Big Hopes on the Frontier

So Dom and I have actually started the process of house hunting and seeing what is needed. Neither of us has great credit, but we are working on it as we go and as we can. We started the process with the bank on finding where we stand and I think on Wed. Dom meets with the official man at our bank.
I am hoping that as we make a big decision like this it brings Dominic some peace and we can then stay in this area a bit longer. I love my home town, more than I thought I did when I left joyfully years ago. And it's been a hard readjustment but to realize that some things remain the same when life is not what you want it to be is reassuring to say the least.
I understand that he is not in love with the south and he never will be, but there is something to be said for making lemonade out of lemons. but that is just my two cents. I remember a time when we were dating that he wasn't too happy with North Dakota. So i feel as though this could be a trend. I will be happy with wherever I land. But I don't want to move without having some things happen first and Dom knows what those things are.

On the house front also. Dom and I agreed that once we own a house we can start thinking about children and looking into adoption requirements. I know it won't happen tomorrow, but if we can realize where we stand and what we need to work on, we will. It's time to grow up and live this life we have been planning for.
