Amidst the hurly burly of getting our temporary set-up in White Rock done, it’s been nice to find moments to just be. I spent a lovely bit of time playing piano two nights ago (it’s a weird fusion being here: some of the things from Aimée and my house mixed with things from my childhood and my parent’s house, all together in a totally different building), and played guitar on the patio last night. Later that night, we turned out the lights, and watched the lightning.

It hit me today as we were driving back from various errands (flooring to buy, groceries to get, cable-modems to return…) that we’ve bought a house. It keeps periodically hitting, but still seems somewhat surreal as we’ve only been to it a handful of times, and won’t be living in it for a while yet.

At times I let myself get overly stressed about all the details, but at times I can just sit back and enjoy the adventure. This moment is one of those times.
