Just as my husband and I did 17 years earlier, the Petersiks bought a house, soon after got married at the house, then began taking the place apart while starting a family. The flashbacks were so strong, I got whiplash. When I talked recently with Sherry Petersik - who, with her husband, John, writes a popular blog, Young House Love, and has a book also titled “Young House Love” (Artisan Books) - it took me back. I now possess wiser hope, tempered passion and a bag of combat stories from both fronts so large it would take a case of good scotch and a patient listener to get through them all. Though it’s been a while, I have experienced both. Young love is a state unto itself - full of starry-eyed possibilities, idealism, passion and a hefty dose of delusion.
