Wishing for Daisy Halos - Pride Preceedeth the Fall

Daisyhalos- livejournal:

I'm so happy. Things in my life are great right now. And although I'm trying not to be, I'm just prideful.
I received some money for my birthday from Chris' parents, so I bought myself a kitten! MAN,,, I LOVE HIM!! He's playful and funny and loves to cuddle and Extremely tolerant of LL's constant annoyity! We named him Teetoe, or Tido, or Teeto or whatever-- (comments an suggestions for name spelling very much appreciated) because that's something that LL can say-- she picked the name, actually. He's just a short haired domestic tabby, but he's mine. and he's cute.
You know, the reason I'm writing this next thing is because I'd never write it in my personal journal.. A blog is where I can just write what I want. So imperfect as I am, don't judge me because of this.
Whoever said money can't buy you happiness was missing something very important. Money CAN'T buy you happiness *IF* you're not happy in your relationships. Because, I tell ya, money sure makes things a heck of a lot easier.
My relationships right now are good, so I think.
Chris' new job is paying more than 2wice what he was making before, and I got a bit of a raise so that's really helping too. His parents also gave us a gift of a sum of money that has 6 digits. So, we're moving into a house that we have been keeping our eyes on. I'm so excited. It was a gift that left me speechless, obviously, but they said they wanted us to be able to do that for our children and make them have things they may not be able to otherwise get... like this house. It's going to have a yard-- something growing more and more important to me as my kids age, it's going to have a garage-- which we'll REALLY appreciate on those cold Calgary mornings in January. It's going to have enough bedrooms for any children AND guests. It's going to have an ensuite-- all the things that we'd LOVE to have, but didn't think we were going to get for a long time.
I know, I'm spoiled. I know.
But really, it's not like we ASKED for it, they just gave it to us. We could just pay off our current mortgage, but then I'd still be in a house with no yard and no fireplace. Stupid things, but things I want.
Want.
That's such a horrid, greedy word. And one part of me feels so greedy, the other feels "I-don't-care-ish", because I know I'll be in a better area of town, I'll be SAVING money in the long run because of travel and stuff, and I'll be giving my kids things I think are important.
Am I horrible? I'm so afraid to tell anyone about this because I don't want people to look at me and say, What a rude little girl. You know?
So, there's a lot going on that's exciting, but I feel like I have to keep it a secret so that I'm not looked at differently. *so don't tell anyone*
Yah. My kitten is so darn cute!
