Everything so far this weekend has been a first.<\/p>\n
First time homebuyer<\/p>\n
First family dinner at the house<\/p>\n
First night sleeping at the house<\/p>\n
First shower at the house<\/p>\n
and on and on the list goes. It’s really overwhelming, and it’s really exciting. It’s a very different kind of roller coaster than before, but a roller coaster nonetheless. I think the crazy bit is that at the end of the day it’s all mine. It’s just such an awesome feeling. These firsts are just milestones that make that more and more obvious… and fun to celebrate.<\/p>\n
First rainy weekend spent watching the birds.<\/p>\n
First time playing in the toy room.<\/p>\n
First take out ordered (from a Thai place down the street. Delicious!)<\/p>\n
I really love it. I hope this feeling never goes away \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
