Predictably, it was left to my frantic husband to find one, with 2 days before the school registration deadline.<br /><br />Despite the meltdowns and complete trauma, the home we found was, while not perfect in itself, just a few doors from the most wonderful people, who instantly adopted us. We have had a fabulous 2 years, and the lesson in 'what is meant to be' has kept us going through two torturous house sales, (and a significant financial loss) and the temptation to rush into the buying the next one. <br /><br />So, yes, I'm with you. We fall in love with kitchens and fixtures and fittings, but it's the small welcome gifts that land on your door that make it home, every time.Rachelhttp://definingmoves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093506451439569776.post-33648821830793484002012-07-18T21:38:17.981-07:002012-07-18T21:38:17.981-07:00I knew you would LOVE IT!!
