i long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever i find myself.

well, i survived the two birthday parties last weekend. and now we’re on the brink of another weekend. how did that happen? another week came and went and i didn’t keep up very well. damn. and now, only 11 days remain for us here in san diego.
but, but, but!
the super exciting news of the moment…
after a few counters back and forth, we are in contract for this house (photo taken by realtor, not me).
yep, we are. if all goes through with our pre-approved loan, we will live in this home by the end of the month. our home. together in kansas. even if it’s only for a year. no wait…11 months. it will be ours, all ours. after that, we will rent it. to others, just like us–but not as daring or risky or crazy enough–to buy, when only living there for umm…less than a year. you see, my husband has this entrepreneurial spirit and that includes real estate investing. one day, he’ll even own a laundromat…so he continues to share with me.
i nod my head, yes honey. but you watch. he will. i guess that means i will too.
so hell yea to 2500 square feet, four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a two-car garage and hopefully a linen closet (forgot to check on that). and we will say good-bye to a 1500 square feet of house that has been good to us and taken care of us for the past 3 1/2 years (we’ve actually been here 4 1/2 years but cat pee, gopher, rat, maggot and fly infestation (left to us by the previous home owners) caused our relocation from our first san diego house, after a year).
we will miss you dear betty street house. you have taken such good care of us and left us with so many wonderful memories. and i thank you for that.
