We go to Denver; I need to feel settled
Jul. 6th, 2014 07:47 pmWe went to Denver last month for our friend Petra's wedding. The sun/heat/elevation did awful things to me but it was all worth it for the trip. I had brought two dresses with me (I ordered one, then the place told me they didn't have it so I scrambled to find another one. Ordered a new one, original place tells me they found the dress I ordered. Thus, two dresses) After expressing my concerns over FB and texting to Libby & Jessica, I decided to risk the halter strap dress for the wedding. I was worried it might be a little "TITS AHOY" for a wedding. Paul and Stephen and I stopped to grab a bite before heading to the ceremony and I asked them if the top was too revealing for a wedding. Stephen says to me "darling, you are asking this of two heterosexual men who enjoy breasts. We are the target audience and thus not the ones to ask" Ha ha, boys :P But I got them to agree that it was "well, that woman looks nice and has attractive cleavage" rather than "that chick looks cheap with her tits hanging out" But then of course upon seeing Jessica and later Libby they both said "wow, that dress is awesome! And your boobs look amazing" So I've quit worrying about my boobs. Although halter straps and I don't get along very well, hurts the back of my neck. I'm so glad we got to be there for the wedding though, the ceremony was perfect, plus I got to see people I don't get to see often and needed some serious hugs. AND I got to hold hands with an adorable almost-three-year-old and dance with my husband :)
Now we are currently in the process of trying to unload this house. I hate it much less now that we have an actual kitchen, but it still not our "forever house" and it was never meant to be but thanks to the Rupus we've been here longer than intended. I need a house with a bathroom on the same floor as our bedroom and have always wanted to live in a particular area of Tacoma. I've put this house up on a couple of free sites to see if I can drum up a little interest without having to pay for a listing site (our Realtor suggested selling ourselves to save us money) I've gotten interest from a few investors which I think is the best option since they either have the time & money to flip it or rent it out. Mostly I'm just ready to feel settled. The Rupus is still in flux and will likely stay that way and I just need something to be positive and permanent. I can tell this latest round of drugs is wearing off and am desperate to get things accomplished while I'm still feeling semi-functional. Plus house-hunting is my favorite thing EVER and I want to get to it!
