Making of 'our' home

It's been almost two years after our wedding and now we are far more comfortable with each other. People keep on asking "What do you enjoy doing together most?". I always try to think about the answer but I'm often confused about it..
But since last few days, I think I now know the answer. Since last one year or so we've been house hunting. When we started the process, we were not clear about our requirements. We just randomly went on a house hunting spree and were shocked with what we actually wanted and what we got to see. Slowly, we started to understand what exactly we want. Then we followed a particular procedure and started shortlisting the properties. After this, the process was pretty smooth. In the meantime, we changed the city(from our very own Pune to Bangalore) so it all had to be started from scratch again.
With new city came new people and new experiences. We were adjusting to the new life here and simultaneously the thought of having our own Abode was now going very strong in our mind. But then it was not so easy. We had to start again from scratch. From shortlisting the areas to deciding the budget everything was done again. With a metro like Bangalore we had to take risks and be flexible with our capabilities. This city is expensive in it's own ways. But then, we were determined. We started the house hunting spree again. We had brain storming sessions and overnight discussions. We divided the work and individually visited some properties. This was the best decision we made. We learnt so much when we went individually. We learnt to go into minute details and that helped a lot to make the final decision.
It was a warm February morning and we decided to visit some projects on haralur road together. We visited two projects with property consultants but then did not really like them. We felt something was missing. After two hours we were really hungry and told the consultant that we would have lunch and after that we would visit the next project. After having lunch we were following the property consultant and in the mean time we noticed a project, which we were looking forward to. We decided to visit that first. We went inside. The manager took us around. We visited the actual flat where we immediately thought that this is what we are looking for. Both of us had the same opinion and we went home thinking about it.
After the visit everything happened very fast. We visited the site again the other day and were completely convinced about what we were thinking. And then we made the decision, this is it. We gave them our consent. Everything else after that went on smooth. In a way it was beyond our imagination that we would take such a decision. It strengthened our belief in ourselves. It made us believe in what we really can do. It was the happiest moment of our married life. We were doing something awesome together. We were building our 'home' together.
My father always taught me to take calculated risks in life. Now my husband has given me the joy of building my own Abode in a metro like Bangalore. With all our hardwork of last few years we are able to buy a spacious two bedroom apartment in a good locality in Bangalore without anybody's help. I am very proud to say that we took our own time for it but we finally did it. We did it completely on our own.  And now we can proudly say,
"Welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Kane's home"(obviously after we get the possession). Thank you my dear husband for this awesome anniversary gift in advance and thank you for making me realise how beautiful is to do such things together 😊
