Now that we’re wrapping things up at our current house and have finally revealed that we’re moving, we’ve given ourselves permission to lose our minds a little. This new house video tour is full of the kind of bright, bubbly excitement that only a home in your dream neighborhood can create. Forgive the enthusiasm — watching the video might make you cringe the same way my way-too-enthusiastic mom made me cringe in high school, which is probably a sign I’m becoming her. Uh oh.
There it is: the first set of stairs we’ve ever owned, and the house attached to them.
A few notes about the video:
- I’m totally not awkward at the beginning (wink).
- We used John’s phone to “time stamp” the video after Googling “today’s date” on the day we filmed. Clearly we’re very high-tech.
- Drinking game idea: count how many times I say “love.”
- Watch for John’s finger popping into frame to point the way — he holds the camera while I walk and chat. If I had the camera you’d get three sentences and long, awkward silences, so you’re better off this way.
- Apologies for a few odd audio moments: empty rooms echo and the upstairs bathroom fan is unnervingly loud on film.
- I briefly sing about stairs, because my life apparently is a musical now.
- We’re ridiculously excited — did I mention that already?
Please be patient when you ask about our plans and the to-do list we’re building. We’ll put together a floor plan post and share our master to-do list as soon as we solidify things — right now we’re in the ever-changing phase of deciding what to do next. It may take a little while to feel fully settled into a “new house” mindset since we still live in our current home and are juggling selling it, packing, and organizing the move.
I’ll close with a wholehearted “AHHHHHHHHHHH!” and a big, grateful kiss to everyone reading. We’re so excited to share this next chapter with you. And Mom — if you’re reading this — I’m not too worried about turning into you, though I’m not thrilled that none of my shoes will fit me the same way anymore.
