The moment I knew ...


I am going backwards a bit in the timeline of how all this happened, but I found this email and think  it says a lot about my inner state in the moments leading to the decision to buy the clocktower house.

An excerpt from the email I sent to Joe to break the news:

Subject: My day

It's been a very good day!
I have spent the last few hours at the clock tower house alone. I took video and pics, thought about the types of changes I might make if it were mine. I opened all the shutters to let in the sun and got a broom to sweep the pigeon droppings off the stoop. I measured the couches for slip covers and mentally rearranged the furniture to open up the living room. I sat in the kitchen and had a glass of wine. I read a magazine. Now I'm thinking I have done everything I need to do here, except there's one big problem....
I don't want to leave. 
I am sitting on the couch just crying. Happy tears! I found my house! Thank you in advance. I love you!
I will figure out the rest.
