On Friday, December 29, 2017, Jonathan and I walked into a bank (bigger than this small town Iowa girl had ever been in) and signed the papers for a house. Our house. Our very own house.
Now let me make something very clear. This is exciting! I am enjoying this "stage" of life. But it also is scary. Frightening. And sometimes overwhelming. To walk out of the office, through those big front doors, climb in the car and look at the one that you know you will spend the rest of your life with. In addition to the sheer giddy excitement that rushes through your body, I feel our brother Andrew summed it up very well.
"You start to see just what it will take. How every penny you earn will go to living. Freedom flys out the window and adulthood slaps you in the face."
We went to see the house.
I love it! I can't wait to make it home. We quickly made it ours. With a Christmas gift.
It is a nice house. A 3 bed room, 1.5 bath setting on a corner lot in the town of Montpelier, Ohio. Away from any major highways. It was nicely kept up by an older couple and so only needs a few minor changes. Really, it's mostly cosmetic. That's the part I love anyhow.
Stick around to see the changes to our new home!
