(it's not that I don't clean, there are just so many other things I'd rather be doing)<br /><br />Still, I think the awkward timing of a brand spanking new mortgage and a perfect carrier who needs money to be a GREAT problem to have. Seriously. Go and tempt fate.

A lot of house and land for two, but we fill it up...and it provides enough space for the two of us if we need some alone time.<br /><br />I would've been content staying in our danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629199548004353461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081793919169564426.post-20251576494905619792011-09-28T12:24:43.557-05:002011-09-28T12:24:43.557-05:00I so get the whole "its just the two of you&q...I so get the whole "its just the two of you" thing.

Distraction. It is the first thing M said when we got in the car - well, at least we'd have things to do over the weekends instead of feel sorry for ourselves.

My brain says the things your FIL says. So to shut down those horrible thoughts, I have decided to avoid all thoughts of new houses until I see two lines on a pee stick! Which might be never.

To help take their mind off things, they went looking at model homes in a new subdivision... and wound up with a 3500 square foot house.

Our gateway walk through was actually around the corner - a far smaller, but much tidier little arts and crafts style house. Driving home we saw this one for sale and were like, hey now, same price twice the house.

There was plenty of room for another person. Slowly but surely we've filled that extra space with stuff.
