Hello Adulthood

as if real furniture and lack of show posters isn’t enough … we went and bought a house!

everyone keeps asking us if we’re excited and i respond with a blank stare. honestly, i’m not sure how i feel. a bit nauseous maybe. but other than that, no defining feelings at this point. of course we really like the house but at the same time we have not yet been able to grasp the concept that it will be ours forever in approximately 30 days. i think we are still mental renters. it was surreal writing the largest check my little checkbook has ever seen and handing it over as if it was for a pound of coffee instead of a house.

we think it was a team effort. conversation with my mom on friday. it is important to note that my mom lives in Michigan and we of course, live in Washington.

moi: hi. so, we like this house we looked at.
elle: should i put Chuck on a plane?
moi: ok.
elle: ok, we’ll see you tomorrow at 11am.

and next day voila! they came and did an inspection on the house along with our friends Terry and Matina. so now here i am pondering everything that comes along with this. i’m sure there will be more to come.
