We've got some first-timers!

Except for a quick work trip for Mr. Wendling last week, we have been sticking pretty close to home lately.  But, we are traveling through a whole slew of cool life-happenings.  The biggest one being that we are inching closer and closer to home-ownership.  Because of this paper-pushing process, we can't help but look ahead at all our life has in store for us in the next few months.  New walls.  New furniture.  Another new address - one that is ours!

It's in these moments that I try to take a deep breath.  I try remember to stay in this moment and not move too quickly to those future ones.  I try hard to savor the moment where I look on as my husband leans on that pricey degree to purchase us a home.  I make a conscious effort to absorb the moment when I answer his call to hear the amount I need to send in for an appraisal only to realize we don't know where to send it because, after all, we are first time home-owners! 

I raise a glass to us every-so-often so we remember to celebrate along the way because I can feel life as we know it evolving.  I feel this new responsibility building and I know that quickly we'll see in this new place only the changes we want to make.  And right now, well, it's a pretty cool moment.  One that I'm going to do all I can to savor.

Savoring??

CHEERS!
