i like to think of myself as a strong person.
i am no weakling.
i'm not afraid of a hard days work.
in fact i love crawling into bed,
the sound of the dishwasher humming,
the drier warming the last load...
you get the point.
i also like to think of myself as content.
not big on change. 
at all.
but something happened to me the other day.
i saw this house.
i find myself laying in bed at night,
dreaming of the floor plan. 
fantasizing  about myself decorating 
this little beauty.
i'm by no means announcing a move.
its a pipe dream.
but someday i want to build a house.
this house.
so tonight instead of dreaming of this house
i shall be chanting my new mantra...
"thou shalt not covet."
i am weak.
not as strong as i thought.
oh well.

I know exactly where that house is in Bountiful. It's amazing. I'm with you on the coveting thing... Wish I could see the inside of it. I'm sure the owners have amazing taste.
