Home Sweet Home

In the animal kingdom spring time means mating season. Time to perpetuate the species and populate the world! I have friends who are trying to have babies, who are having/had babies...babies babies babies! I am not one of these people. I won't bore anyone with the details again (see earlier blog post) but I am not ready to have kids. Andy and I have decided to not even seriously entertain the idea until I turn 30 and finish my masters. With that said, there is something that I want more then anything I have ever wanted in my entire life. Thinking about this one thing will keep me up at night and the fact that I am not any closer to having said thing then I was a few years ago makes me sad and frustrated.

I want to own a house! I want to paint walls and have a garden. I want to have a yard. I want a dog to go in that yard. I am so jealous of people my age who own homes. So jealous. It makes my heart ache when I think about the cute little house that Andy and I could own. I dream about where this house is going to be. What color will the outside be painted? What flowers am I going to plant in the gardens? What will our neighbors be like? On weekends, I make Andy drive me around different neighborhoods so that I can imagine what it would be like to live there. I am obsessed.

Move to Columbia City or West Seattle, then I can visit you! Also those places I can think of buying a house myself and I'd make a great neighbor. :)
