(i actually wrote this awhile back - but pulled it down when the contract mentioned below fell apart and i had to look again ... putting it back up now)
well i actually probably imagined a whole lot of things about my life ... but at some point i definitely imagined myself in a real home rather than apartment renting.
now don't get me wrong - renting definitely has its perks! the A/C goes out - they replace it! the fridge acts up - they fix it! bugs - they send an exterminator! lawn - they maintain it! PERKS!
But this year ... with interest rates where they are ... a decent income ... an ever growing amount of stuff ... it's the right time. right? it sure seemed like a good idea when i got started.
there is a lot to this story. a whole lot. tonight is not the night to share all that though. tonight is the night to kick this blog back up. i considered starting a new one - but then i realized, the "robin imagined" was about as perfect as i could get.
i (i being me ... robin) imagined this would be a completely different process
i imagined a completely different house
i imagined ... well ... kind of a different life when going through the process
i imagined a lot of things
but my life is what it is ... and it's good ... and the house i picked is my reality ... and it's a been a BIG dose of it. i don't feel it fair to the sellers to start telling the story of my choice, or share pictures, or get down to the nitty gritty (there's a lot of gritty). or to start the tales of the $$ process and those joys. After close - WHENever that is - i will get this little story started ...
the happy ... the sad ... the good ... the bad ... the glad ... and the mad
the story of robin ... and my first house.
one day i will appreciate it all, right? right? :)
