Firstly, Mike and I will be taking over a lease on a duplex. We are supposedly doing this for a few months until we can re-review our financial situation and possibly secure a mortgage. While I'm fine with that, I'm secretly hoping this will be a comfortable, nice place for us to start our life and get everything together: the animals, our finances, my health, our work, etc. And I know that will take more than three to four months. I will be fine with staying there for as long as is necessary, if it's as cozy as I'm hoping it will be. I know better than most, though, that planning these things is pretty much useless. What will be, will be -- I'll be able to deal with whatever comes. And if in three months our credit reports have magically fixed themselves and a dream house falls into our lap along with a dream mortgage and astoundingly low rates, who will I be to complain? A fool!
However, I am looking forward to our first "home" -- a place where I can get things organized just the way I want them, and set precendents for future homes that we will share. I am excited to get my cats back, to put all of our "kids" together and create a feline and canine version of the Brady Bunch. I would like to be able to use the space to start putting in order what it means to be an "us" in an environment that's completely under our control. I think it will be nice, and I wouldn't mind drawing it out for awhile.
New home for 2012, here we come.
