Thoughts on Home Ownership
It's official, we're homeowners! Well, okay, we signed a bunch of papers and now the bank owns a new house anyway :) Planning to move tomorrow, unless it's pouring down rain, which might postpone things a wee bit. We'd love it if you wanted to help. We're hoping to get started around 9 from the apartment on Broadway, and just need help hauling boxes up and down.
Our friend Dave offered some great perspective on this new experience:
"You can't think of it as the bank owning the house and you owning the mortgage... You must think of it as YOU owning the house, and the mortgage owning you." HA!

Congrats! You certainly worked hard and long enough to enjoy the benefits of home ownership.
Oh - the house will own YOU as well. Ask any current homeowner - yardwork, repairs, shoveling, etc...
Happy for you! And Carrie - don't you have a birthday coming up very soon?

Happy Birthday Carrie!
It was so nice to see you both on Sunday. Hope you are beginning to get settled in the new home and it will seem like home real soon! It is a great house and the two of you will make it "home". Love you both. I will get out my paint brush and see you in a couple weeks!
Grandpa & Grandma, Aunt Martha & Aunt Marian all send their best wishes for your birthday too! We are heading to "Little Nashville" this morning and to get some culture at "Mamma Mia" this evening! Love you,
Mom
