i have been horrible at blogging lately. i mentioned on my other blog that i didn't want to have to blog the heartbreak of not getting our house in case it fell through.
well, that also left out documenting the process if it didn't - and it didn't, or did, anyway - it's real. we bought an 85 year old craftsman bungalow that we adore and can't wait to move into.
it's been a glorious process, everything we needed was at hand - it's a beautiful story of redemption and i really want to take the time to document it. i've been journaling the process, but i need to flesh it out.
we've been given $ for a reno of the kitchen too, so we won't be moving in right away. we've got all of july to fix it up, paint, prettify and move. i couldn't be more excited.
it's been 14 years since we have had a home to call our own.
i have blogged more details on my other blog - leave comment if you don't know where that is and i'll contact you with the url.
thanks for celebrating with us. couldn't have done it without you.

capturing the memory
i'm at that point in parenting where i'm not "allowed" to talk about my kids anymore. i hate it. so i'm blogging this here so that i remember it.
we took a drive yesterday after a picnic just because we all so wanted to be out and not heading home yet.
we drove through a part of town we don't frequent often and there was a couple playing tennis.
buck says "OH, i didn't know they had tennis courts here"
mom - "i didn't know you liked tennis buck, did you want to learn how to play"
buck "oh yeah mom, it's like ping pong, only you get to stand on the table!"
:D

frozen by thinking
okay - have identified a major character defect in my life - too much thinking. not enough doing. damn. s.o. s.i.c.k. o.f. i.t.
we have looked at MORE HOUSE than anyone in the history of this little burg - and because i don't have a deadline i can't act. i keep saying 'maybe something else will shake loose' or 'this one just isn't it' or 'i don't have peace' - but mostly it's just that i think too much and do too little.
HATE IT!
we're walking to see a privately listed house tonight - i'm too ashamed to call my realtor to re-see the two that i'm THINKING about now... i've wasted so much of his time. he's a great guy, and so helpful - but i'm pushing the edges of his patience, i can tell...
i told him i was going to come down to his office to do some filing or something... i know it's his job - oh well. i have made a ton of progress on my step 4 by NOT THINKING about it and just doing it - so small victories i guess.
just tired of being frozen.
