Our New Home
I still feel like a little boy within. I have a hard time peering into the mirror and locating a fully realized mature man. You would have thought the birth of my second child might have altered it, but I still appear to be in denial of the aging process.
And regarding aging — or rather putting it off — my wife and I bought a new home and this home features enough room in its basement for the home gym my dear wfe had always desired. I’m seeing dollar signs when I think about the many small and big items needed, from the essential but oft-neglected weight-lifting benches and exercise mats to determining the most versatile stationary bicycle.
Stationary bikes can be tricky these days. Do I go with an upright or a recumbent stationary bike? Should you go with an analog or electronic?
Of course, my dear wife seems set on getting one of those elliptical trainers too. You understood that right. An exercise bicycle and an elliptical trainer — not one or the other. My guess is that the extra exercise equipment will go with the cream for stretch marks she started using after she bore our youngest daughter. Oh boy I’m gonna get it for that jest.
I have to be deliberate with our budget because our new home is a bit more of a fixer-upper. We desired it to be this way, yet we still must cautiously budget every little thing, down to the cabinet knobs (I’m not kidding). My dear wife has an ambitious kitchen cabinet remodeling design plotted, but I have to remind her the sink for the bathroom she desires put in will set us back a pretty penny, too.
Thankfully, we both like the organic, rustic look, so we are furnishing our new home with furniture which is unfinished. Yes, it still needs some polishing off, but we can keep the expenses down and create higher quality furniture than we might find in any store.
I recently came across a good table for coffee with some nice, natural knotting and a sideboard table in matching cherry wood. For our outdoor patio we are researching outdoor fireplaces and we’ll go with some inexpensive wicker furnitures initially.
Providing for a brand new house may appear so adult, but I can’t help but sense I’m merely playing house. The exercise equipment and furniture merely feel as a new era of toys.
