I feel like we're still in an in between place and that we need to be somewhere else before we start a family and, you know, really settle into our lives. But what you said is so true: As long as we're together, it really doesn't matter.<br /><br />I'm all for the purple house or the fixer-upper, as long as it's in DC so I can drive down and meet you one of these days!Emily (The Culinary Couple)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06298998305737012144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-65651993121821056362011-01-04T21:36:45.817-05:002011-01-04T21:36:45.817-05:00I have to say - all of 2010 changed me.

Too many trials, too many funerals to walk away unscathed, but just enough added perspective to make me all the more excited for the new year to come.<br /><br />Happy 2011, friend. xoxoCydhttp://thesweetestoccasion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-52534155181907679342011-01-04T18:55:36.323-05:002011-01-04T18:55:36.323-05:00BUY THE PURPLE HOUSE!BUY THE PURPLE HOUSE!SLynnRohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016804259405363833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-65571116017288415502011-01-04T16:22:14.307-05:002011-01-04T16:22:14.307-05:00Maggie I am so sorry about the house.

We had the same thing happen to us when we were looking, and I like the house we ended up with soooo much better. Still sucks though.
