“You’ll sell your vinyl records…and go get us a loan.”
I have a house…. actually no. *We* now have a house. A thought that hasn’t yet failed to induce a panic attack every morning at about 3 a.m. since I looked into Jeff’s eyes and thought to myself that he just may love the house more than he loves me.
We looked at a LOT of homes. We fell in love with one only to have it swept out from underneath us. Then we looked at about 35 other homes that met our criteria (progressively getting higher in price) before we found IT (at double the price of the first one we fell in love with).
It really is a great house. But the price? Scares the shit out of me. From the front yard it looks normal, I mean sure you have to go through so much security that you start to feel like you are guarded by secret service agents to get to it. But once you can actually stand in the front yard it appears to be a normal 3/2/2/2.
See?
Hell even from the front door you don’t see anything panic inducing…

But as you work your way to the back of the house your heart starts to beat a little bit faster…
Yeah. That is an indoor pool. Why anyone would see the need for an indoor pool here of all places is beyond me. Oh well at least I won’t get sunburned when reading poolside.
Then if you walk through that wall of doors. You see what is making Jeff all hot and bothered.
The boat dock. The boat dock that is big enough to hold that 32′ monster sailboat of his. And what is a boat dock without water?
And that right there is the crux of TheIssue. ThePerfectHouse doesn’t sit on any of the rivers leading to the Gulf… or any of the canals leading to the Gulf. No. We had to fall in love with a house that actually sits ON the Gulf of Mexico.
And that is the view that is keeping me up at nights. That and the fact that my little company owned Civic and Jeff’s old beat up Jeep that is missing its doors and top are going to look so out of place in the driveway. I’m already feeling the pressure to buy a Mercedes so I can keep up with the Joneses and I don’t even move in till the end of the May.
Congrats on the house!
