Somewhere in the middle of it all, I bought a house.
As I begin to sort and post the details for the sake of posterity, I am reminded of this that I wrote less than five years ago while I listened to this.
And then a comment from my dad...
I sit here, I think about you and I cry...for all you hoped for and worked for and dreamed for...then I sit back and am filled with such pride...for what you still hope for, work for and dream for. You will find it all...and those stones are slowly being assembled into a strong home and a tower of HOPE!

And you did it on your own... you bought a house and you've made it a home. Congrats!
Congratulations on the new house!! I love the wood floors and the clean look of the white trim. I can't wait to see more of it! :)
I am glad that you'll post a bit more about your new home. It is amazing how secure it feels to have your own place, to transform and mold into a reflection of your hopes and dreams.
looks like a charmer
Lovely! Been thinking of you and hoping you're doing well, person-I-don't-know-in-real-life. :) Happy to see this post. I think hope is my most favorite thing. And this house seems full of hope. Blessings as you move forward!
Good on you!! Such an amazing feeling!!
I love the way you dug right in to share with us your life but didn't feel like you had to write too much. Sometimes I don't catch up on my blog because I don't know where to start. I'm inspired by you, and as a woman I'm proud of your hopes and dreams too. And, I ADORE hard wood floors.
Good for you! I have been following on Instagram. The house is gorgeous! Your decorating is so impressive! I would enjoy a house like yours!
YAY! You're back! And congratulations on the house, it's a wonderful feeling. I can't wait to see pictures, I'm sure your decorating is going to be amazing!
i can't even imagine how it feels. so proud of you.
When I come here, to your space, I am somehow reminded of who I am. It's strange, I know, since I don't really know you and you don't really know me. But when I first started reading your beautiful, soul-searching words, I was searching my own soul.
In a way, it's like coming home. . . in a strange sort of way.
I guess I just want to say thank you and, well, I'm happy for you--
Wow, I am shocked to read the comment above. My Mother always said, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all."
On a happier note, congratulations on your first home. How exciting for you and your beautiful girls. It's nice to see how happy you are and how far you have come. I wish you all the best for your future. Take care of yourselves, much love from little old New Zealand!
from time to time i've popped in - hoping to find you here. i'm so happy to find the door open! and i cannot wait to see your house x
