It’s been a year since we first “officially” looked at our current home with a realtor! I was immediately smitten with the house. Steven? Not so much. I think that may be influenced by the fact that he had just had a temporary crown put on, though. Poor guy. (Obviously, he came around.)

I remember calling my dad during my long run the next day and just gushing about the house. I felt kind of foolish, since I thought there was no chance in hell we’d ever sell our place and be able to move, but I couldn’t help but talk about it! Ha, I bet during that conversation, my dad never thought he’d be at said house, a year later, helping install ductwork. Thanks, Dad!

Out of curiosity, I opened up the photo folder from August 13th last year to see if we had taken a photo of the pond when we visited, to compare the levels to what they are at now. Yeah, definitely higher then (and more wild!):

But you know what? If the pond hadn’t gone down, we wouldn’t have discovered there were urns in it, and where’s the fun in not knowing that?!

I think we’ll be finding lots of interesting things here, in years to come. Ha.
