For my 44th birthday, I told Kelly, I wanted a house. I am typing this on my 44th birthday.

When we first saw the listing, we laughed at the green color and almost wrote the house off. But after seeing it in person, we were sold. I took this photo on the way out, after getting a tour of the place. It was the only shot I took, but even before knowing whether we would end up getting the house, I had bought this domain – kermithouse.com.

From the get-go, it seemed like this house was meant to be ours…
