We bought ourselves a little something....

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas for a good long time.

And maybe you noticed that there is not actually a house there, yes? Let's call this plan G. Plans A through F fell through in spectacular fashion...one after another, giant doors that seemed so right, slamming shut at the very last minute. Plan G was a very nice surprise that has been crazy smooth (just the way I like it). In fact when we drove by and saw the sold sign before we had actually paid our money, I was pretty sure that they had gone and sold it to someone else. But, nope, it's ours. And the house will hopefully not be too far behind, although the next step will be trying to get all the neighborhood dogs to stop pooping here. We like to keep our expectations small, ya know?
