Post Halloween Post
Jorge & I are still house shopping. It's evolved from looking at tiny townhouses to large single family homes turned into 3-6 efficiencies illegally and now to small, townhouse sized houses with a yard. There was one we saw last week that we loved- it has a fireplace (Um... why?) a brick BBQ, a cactus in the front yard, palm trees, avocado, banana, mango, and some other fruit trees. It's not perfect, but we love it. It needs a little work, but we would gladly labor over it. It's taken months for us to look... and the process is fun but it's hard not to get my hopes up. I was literally praying to God that we will find a house that will be right for us just before we saw that one. And I'm still trying to keep the attitude that if we miss out, it wasn't meant to be. Goodness knows we have come a long way... but I still have hope that we will find "it" soon.
Jorge has been an angel as far as helping with contacting the Realtor, and our wedding contacts. He's struggling through another new grade at work and arguing with Geico during all this, but he doesn't complain. He is amazing. Speaking of amazing... he tried to orchestrate some sort of surprise for my birthday. He tries so hard! Bless his heart. Two of my friends showed up. Next year I want to dress up and celebrate Halloween for the first time in my life. My god, this year it was so boring. I guess last year was just hard to follow. Jorge also bought tickets to see Jonathan Coulton for my birthday! To clarify, the show is in January. I was so touched that my eyes got all teary. It's touching to see how much he cares.
WE did our registry last week, and the woman helping us was suggesting things, and we don't know anything about what would match with our potential home's decor. All I could think was that I would want to incorporate as much geek stuff as possible, like this:
It felt productive to get some stuff done, like our registry and website. There's still a thousand things left to do, so I'm going to try and enjoy this as much as I can.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Anthony sent me a package with "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" with a hilarious card. =)
