sara, I've been thinking... we should do thanksgiving at YOUR NEW HOUSE this year!
Awesome idea!!!
sara, what everyone says is very wise. I know the next few months are going to be crazy making for you. And, then, eventually you'll feel like you're in Your Home. And that is an amazing thing. (Of course there will be the headaches of house ownership but, hey, renting also caused headaches!)
And, not to be all woo woo about it, but I got a really good feeling on your street and in your house (even with the rain-related issue). It felt comfortable and safe and happy there. for real.
