Danny and I had a very successful and busy weekend. We aren't able to move in yet because they haven't finished painting but there is still a lot we have to do before it is move in ready. The house is pretty old, very vintage but I absolutely love it. There is more room than we know what to do with and a great backyard with lots of room to run for Soph and Luke. Unfortunately the couch we have just isn't going to work with the living room so we need to shop around and find another one. Our washer and dryer were delivered to the house yesterday and I love them. They are so pretty and so quiet. I can't wait to use them everyday!
Yesterday we spent the whole day shoveling the driveway. The house has been empty for awhile so there was so much ice built up. We got all the ice shoveled off the driveway and we salted so if it snows again hopefully the salt will help melt it so that doesn't happen again. The driveway is huge so I think it would be a good idea to invest in a snowblower. Although I don't mind shoveling. We also needed to buy a new garage door opener, so we did that yesterday. There is a lot of cleaning and updating we need to do while we are there. I am excited to finally get to live there. We are in a very convenient location. It is kind of far from family but we are so close to everything. The house is on 36th St. in Ogden so we are very close to Riverdale. Driving around town yesterday I was getting excited about all the things we will be close to.
Danny and I have kinda been going through a rough patch. It's hard to plan and get things done around chemo. I need a lot of help from him and sometimes I can't do things without him. I hate it. I know he is frustrated and tired from his job and me. I feel like a burden. Even though I know he loves me and will do anything. I can tell right now there is a lot going through his head. We both know that once chemo is over, everything will be better. It will almost be like a new life for the both of us. I am so happy that he has stuck by my side through everything.
I've come to the realization that having a house is going to take a lot of work. But having a house is something that I have always dreamed of. I can't wait to take on this huge responsibility. This will be another test for Danny and I. This is definitely going to test our relationship but I think this will be good. Before we buy a house together we have to go through these obstacles to see if this relationship is strong enough to get through anything.
