I've heard of people who get married, have a baby and buy a house all in the same year and I think they are crazy. In fact, I remember when my sister did it and I thought she was crazy too. Why would anyone bring on that much stress and change in one year? Well, call me Crazy.
Let's see I got married on 7/12/08, had baby D on 4/10/09 and closed on our first house in August 2009. Ok, so it took 13mo. Looking back on this year, it was stressful and full of life altering changes. On the flip side, all of these changes were positively amazing. I learned what it meant to be a mom and stare at my baby worrying about everything that could happen to him. I learned what it meant to go into escrow and sign away your life. I learned that no matter what you can set as goals and try to plan for your life, the unexpected always happens before the plan ever gets executed.
I digress. The point of this blog post is really that baby D will be moving to a real home with a backyard that he can enjoy. He'll get a blue room (because boys like blue) and a pink bathroom (because it is pink tile and I can't change it yet). I can't wait for D to get to know this house and create memories there. We'll have our first Christmas there and so much more. Look out for the fun photos of the house...for now we just have this simple photo of the front yard.
Crazy.
