Days of Grace 7-27-10
1. Um, where to begin? Well, I’m the luckiest woman in the world and I am so well-aware of that fact.
2. The Perfect House looks like it will, in fact, be our Perfect House. We put in a low bid, they countered within a few hours, and we’re going to be discussing details today. Details like getting to cherry pick through their 10,000 book library. Their counter-offer came in right where we hoped it might + the added book bonus? I think we just bought a house, folks.
3. Last. Day. Of work. And not even a full day at that, because my day begins with an 11am meeting with HR to discuss my imminent departure. Three cheers for getting to go in late to work on one’s last day! Woohoo!
4. Flying to Italy on Friday. Holy crap! That’s in, like, three days! Wow!
5. My husband is the coolest, most wonderful man in the world. I know, most women say that about their husbands. But mine? He really is. Plus he has great taste in houses. And books. And I get to live with him in our house with our kid and dog and gazillion books and a flock o’ chickens. He’s the most wonderful and I’m the happiest. And the luckiest. And days like today, keeping a gratitude journal like this seems sort of pointless because, really? Every breath is breathing in gratitude and trying not to hyperventilate.
OMG a baby, a great dog, the perfect house, AND a gazillion books? That’s one seriously great life you’re having right now. I am so thrilled for you.
I am in Flag with Grandma & Aunt Mary.
My phone is charged and ON and is being kept in my bra so I don’t miss you or Dad.
I am soooo excited for you and the Boy. You, my DD, are reaping the rewards that you have worked for and dreamed about and how unbelieveably wonderful that you are getting all wishes granted in the next few weeks.
No one deserves all of these blessings more than you, my sweet. Good guys (and gals) do not always finish last. Your perseverance has astonished me and I am so very proud of you and so very thrilled that you will be raising Thor in The Perfect House.
Much love and many hugs to you both.
I am so excited for you! I live in Portsmouth, NH and have been following you for a while. Congratulations! If you need any recommendations (restaurants, shopping, etc) please let email me:)
