Movin' to the 'burbs!

Today Sketchy and I became homeowners for the very first time. 

Please note: the following is about to be very uncharacteristic of Nalini, i.e. super cheesey-happy with a side of emotion. 

I will start off by saying signing on the dotted line was an incredible feeling. I can hands down say this feeling is unlike any I've ever felt before. Any other milestone in my life thus far is completely crushed by the excitement that our new home brings me. I don't think I realized until today just how much a house would mean to me. 

A house is the beginning of the life I have strived and secretly wished to attain since I was a child. It's no shock to many that I didn't have the most family oriented happy-go-lucky childhood, but it's something I have always pined for. To me, a house is the first tangible step to a family life that I have some sort of control over. 

In essence, a house is not a structure to me. A house is the legitimate beginning of the adult life I have always wanted -- to simply build a home full of love, life and happiness. 

It is very difficult to explain, but for those who have known me through my childhood I truly appreciate the genuine happiness you have shown and shared with me in this huge step in my life!

Some pictures we took last week! Sketchy was such a good sport taking all sorts of pictures for nearly an hour. A giant thank you to Brenna for her patience and photographing skills! 

I have often wished I could trade in my GW education for a wedding planning or interior design decorating career. Every tiny decorative piece of a home excites me. All of the crafty projects I've tucked away through the years will become reality filling the rooms and walls of our home. 

Tomorrow we head to Florida. I'll be taking a two week hiatus from the blog. I very much look forward to sharing our beautiful new beginning in the new year with all of you.
