See? I came back for a second week in a row, just as promised! Sorry if this caused you to lose a bet. Next week, you’ll know who the winning horse is!!! …Or something.
One of the reasons that my posts have been a bit on the lean side this year (ok, VERY lean….expect Sally Struthers to appear asking you to donate money to my blog posts), is due to the fact that I’m terrible at coming up with blog post ideas. I can ramble on about things like the X-Men and Batman forever (*cough* “The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1” is AWESOME, go check it out *cough*), but that’s not really what this blog is about, nor is it my goal to scare everyone away with mindless nerd babble.
So, my savior is the writing prompt! I did a google search, and was suddenly reminded that it was Nay Mole Blow Pole month, and EVERYONE is going to be getting desperate for blog writing prompts! Hail to the Blow Pole!!!
I found a list on BlogHer, so I have chosen the topic listed for today (uh, I mean YESTERDAY) because it’s totally fitting: “If you could live anywhere, where would it be?”
A year ago (or even six months ago), I’d have said “Wilmington, NC in a better house!!!!” Now that it’s November 3rd, 2012 I say “Near Wilmington, NC in the dream house that Jenn, Sandy, and I designed!!!!” Not that the apartment we’re in now isn’t great, it’s just that it will be nice to be settled in our house. The sales rep from our future housing community just sent us this photo, the first glimpse we’ve gotten of the siding and shutters!
Doesn’t that look great?? I think we did a great job picking out the exterior colors!!
But the real point that I wanted to make is that I love living in Wilmington (or just outside of it, as the case will be). I’ll be driving down the road running an errand, or going out with Jenn, and I’ll think “Wow, what a great town we live in!” pretty much daily. The weather is perfect, there’s a TON of stuff to do, and Iron Man spent the summer down here. What’s not to like???
There’s no “the grass is always greener” syndrome going on now that we’ve finally made it down here and settled in. It was the right choice, and I have no regrets!
So happy for you guys..everything is coming into place and thats awesome. Hope to meet you and visit with your lovely wife that I havent seen in ages and ages sometime soon…oh and I can’t forget one of my favorite people on earth..your mother in law..love you all…hope you get settled in your new house soon
What a great house Casey. It’s gonna be even better when you don’t have to use that potty 🙂 lol.
Really it’s been about six years since I’ve been to your neck of the woods but I agree it’s a wonderful town. And that house is gonna look great with a couple of rocking chairs on the porch!

The house looks great! I really love the fact that it’s in N.C. The place I want to be. One day…sigh.
Awesome, Casey. The house looks amazing. I can’t wait to see pics of the inside!
In other news, it’s 40 degrees in Maine right now.
