How I spent my week-end.

We bought a house. At least we put in an offer on a house.

I'm finding out purchasing a house is very similar to a chess game. You make an offer, they make a counter offer, you make an offer on house choice #2 to see how it goes. If house #2 makes this move, you make move A. If house #2 makes that move, you make move B.

Then you ask for the piano.

Besides that we went out to eat and celebrate our anniversary (a week later) on Bardstown Road. I had three chocolate martinis...about two too many....and we walked home. How nice to live within walking distance!

If our offer is excepted (no doubt about that) we will live on the Indiana side of the River and remain in Hoosier land.

Imagine that.

And is the house an option that has you excited? Or does it feel like "settling for pretty close"?

How can one ever have too much chocolate, regardless of its accompaniment.

Congrats on the anniversary!!

Good luck with all the negotiations.
Happy Belated Anniversary!!!!!
