Here it is!

   Posted by: Rachel

I hate it when days have passed and so many things have happened, and I don’t know where to start to fill you in. So I’ll just say this - life has been incredible. Love, laughter, and much more have been almost overwhelming me. Of course, there has been the bad among the good, but so little of it. It may just be the good making everything else pale in comparison. Does it matter?

Many times I regretted the fact that we no longer own a decent camera, because I’m not sure my brain can handle all these good things. Most of them will be forgotten, and there won’t even be a record on my blog. And then I smile, because I know they are going to be other things, better things, happier things, to gush about in the future… and it’s… sweet.

Life is sweet. Slowly but surely I hope to document at least a few of the moments I don’t want to forget… like going pumpkin and apple picking for the first time, gluten-free dinner out for pasta, a quick trip to Oregon, and a lot more! Right now we are in the middle of something big, and it’s scary, because it’s wonderful and huge, and I’m not sure I can keep it under wraps much longer… we’re buying a house. Maybe. We’ve been approved for the loan, but there are some hoops to jump through, papers to be filled out, offers to be countered, and an endless list of ideas and hopes to be talked about.

I wasn’t going to say anything, because the economy is killing people, and we’re sitting here taking advantage of it buy trying to purchase property dirt cheap. I’m also terrified we’ll hit a glitch. Every time PimpDaddyPain begins to talk about it, he just glows - literally, his beautiful brown eyes light up and his smile stretches, and my heart melts all over again. The blow will be crushing, if it doesn’t work out - because he’s so happy, this is a huge “manly” accomplishment for him… heck, for me too.

That’s that. We’re busy, happy, and excited about the possibilities.
