Flat Out
Faith and I are now the proud owners of our new home. After getting the keys this morning, we rushed down (Faith teaches in the afternoon) to take a look at the place.
We stood there for a while before churning out a cacophony of ideas. Where the reading corners would be; where we’d put up shelves for the huge collection of children’s books Faith has accumulated over the years; where to set up the Mac shrine etc.
It’s weird to think of ourselves as homeowners. In so many ways, we still act like children. I’m thankful for it though. The fact that we got together so early meant that we comfortable being our childhood selves with each other. We sing cartoon tunes from the eighties - from Denver the last dinosaur to Mask. Even now as I’m typing this, I hear Faith exclaim “Wondertwin powers activate!”. Apparently her sister and her stumbled upon the old cartoon on the Cartoon Network.
So here we are, having just taken out a loan of a few hundred thousand dollars over the next thirty years. The economic climate doesn’t look rosy, but God’s bigger than that.
Thanks for all the words of encouragement you guys have given me.

I commented on the previous post but think part of it is more relevant to this one, if you like, we know a good contractor who speaks English, provides excellent work and after-sales service (even now, 1 1/2 years later, he still comes round and does small jobs for us for free). And you and Faith and welcome to visit our home and just ask any questions about renovations. The more you know about what you want, the less regrets you will have in the future regarding home fixtures. Even with very extensive planning, we have areas where on hindsight, something could have been better - and we'll love to share these insights with you.
Congratulations!
Let me know if you need any help with anything. :)
hope you get lots of prezzies, happy mermories and food and faith and....
