Thanksgiving

Riding home fromthanksgiving at SAMs mOms house. There is some crazy conspiracy theory talk in this car right now. Sigh. Well, I'm thankful for this family, even if we are all wackos.

Home. Homeowner.

Well, it's been more than a month of ups and downs and upside downs and down down downs, and it all led to this-- We own a house! A house! We own it! It has a roof (that needs fixing, but still!). And walls (that are coming down...)! And rooms! And floors... oh the floors are the best of all. Beautiful. Hardwood. Shiny.

We own a house. There is so much to say surrounding that, how exciting and terrifying and overwhelming that fact is, that I can't put it all here. I'm so tired from all the house-buying and house drama and now, house hammering and house fixing, that I can't put it all down here. But. But I am happy. For the first time in a long time I am not stressed about our living situation, because there is a light at the end of this tunnel.

I'm sure there will need to be more explanation. More venting. More frustration and wonder and terror and excitement. For right now, this is the best I can do. And I think we did good.
