Our home is a work in progress. My ideas are always bigger than my budget and my expectations are always slightly loftier than my abilities and free-time can deliver on. But the ideas and the expectations and the home itself are all mine. And it just doesn't get any better than that.
For two years I've had the privilege of learning my home's personality and quirks... which floorboards creak the loudest, where the best sunlight streams in at each hour of the day, which radiator makes the most startling bang in the wee hours of a winter morning. This little piece of real estate fills me with pride and happiness, even when there's a little water in the basement or a family of ants infiltrating the dining room.
Many memories, from both ends of the sad to joyful spectrum, have already been made here. I know there will be so many more to come.
While we've never planned for this to be our "forever" home, we couldn't ask for a better home for "right now."
Happy Home Birthday!!
