Swoon With Me

Since we've now outgrown our house bedroom-wise I've been thinking a lot about our next house, which will hopefully be our forever house. At the end of this month the Parade of Homes starts, which is where builders from all over the area host open houses for two weeks. I had never heard of it until Chris took me the year we met. I kid you not guys, the VERY FIRST house we went to look around in, I fell in luurrrvveee.

How do I love thee, house? Let me count the ways.

I love the floorplan. I love the mudroom off the kitchen, the laundry room off the master closet, the kitchen cabinets (Oh, the cabinets!) I love the fact that it's an open floorplan and I can cook dinner with kiddos at the kitchen island doing homework while littler ones play on the floor. Now I'm getting ahead of myself but ohmygodilovethishousesomuch.

And now for the wake up call. The rude awakening.

If we both keep the jobs we have now and save every possible penny for the next 3 years, we couldn't afford this house.

Naturally, I did what any logical person would do and I threw myself onto the nearest object like a  sobbing Disney princess.

 

 

...you get the point.


Those girls have some pretty solid coping mechanisms sometimes.
