It's Time We Buy a House?

 Hello Blogger!

On tonight's episode of, "Soph should be sleeping, but instead, she is boiling in hot bath water that feels like it should definitely cause third degree burns and writing a blog entry,"--yikes--the "Should We Buy a House" edition.

We (the husband and I) have grown up enough--at last--to realize that maybe it is time we stop touring the entire USA and settle in one place. It would be good for us to find our forever home. Or maybe the husband is just tired of moving and all the expenses that come with it; or maybe he's tired of redoing home decor every single year. Who knows? Do I and will I ever tire of moving? Probably not. But I agree that we do need our "babe, we can't move out of state because we quite literally just bought a house and there is not a lease on it" type of motivation to stop scrolling Zillow in hopes of finding something better. LOL.

We do know we want to stay in NC. As complicated as this state is--why are there so many highways?! You quite literally exit a highway while simultaneously entering another one, which will likely lead to another. HELP.--it is the perfect location.

Highways aside, this state is the right one for us. Within driving distance to Florida (HELLO Miami cruises, Disney World, Legoland, and Universal), Georgia and New York (because child model/actor mom here and the industry has got to learn about providing "ample" advance notice for booked work), and only a short drive away from our favorite cabins in Tennessee. Sure, the food is less than desirable here--thankful for Pinterest and my ability to follow instructions to a t,-- and it isn't as affordable as it used to be, but I can't imagine moving back to Florida ever again as I contemplated last year. Vacations? YES. Living there? Over my unalived (yes, I am using that) body. Since the eldest Chung daughter has well-established connections here, I would certainly not consider moving to an entirely different state. So, we'll likely be NC-inians for life. 

Now to find the perfect location (I would prefer closer to CLT over GSO or Raleigh (big nope)), but none of the surrounding towns feel small enough for me. Big city life (as in parallel parking + overcrowded businesses + traffic) is not for me. I want to be able to go to my favorite store or cafe without having to embarrass myself attempting to parallel park in front of curious eyes. Two more years in this rental, and we say sayounara to renting for good).

Here I am, I guess?

 Found my way back to blogger after—what?—a decade? Yikes, I am an old one. And hopefully, I’m still good with technology. Hello blogger world, I’m Sophia. I might be the Sophia you know, but probably not. I am here to dump my ADHD brain rot and will most likely be writing when my brain is most active—the infamous I should definitely be sleeping hours, A/K/A 1-3 am. I am definitely missing out on the beauty sleep. But hey, at least my brain will have less thought to dump on my pillow at night, right?  I will probably flood this blog will cell pictures that I dare not delete off my phone—which is why I’ve got a gazillion phones, by the way. Cloud storage definitely isn’t my thing. Once it’s full, bring in a new one. At this point, it’s a tradition!  Anyway, that is all I’ve got for my first post. I will likely make another immediately following this, or I might just take a shower. Who knows? X Soph — but definitely not your Soph 🤌🏻
