Indigestion (revised)
****Edited below****
Nothing quite so disconcerting as handing over pretty much ALL of your money in one tidy cashiers check, is there? We closed on the house. All went well. I think my stomach is finally settling down. And, well, I guess we’re home owners now. So I suppose one of us had better get around to mowing that unattended lawn . . . and moving. That would be good too. We move a week from Saturday because we wanted to have work done to it before we brought the kids in. Now I wish we could just get it over with.
You know, this was a very different post when I put it up two hours ago, but it felt wrong (and I apologize for any confusion for the few of you that may have seen it in its original form). It was sort of a downer, which is not indicative of how my husband and I feel about the purchase of our new home - it felt dishonest and forced. And most of all, it told details of a story that is not mine to tell, so I’m taking a lot of it out.
What I really want to say is this:
That’s our house. Those trees? Those are our trees. That’s where my family is going to live and play and settle. And we’re so excited about it we can’t stand it. We can’t wait to be there and wake up for the first time in our new home.

Makes you wonder if houses could feel, if they could anticipate the laugher, love and games that will happen there soon. I am happy for your house. I am happy for you!
