I'm ready to get the house in shape for a new year and new begining.
I looked around for a new house. I've decided if I have to settle (and with my budget, I would have to settle) then I may as well settle here. I will continue to make this house mine. I like having freedom more than I like having an uppity house. I want the freedom from worry, the freedom to go on a vacation if I want, the freedom to go on adventures around here, the freedom to buy a truck and a kayak if I want, the freedom to be able to build a nest egg...the freedom to be able to buy frivolous things like a jacuzzi. I'm doing it.
