Expect the Unexpected

Neither K nor I have purchased a house before, so the last bit of May, all of June and half of July has been, and will be, a huge learning experience for us. Thankfully, we have a few brain cells to rub together. One of the things I like most about being married to K is that we are a TEAM. I have always felt that we make a good team, whether it was while teaching dance lessons, working together professionally, or navigating whatever life has handed to us. The fact that I feel like we can overcome whatever comes our way is something that I would not trade for the world.

One of the things I never would have planned for while buying a house is blatant theft. More specifically, blatant theft of $900 from K's checking account. The rat bastard has his online banking information, his PIN, and $900.

Today, we are scheduled to have the house inspected, and I will be paying for that, rather unexpectedly. We are able to do it, but not with the cushion that we originally had. Apparently, the theft is being resolved by the bank, but final resolution will be in ten business days.

So I guess the moral of the story today is, well, not a moral at all, but rather, trying to remind myself of what I already know: 1) we will get through this; 2) always expect the unexpected.

The expected is just so nice, though!
