Ok. Much better =P You know that I never, ever expected this. Instinct kind of led me to the decision to see if it would work and instinct led me to this house. And nothing has ever felt more right, as much as an emotional mess this whole process has kind of made me. It's funny -- when you look toward the future, sometimes it's hard to imagine, as much as you want to -- pretty sure you may have felt similarly with the wedding. But the closer that future gets, the harder it is to believe that it can really be possible, that it can really come true. You almost can't believe that that kind of happiness can be yours. But the closer it comes, and the more excited you become, you begin to realize that it is, indeed a reality. It's strange to say, but I think this is one of those rare times when I'm actually proud of myself. Thank you for being so happy for me! Thank you for hanging in there as I become somewhat overloaded with these thoughts, and thank you, always for being my best friend. Movie nights, wii parties, and chats on the porch FTW. :) Sarah: I saw this comment awhile ago and kinda just wanted to squee, so here goes: eeeeeeek!!! Ok.

I never would have imagined this for myself a few months ago, nevermind a few years ago. I guess that just goes to show that you never know what life has in store for you, you never know where the journey will lead, and you never know how your own story will read. Pretty cool to think about, something I need to remember. Thanks so much for the support and friendship, Dani! :) Dani — thanks so much!!

The sooner I get to closing (this time next week!), the more anxious I become. It's a great change -- and I know without a doubt that this is the right decision, the best one I've made yet thus far -- but it's still nerve-wracking. I had no idea just how nerve-wracking it would be, though. I thought, psht. It's just a house. Easy-peasy. Right? Clearly, as you've experienced as well, that's wrong. =P It's exciting, but a lot of work and a lot of stress and I had no idea what I was in for. But that just makes me even more glad that the end of the road is near and there's a new one leading to a lot of happiness. Let's make a deal -- if you ever come for a visit (which I hope you do!), we'll both go for some one-hour massages ;) Thanks, Anna! Anna: This is really, really delayed, but thanks so much!
