Alexi and I have our home in DC. Yes, I live in Ohio, but Alexi calls this “our house” and as asked me to do the same. I am staying in DC an extra week to help with our home. I am a excited. There is the fun stuff. Like Christmas Tree shopping and trimming which we will do on Sunday. There is the house maintenance stuff, I am having chimney inspectors come out and give us estimates on the status of the chimney and cost of converting it to gas. There is the decorative stuff, hanging photos, curtains, carpets, pillows, sit covers etc. I am excited. I was nervous when we first got this house, you may recall my previous entry.
Alexi, has always referred to many things he has afforded as “ours” which yes, I like but also makes me feel uncomfortable, I kind of feel this way about the house. I guess it is my home too, but I think I would think of it more as mine, if I had children (which I do NOT want right now). I’d like children just not now. I also told Alexi, that I will most likely never make as much money as him. Yes, I’ll be a doctor but I want to family practitioner. I want to spend time with my family and not all my time at work and so I just won’t be making as much money as him. I’d be able to afford this house in 5 years but I wouldn’t (as he can) afford it now. I guess he is almost 4 years older than me so that makes a difference, now. Anyway, I am looking forward to decorating our home.
