There Is A New House In My Life (maybe. possibly. tentatively.)

THE BATHROOM IS BIGGER THAN THE BLUE BANANA.

I can't believe this is happening. Sometimes I wish I had better timing. We're disappearing from the face of the planet in days which is toootally convenient for things like, you know, contracts. Perfect.

But who cares.

I met a house. That's the point. And he has lazy little sailboats. And a master bedroom larger than Montana. And those art deco doorknobs that make me sob from happiness. And lots of big hardy light. And built in window seats. And old wood floors. And brick. And big, powerful doors. And it's at the end of a street that's so dreamy that I could actually imagine myself staying there. For more than a year or two. Or forever.

So.

I'm not excited. They probably won't take our offer. Or someone will buy it out from under us. Or the fax machine in Barcelona will throw up our paperwork. Or we'll find out that the house has rabies. Or is infested with rats. Rats that have rabies will buy the house out from under us. Because the fax machine in Barcelona will be broken.

But. Still. Eek.

OHMYGOSHohmygoshohmygosh.

We might be moving.

Good luck. I hope it is meant to be. Mostly because now you've got me curious to see this beauty and the street it lives on.

Thanks, everyone. Fingers crossed, but we're not getting our hopes up. It's still a looong shot.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who convinces myself of bad things just so I don't get disappointed if it falls through... I did that with my house when I put in an offer hah!

But really... congrats...and what better way to celebrate than to be in Espagna when you find out the good news!

Well, this is a fun development !
These are the best ways to find houses, when you aren't really looking to move.
Barcelona will be up to the job of faxing and buying a house .. I am sure of it.
Same neighborhood ?

I'm excited for you. But I kinda want you to send your kitchen up to Illinois if you move. You won't need it anymore, right?
