i was so eager i texted him...but being the lovable stubborn guy that he is, he applied for the house anyway- also throwing in something- ahem- to sweeten the deal.
and i was fretting all day sunday as to what our future was going to be like- were we to live in a travel trailer? gosh- that would be ironic. to be turned away from a 2,700 square foot house because it is "too small" only to have to live in a bunkhouse travel trailer that is what? 500 square feet?!?! oh, and by the way- we currently live in a house that is anywhere from 1500 to 1600 square feet and it is not only doable- i kind of like the shortage of cleaning time we have. i kept thinking- "we would have to be lottery winners in order to afford the house the world *thinks* is perfect size for us. edit out "the world" in the previous sentence and enter in "america" instead.
whilst i was fretting away a beautiful sunday, unbeknownst to me- dear chris was emailing back and forth with the landlords about bellevue house- doesn't it sound british? or maybe like a posh psych half way house?
later sunday night we were co-watching a movie while facetiming when he got an email. i had him muted because his movie was a second ahead of mine and it was driving me crazy- so he starts waving at me to get my attention.
unmute facetime.
"pause it! pause it!"
(and while the sentence above dons exclamation marks- do not read it with any inflection as such. chris isn't one to show such excitement. i just know him so well that exclamation marks while weren't an exact translation, were the closest to what was needed).
"i just got an email from the bellevue house people and they are sending over the lease paperwork tomorrow."
we have a house!!!!(read with exactly four exclamation marks worth of excitement- for most direct translation)
as is always the case- i never know how much stress i am under until it is lifted. and boy, was it lifted off upon hearing this news
