Our New Home

Despite all my years I still feel like a little boy within. I have a difficult time peering into the mirror and recognizing a real mature man. You might have considered the delivery of my 2nd child would have altered it, yet I still appear to be in denial of the aging process.

In regards to aging — or instead putting it off — my wife and I recently moved into a brand new house and this home features room in the basement for the home gym my wife had always sought. But I’m seeing dollar signs when I consider all the small and big things required, from the required but often neglected weight benches and excercise mat to deciding on the most versatile of the many stationary bicycles.

An exercise bike can be tricky these days. Do you go recumbent or upright bike? Should you choose an analog or electronic?

Of course, my wife appears determined to get an elliptical trainer too. You understood that right. A stationary bicycle and an elliptical machine — not only one or the other. My estimate is that the extra exercise equipment will go with the stretch mark treatment she began using after she bore our youngest child. I’m sure I’ll regret that joke.

I must be particular with our budget because our new home is a bit more of a diamond in the rough. We desired it this way, but we still have to carefully budget every little thing, even to a knob for a cabinet (I’m not jesting). My wife has an ambitious kitchen refacing design projected, but I have to remind her the bathroom sink she desires installed will cost a pretty penny, as well.

Gratefully, we both like the rustic, natural look, so we are furnishing our new house with unfinished furnitures. It still needs a little finishing, but she and I can keep the expenses down and create higher quality furniture than we could purchase in any store.

I recently found a good with some nice, natural knotting and a console table in matching cedar. For our outdoor patio we are exploring outdoor fireplaces and we will furnish with some budget wicker furnitures initially.

Supplying a new home may seem so adult, but I can’t help but feel like I am merely playing house. The new furniture and exercise equipment just feel like a new generation of toys.
