Adventures in House Hunting
Hi Everyone! I'm back! Hope everyone had a great week last week...as you know we were in Albuquerque house hunting, and look what we found:
Not the classic adobe with a view of the mountains I was dreaming of (turns out, that's out of our price range), but I'm soooooooo excited nonetheless. There are some hoops that must be jumped through, but fingers crossed this is going to be ours. Throughout the house hunt this was known as the "60's Fab" house...it's like Mad Men crossed with Palm Springs (we're going to have a pool!), with a little bit of Mexico sprinkled in. These are just crappy iPhone photos, and of course somebody's else's stuff, but we have plans to make this place oh-so-very-cool. It felt like our home from the second we walked in.
In other news:
- ABQ is cool (I'd never really been), I can definitely see us enjoying ourselves there
- It's all about red or green chile...I like both so I've been taught to order my food "Christmas" (hee hee)
- The more we learn about my husband's new job, the cooler it sounds
- The grandmas watched the babies (and I missed them TERRIBLY)...they (the babies) sprouted teeth while we were gone and the world is now their personal jungle gym and they say "Da!" when their daddy walks into the room (they've been saying "Ma-ma" for some time but I'm still not convinced it's meant specifically for me)
- And my brother's (now mine) dog Dexter had his eye removed in surgery today...long story but he is doing well and that's all that matters
AND...tomorrow is my last day in this (our Colorado) house...I'm feeling kind of sad when there's a second to think about it. Packing starts Wednesday...my husband's headed to ABQ Saturday...me and the kids and the dogs are decamping to my parents, probably until about mid-March. I hate being away from my husband but love love love spending time with my parents, so looking forward to that.
It's chaos around here, but a good, excited, my-husband-is-taking-care-of-almost-everything kind of chaos.
Cross your fingers for us and the house...it's not a done deal (long story I'll tell when it's over).
XOXO
