It's official, Trev and I have started looking for a house back in our hometown. It'll mean an hour-long commute to work each day (and back again), but it'll also mean that we're living within minutes of family and friends, rather than an hour away. And I'll get a lot of "reading" done this way, as I LOVE to listen to audio books in the car.
Now to find our perfect first home! (And for me to go through the process with as little stress as possible...) It's all pretty exciting. I'm a little apprehensive about the commute and the added expense it will bring (and stress, come winter). Trying not to worry about that right now. I'm doing my best to get excited about decorating my first home! (Sure, I helped decorate this one, but it'll be different owning the home that I'm sprucing up.)
I think the stress of work is giving me heart palpitations. I took my pulse the other day on my lunch break and my heart skipped a beat EIGHT TIMES in 60 seconds. Unreal. That has been my life for the past four weeks. Luckily they caught it on the EKG I went for two weeks ago, so I'll see what my doctor thinks at my upcoming appointment. It's driving me nuts. Medication, stress, family history, previous personal medical history... no clue what the true cause is or how to make it stop.
Oh, and if you're going to have a garage sale and put out a sign, make sure you spell it properly, or I'm going to stand at the end of your driveway and take a picture.

When I come back for visits I'll get to see you a whole lot more, since we'll be minutes apart! Yay! Think of all the amazing pictures we can take around Steinbach :)
That's a huge plus!!!!
Kate, I wish you and Trevor all the best in finding your first home. Megan and I wish we could have afforded a house, but they're far too expensive here, so for now we're going to settle into a nice condo in a respectable building. We'll make it our home for a few years then we'll take that next step and get a house.
And yes, the decorating part can get pretty adictive. Even I've been buzzing over new furniture and of course the painting!
Have fun!
Exciting! An hour is no biggie.
Yea!
Am thankful for a nearby, fellow golfing/fishing widow to help pass by long periods of husbandless time.
