ohhhhhhhhmyyyyyyygaaaaahhhhd

Word is, someone else wants the house. (Which my dad is convinced is fancy real-estate industry trickery.) But anyways, we are leaving in 15 minutes to put in our offer. It may already be too late, if the others beat us to it. We just have to remember that when we follow our bliss, life might test our faith...just keep following, roll with it, let go of the outcome....

breathe.

really, breathe!

check you later.

big & little decisions

Big decision: Tonight, we are putting in (hoping to put in. Waiting for all paper work to come through.) an offer on a house we fell in love with. It's perfect for us. When Joseph Campbell said, "follow your bliss," he was talking about us living in this house. Here is a view from the back yard. Holy crap, I know. Idyllic.
And another. It's a creek lot, just covered in trees. The creek is down an almost mini-ravine (don't worry, there's a fence! Preston and Sam won't be forging any rivers). It's great now, but makes you think of so many great possibilities in the future, too, like carving out a stone pathway from the house, down to the creek...a big deck that juts out over the creek (you know, the kind with the giant stilts and maybe even a hot tub??). Seriously, if we get this house, we'll freak. And hopefully we will get it, because we're planning to put in a full price offer, or close to it. It's just a few miles from downtown, a few miles from work, 1 mile to an arts district. 1 mile to the train, 1 mile to the zoo!! Fun!
If we get to move into nature house, I'm sure I'll have more of an opportunity to use my new (relatively) birding book! Not just some birds, people. ALL birds. I'm getting increasingly nerdy as the years go on. Small decision: pink.
