And I do. I told Chris that about buying a house. And honestly, he is much more opinionated about housing than me. I felt, and still do, completely confident about the house........
even though I have not seen it.
Yep, I said it. I have not seen it and honestly I didn't think much about it. Till the title company called me on the phone during closing and said "you really haven't seen the house."
Chris took possession on Wednesday and was there that night to begin getting the house ready. The neighbors on either side came by and said, "So your wife hasn't seen the house yet?"
Then two night later, he said a lady from another street came over to introduce herself and she heard that I have not seen it yet!
Chris called me tonight and made sure that I knew, if I said something around there to anyone it was like broadcasting it on e-mail and forwarding it to everyone. lol.
Apparently when he met the previous owners they got their facts mixed up. The next door neighbor has a four year old boy and was so disappointed to find that our four year old was a girl. They were extremely happy that it turned out he was actually a boy. Because apparently many of the kids on the street are girls.
The other neighbor thought that we had two boys and another thought that our boy was older than our girl. I think he has set the record straight and all genders are now being circulated through the grapevine.
We have lived here for six years and maybe talk to our neighbors once or twice a month. I just met the people two houses down a couple months ago and they actually have kids my kids age, I just never see them outside playing.
Chris says that Friday night there were at least 15 kids outside playing. Everyone's houses are decorated up with lights. Neighbors are coming over from everywhere to introduce themselves, kids are out playing soccer and waiting on the bus in the mornings with parents out talking. It sounds like we have chosen a great place to live.
But back to the house.
My MOPS table bought me a present last week. It was two plaques that really said it all.
She said that she knew that we had been apart so long and that once we were back together it would be happily ever after. I loved it! It will go up in our house. 
And this was perfect. Being apart for six months has readjusted our thinking a lot and it will truly be a blessing when we are back together again for good. It doesn't matter where the house is or if I have seen it or not.
