first things first

So, what exactly did you do, Kris, as a single girl?  You know, that thing you said that you were going to do first?  That first thing you did as an unattached gal, while the family was out of town?

I'm glad you asked.

The answer is ...

Not much.  I just bought a house.   Just a little something to surprise my husband with when he came home from California ...

Here it is:

I'm in love with it.  It's a one story home that's brand new.  I've never had a brand new home.  And I've looked at plenty of homes lately ... but none compared to brand new construction.  And even though I said "one story" it's got a secret second story that's found only when you walk all the way to the back of the house, in the back corner.  And up there?  A full bedroom, full bath and a TV/game/media/MY ROOM.   That little second floor?  ALL MINE.

Here's the kitchen.  Cuz I know you want to see where I'll be cooking all of my gourmet meals.

Too bad I don't cook.

Too bad Rick doesn't know I bought this house.

Too bad I don't care.
