know

those pink and purple Barbie houses..

yes, if in fact i had that earlier i might have prepared myself for 

something, like..

an offer. 

But alas, here we are. 

We never imagined how drained we'd be, working hard and long, trying to pin point

this whole house thing, and feeling 

100% happy with our

decision.

Please Pray, Think, Cross your Fingers,

Hope and Wish that this is

the start of a wonderful adventure in our life

and that we are picked to love this home and to make it our own

with sweat, love, tears, maybe some screams and of course

a little swearing(lets hope not, but seriously... i'm being realistic)

that this can be THE HOME for us

at this stage in our life. 

Until tomorrow....
