Okay so for those of you who may not know and it's probably not you because not too many people actually read this, BUT - Bear and I are moving into a house! I have never lived in a house that was mine before. The last house I lived in was 46 Webb and that house belongs to everyone. Since then it's been apartments if you can even call it that. I feel guilty living in the place I live in now because it used to be a beautiful old house and someone came in and raped it of all it beauty and made it into three apartments. They just forgot to add soundproofing - and insulation. And separate water pressure for each apartment. It should have just been left alone. Like the place I am about to move into - it was left alone and it is perfect - it has two stories and just can't wait to run up and down the stairs! It has two bedrooms and Bear wants the second bedroom to house all his toys which I am fine with because I can Shut The Door. But I told him that the toys can only live there until I pop out a baby. He looked at me like I had four heads. I don't think he believes me when I say I'm a girl and I can have a baby. Understandable, as I have never done it before. But I'm pretty sure it's possible. And the baby will have a window overlooking the park cady corner to our house. I have a kitchen that is big enough not only to fit two people but to fit a table. I can finally unpack all of my shower gifts!! Bear will have a small office in the back and off of that is something the reminds me of a smaller version of a room on Hawkins Road where I grew up - it was the TV room then it will be the TV room now. The front of the house has a tiny room that can only be one thing - my library. It has three windows that overlook the street and the park and the porch and it will have me, my books, my desk, my computer and my Matisse Painting, which, no matter where I've gone in my life, I have had in sight distance. And then the part where you all come in - the porch!!! It starts at the front door and wraps around to the back. It gets bigger on the side - big enough for a large table and chair and a hammock which comes with the house!! We have a back yard. I feel like my head is going to pop I am so excited. Is this really happening? I feel like it may not but I must keep going through the motions - make the world feel like it is! Place - it's so important. createing a home - creating sacred space. March 1st can't come fast enough. It will be perfect because by summer, I will be serving Margaritas and Sangria (depending on the day) on my porch and you are all invited! |
