We closed on September 30th. My first HOUSE. My new home.
It wasn't easy. I learned a helluva lot. I took a lot of chances. I had moments of triumph and equal moments of fear.
Tomorrow we start moving in. NOW it is real. Now it is permanent. I am excited and hopeful. I have cold feet too.
Forever. That's not like me at all. I'm not great with forevers..... I'm not real trusting.
This one will last.
I dream of the garden I will plant. I dream of holiday decorations. I hope for the laughter of my family to fill the halls.
I hope this forever is grand.
I have to note, for rememberance sake, that we met and spent good time with the previous owners. They have lived there since the house was built. They are sweet, kind people who took amazing care of this house. I sincerely hope to maintain that legacy.
The Hammills told us of the life the house has lived. 34 years and counting. They said they sat on the back porch and looked out over fields and cows. There are no fields now. No cows for miles. House upon house and traffic around the houses...but I know the house had happiness. It was exciting for them when they purchased it - nearly the same ages as we are now. It is exciting for us too.
Hello House. Be good to us. Be home to us.

Ooooo....that is sooo exciting :D
And it looks great too :) Don't forget the kitties when you move...and be careful :)
I'll bring over a bottle of champagne as soon as you're settled in ;)
Great to hear from you, Agnes. Hope you're doing good :hugs:
Hurray! I'm so happy that you made it through the deal. Nothing like turning the page onto another chapter in your big book of adventures with a new house. I'm sure you will bring it many more years of happy times within its walls. These are hard times to be buying a new house; congratulations to you. xo
That is so exciting! I"m thinking of looking into getting a house next year sometime...I'm a nervous wreck already just thinking about it.
Happy Thanksgiving Aggie. All the best to you and yours. :-)
Hey - have you unpacked all of your boxes yet? Of course you have. Have fun decorating the new house for the holidays :) xoxo
Merry Christmas, missy...and I hope your holiday in the new house will be a good one :hugs:
Merry Christmas Aggie, x
Merry Christmas Aggie. Wishing you and yours all the best. :-)
