We have been wanting to get a house for years, and I think our opportunity has arrived.
Lawrence has been living in this same apartment for almost 14 years, and I have been here just over 9 years. Let's not forget Rusty McNose, the Alpha Dog and supreme leader of this household ever since he was a puppy. We both gladly bend to his every want and desire. It's puppy law.
We won't bore you with our past, including where we have lived before and how we got to this point in our lives. Everyone has been there...moving around from place to place.
We have had the amazing opportunity to live relatively cheaply for the past 9 and 14 years since Lawrence works in the leasing office of the apartment complex we live in, thereby we receive free rent, electric, cable TV and water as part of his compensation. A sweet deal. Now, we have to change our mindset as we approach home ownership. There will be bills to pay every month. Lots of them. Something we're not used to, but better learn quick. No more runs to the electronics store to pick up the latest new toy. No more extended vacations. No more (maybe just less) runs to the casinos. Nope, we stay here and put everything we make towards the new house. It's what we've been wanting, and now's the time to dive in head first.
