This weekend was relievingly work-free, so Katie and I spent a good portion of time yesterday tending our front and side yards.<\/p>\n
Today, we both helped make a delicious meatloaf dinner.<\/p>\n
Overall, it feels really good to be homeowners. Our roof’s insulation is fantastic – we have not felt any of this year’s hot days while inside our house.<\/p>\n
And it’s great to know that the money that leaves our bank account each month goes toward something we own, instead of making money for a faceless landlord or rental agency. Even I’d mortgage rates have fallen since we locked down our loan.<\/p>\n
Also, it’s fantastic to be able to accidentally create a hole in your wall and have it be no big deal.<\/p>\n
