Our first House, our family

When Mr Contractor completes work (hopefully) next week, we will be moving into our very first Home.

We have lived in several categories of rented accommodation before, but this is probably the most exciting of all our previous domestic experiences; partly due to the time it has taken us to prepare our house, but mostly because we will be planting our roots for the first time in 3 years.

Everything from land assessment to the plants in our garden will be within our realm of responsibility, and from this, we anticipate a less care free life. Notwitstanding the added responsibility, we do look forward to a life together in a place we can truly call our own, in every sense. Perhaps this is a significant part of being a grown up, and building a life together.

It is a sense of pride, that we feel, that flows beyond words; or perhaps it is the case that we just can't find the words to accurately express our happiness.
