I am so grateful for having spent 3 lovely days with the man.

It's really felt like we were on holiday - slow slow starts, luxuriating in bed for ages, leisurely brunches, wandering around in town together, shopping, making food together, reading in cafes, being close and happy. sitting and walking in the sun, enjoying the clear blue skies. simple things, really, but very precious. oh and the pie! i made the crust, L made the filling - divine! lamb, pea and potato pie. YUM!

strange that in the midst of all that we closed the deal on the house, confirmed the contract, haggled back and forth on some terms (first time i ever negotiated with anyone for a house! so proud of myself - this for someone who normally can't even bargain in a pasar malam), calls back and forth between the real estate agent, lawyers and us.

we both felt it, i'm so grateful for God's hand in all this - making what would have been a hectic and stressful couple of days into a dreamy relaxing holiday.

now we are the happy owners of a house and our own little piece of land, every square metre of it! i'm so excited and looking forward so much to moving in there with L and starting our new chapter - students again!

L's starting another string of nights, while tomorrow I'm off to the countryside. what's in store for me? only one way to find out!
