The New House

For those of you that haven’t heard yet, I am now officially a new home owner.  Yep, finally going to start making some equity and have also created the ultimate money pit.  Bring on the yard work, the painting, the sanding, etc.  It’s definitely going to take a dent out of my weekend for the next couple months.

For someone who really enjoys having “me time” this is really going to be an adjustment.  It’s all still surreal.  I don’t think it will truly sink in until I’m all moved in to the place.  But there’s still plenty of work to do before that happens.  So far two weekends of work down, and 3 more to go.

In the end, though, it’ll be a good decision, a good investment, and time well spent.  Despite the 20-45 minute commute to work (depending on traffic), I’m not going to have to worry about wall neighbors, noise complaints (unless it’s an awesome party), or moving every year or so.  Best of all - I will be living with the woman I’m going to spend the rest of my life with.  Let the perks begin!!
