Dear Copper,

WE ARE OFFICIALLY HOMEOWNERS!!! As of 10 am this morning after signing our final paperwork and being handed over the keys to the house, we finally have our own place to call home! On our way to get the cashiers check, we passed a homeless man on the street collecting change by the stoplight. You waved him over, got out your wallet and passed him a few dollars from inside. He smiled in return and thanked you for the help. In your words, with us on our way to get a house, it was good karma to pay it forward. This is why I absolutely love you and can't wait to not only live with you, but also be your wife.

Also, we both apparently have really good taste in couches and beds, since we seemed to agree on almost every piece of furniture in the stores we saw. Despite feeling stressed or overwhelmed while shopping, it was fun getting to lay on all the different mattresses and gawk at all of the gaudy furnishings together that we saw in the stores (wooden horse head, anyone?). It made me really feel like an old (well, soon-to-be) married couple.

Love,
Fox
