Going Hunting

Alternate title: 1953

We waited until we got and signed our contracts before doing anything official. We started the pre-approval process and are on the hunt for a HOUSE! After ten years of apartment living and finally settling down, we are ready to have a housssssse.

I want a big house. It has always been a childhood dream. Brick. Pool. Ponies. Yup.

Rooms. I want rooms. I want a room for Ivy, of course. Any open space would be hers. The houses we look at have a spare space that could work as a playroom. But then extra bedrooms... I dream of my own personal space. A pseudo-chameleon of spaces, if you will. A craft room. A large walk-in closet for myself. A home office. I also dream of a guest room for visitors. That'd be nice. "That'd" looks tremendously weird. Anyway, that'd be a fourths room, counting the master of course. 

I want a largish back yard. Kid(s) and dog(s), you know? Kids now spend too little time outside. However, I know Ivy loves being outside so I want that for her. I want a pool. I love swimming and so does Ivy. It would be nice, but it isn't absolutely necessary.

Anything else, Lena? Mmm, I don't kno......

A big kitchen! I lo-... We love to cook! Storage! Organization! Appliances that work!

AAaaaand speaking of cooking.

I tried another new recipe, care of Pinterest of course. Salisbury steak, which was easy and yummy!

Recipe forthcoming.

Have a night! I am.
