Declaring my Love

I love this house.
I love living in this house.
I love how this house smells.
I love this neighborhood.
I love the Dunkin' Donuts across the street [for the sweet tea, of course]
I love this part of town - even though it's different and so far away from my old part of town.
I love the feeling of putting down roots.
I love that the kids have been pretty much almost awesome about the move.
I love the kind people and fantastic customer service I've received.
I love that the football coach at Alex's new school welcomed him with open arms.
I love that Isabel had a great first day of school and that she looked darling in her uniform.
I love being in bed with the Husband at the end of a long day; the rest of the house quiet except for the two of us whispering about plans we have for this house -- our home.

Of course, I haven't yet made my first mortgage payment.
