House Anniversary
Today is a day of introspection for me. One year ago this
weekend, we became homeowners. For the most part,
it's been a pretty good year. Money's been more than a
little tight, that's for sure, and things haven't been
completely perfect, but we're getting there.
Things are good, don't get me wrong, but I wish there was
a bit more money at the end of the month. I have to keep
reminding myself that w'ere investing the money we used
to have available into equity in the house. In a few years,
it will all pay off.
There used to be a time when we'd dream about owning
a house. Now we dream about changes we want to make
to the house we own.
When things would break, we'd call the landlord. Now
when things break, we call the repairman. But even then,
it's nice to have the freedom to make the decisions on who
and what and when. The only repair we've had all year is
the a/c needed freon. That's not bad for a four year old house.
We need to find a person who knows something about
carpentry to fix a door we repaired, but I have to admit we
didn't do as good a job as a carpenter would.
We're now stuck doing yardwork and we're trying to find a used
lawn tractor, we may go to an auction in Suffolk (about an hour
and a half southeast from us) or we just may see what we can
find here in our area. Either way, I'm sure it will be an adventure.
Lots of things have changed, lots have stayed this same. Good
things have happened, some that are not so good, but through it
all, we've been together and we've weathered all the storms of the
past year with humor and trust.
If it hadn't been for my love, I doubt very seriously I'd have the
house I dreamed about for years. I doubt I'd be as happy as I am
and I really doubt I'd have found the wonderful friends I have now
and the special friend I re-found.
In short... happy one year anniversary to the MouseHouse!
