Monkeying around...

The nervousness, The waiting game.

We looked at a bunch houses today and finally found the ONE! We met with our realtor tonight and signed the contract with her and made our offer. Now we simply wait and see. I am trying not to get too worked up over the waiting, but man this house just feels. so. right.

When we pulled into the driveway and I looked at the house, the yard, the pastures, the loafing shed, and the barn/shed, I just felt such a overwhelming sense of "This is the one!". I hadn't even seen the inside yet!

And then I looked at my daughter. Her face beaming. She simply glowed with joy and excitement. This is her dream come true. She ran from the barn to the pasture looking at everything. Taking it all in. Overlooking nothing. I am not sure she cared one bit about the house at that point. But that's okay. It's not about the house for her.

When we were finally able to see the inside, I felt just as intensely that it was RIGHT as I did from the outside. It was as if one emotion echoed the other.

The house was wonderful. It has everything that we need and then some. The bedrooms are all good sized. The kitchen is the biggest I have ever had. The shower in the master has a chair/seat that is so important to me since I am broken down!

We will be able to get Braji her horses and let her get started living her dream right away. It will be so nice to not have to prepare for it, because all the work is done already. The house needs very little in repairs/work. Less work=more family fun time. Woohoo! That is a bonuse in and of itself!

There is space for a garden. There is room for our camper so we won't have to store it somewhere. There is room to roam. There are beautiful mountains to see from the bay window in the front of the house. There is a nice patio on the back to sit and watch the kids ride. The shed is new and perfect for Jud to put all his manly stuff! And who knows maybe some new toys! (atv's maybe!)

Can you tell how excited I am? Of course I have put my whole heart into hoping for this house. I always do jump in with all my emotions. I'm just like that. Always have been. I may grow older, but some things will never change. I sure hope we get this house! But in the end if it is meant to be, then it is meant to be! But, I still hope it is meant to be ;-)
