its funny to think that i am a grown up. i am graduating college in less than a month, starting a real job, house hunting! it is crazy to me.
although i never dreamed i would be staying in utah, it is something that has happened and although i am sad to be away from my family who are all in california, i realize that utah is the place that ry and i are suppose to be for right now. it is scary and fun and sad and exhilarating at the same time.
i always dreamed of owning a house, raising a family. those dreams are starting to come true and it is awesome. i am nervous about it. i am no longer playing house. i am going to own a house and really start real life.
but while house hunting, we have realized something. ry is a DIY-er at heart. he loves the houses that have potential. he grew up ripping out carpets and hammering down walls. his family rebuilt their whole house. so naturally, he wants a house that we can make our own. i grew up in a family where changing a lightbulb or painting some furniture was a big deal. we like turn-key houses. {meaning the house is move in ready} as you see from the description, ry and i have very different views when house hunting. but i see his side. i get excited when i think of redoing things the way i like them. being able to be creative and use all my pinterest ideas! we have been looking for weeks. trying to stay below our budget and find something we can see ourselves raising a family in.
so we found a house that is ry's style. it is a great layout and has so much potential! but it is a DIY dream! it took some convincing but i see where he is coming from and i love the house. {or more, i love what the house can be} it will take work but i figure that work will give ry and i something to do together and it will be a fun project. i have faith in ry and all our friends who love ripping a house apart.
we put the offer in today!
we shall see what happens!
fingers crossed
im ready to be a big girl now.
