Symmetry

It happened.

It actually happened!

You see those?

Yep, they are the keys to this...

All the papers were signed, and this baby is now officially

OURS!

Thank you all so much for hanging in there with me
through all the stops and starts,

the false alarms, the delays and my wicked bad moods
as this thing just dragged

on and on and ON.

And for all those of you who have let me know
that you can't wait to see how I doll this place up...

well, you're gonna have to wait.

At least a little while longer.

But this was always the plan,
I just didn't have the heart to break it to ya yet.

We actually won't start moving in for probably at least a month,
while our contractor begins work on the fencing and the out-buildings.
Our pups have to be safe and secure,
so we won't be relocating until our yard is safe and secure for them.

Until then, might I suggest that you regularly check in on my

Fabulous Farmhouse Sista, 

Dawn from The Feathered Nest?

She just landed herself a cute little farmhouse too,
and she seems to be getting moved in at record speed. 

So that oughta hold ya over until we start moving in, too.

So, what's up with the title of this post...symmetry?

On the drive back from the closing,
I was struck with the striking similarities between this and our last house closing.

We were living in the Rio Grande Valley at the time, and had to drive up to the
Texas Hill Country to sign all the papers ( a 6 hour trip )
and then turn right back around and drive back...

into a HURRICANE.

Hurricane Dolly was due to hit land the following morning,
and we had to get back to our animals.

Today, I made the 30 minute drive to sign all the papers in the midst of this...

Thanks to Tropical Storm Hermine, today we have flood warnings,
squall warnings, severe thunderstorm warnings and just generally yucky weather.

Just like the last time we bought a house!

Heck, we're Texans.

We're tough.

A little wind and rain ain't gonna keep this gal from this...

Symmetry.

Full circle.

 All in God's timing.

Have a wonderful {dry} evening!
