It's all coming together

It's 5.30 am and I can't sleep because I'm too excited. My brain continues to go a million miles an hour with thoughts of veggie patches, warm wooden floors, a future of laughs and families being grown.

It feels like this is the first really adult thing I've done with my life. I'm proud of Tony and I that we've found a house that meets all our requirements. For a while there I honestly thought we would have to settle for something not exactly perfect, but nope! It's got everything we want.

Wooden floors - check!
Quiet street-check!
Affordable price-check!
New kitchen and bathroom - check!
Built in robes -check!
Large block-check!
Decent sized bathroom-check!
Neat and tidy-check!
Bath -check!

So we're going back for another look today, and this time I'll really let myself think about where our furniture fits. Up until now I've been trying to stay a bit aloof about the whole thing (with not a lot of success mind you!).

I know where still not totally out of the woods, we still have to get the 2 thumbs up with the building inspection and pets inspection. But the house seems so well cared for I'd be extremely surprised if anything was wrong with it.

I'm also starting to think about what we can do to make it better. One thing it does need is a shed for Tony, he needs a place where he can be a boy, make a mess, be creative and get away. Other thoughts include adding more to the kitchen, as there isn't a whole heap of cupboard space and bench tops. Also I'd love to have a dishwasher installed.
