I'm home

I bought a house. As of this past week, I am a home owner. A lot of things happened that I wish hadn't, but I think that is par for anyone's life.

The house itself needs a good bit of work, and I guess my bank account will hemorrhage into it for the remainder of my time there. It has been both fun and infuriating moving and doing the needed repairs to make it livable. Infuriating when it takes way more time, effort, and cash to make it happen and fun when it comes together and is done.

I have a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house just outside of city limits on 4 acres of land. I never realized how big 1600 sq ft was until I was there.

It's going to be tough for awhile. I've never been 100% on my own and it's a little scary and fun at the same time. There is very little room for error and many things that must be planned wisely for this to be a success.

I guess I feel grown up now. I certainly feel tired.

I have a new goal. I want to pay my house off as quickly as possible. No, I don't know how, but I'll keep my eyes open and my ears sharp.
