Duke is doing much better. He's been my shadow ever since this whole raccoon thing happened, I think it really freaked him out. He's been a little needy and if he wakes up from a nap and I'm not in the living room he'll search the house for me- it's actually pretty cute and I'm not gonna lie, it makes me feel good. The antibiotics are working and the infection is cleaning out. It looks a lot better, thank God for that! It doesn't look like there will be any surgery for Mr. Duke anytime soon.
Also, big exciting news, John and I put an offer down on a house last night- a cute, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a fireplace in the living room and a huge backyard. We'll know by the end of the day if the offer was accepted, if not then we'll start counter-offering with the people but hopefully we'll both come to an offer where we're all satisfied. If we get this house we'll be in our new home next month. Happy birthday to me! How exciting is that? I feel so grown up right now...talking about home buying, mortgages and all that jazz.
At times I feel like I'm dealing with things far beyond my maturity level though. Don't take that the wrong way. It's just that sometimes I look at my friends and they're still living the party life in college, and then I look at my life and I'm 22, married, and trying to buy a house. Then I tell myself that those friends are still searching for the person they want to spend their life with- I found mine a long time ago; they couldn't buy a house even if they tried...I'm so damn blessed! Turns out, I'm not dealing with things beyond my maturity level after all; I'm just taking it all as God brings it to me. Who says 22 isn't old enough to be married, buy a house and start a family anyways? I'm doin it, and we're doing just fine.

did you get the house? :)
ReplyDeletewell they didn't accept our first offer, we didn't take their counter offer (they're being super stubborn and aren't willing to come down on the price), we put in our final offer tonight but I'm not holding my breath. I think the search is back on :/
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that!! Oh but God has a plan for you!! so keep your chin up and smile :)
ReplyDeleteYour last paragraph really hits home to me. I was 21 (and my husband was 20!) when we had zoey and bought our house. There are times I think that we were way too young with such grown up responsibilities, especially when friends who don't have them want to do crazy things...like go to a late movie on a week night. Lol. But this is the life I chose, and I really couldn't see me being any different. We will be the ones giving out all the advice when everyone else figures out that the whole family life really is where its all at.
