Baby’s First Home.

January 7th, 2008 § 8 comments

Man. 2008 is already going side­ways, in a good way. In this case — I knew it was com­ing, which is a good thing. Last Fri­day, I spent a chunk of time sign­ing more paper­work than I’ve ever had to in my life, but walked away with the keys to my very own home.

Other peo­ple have goals like “punch a camel” or “jump off a bridge” — one of my long­stand­ing goals has been to “sim­ply” get a house. Some­thing is rather off-putting about pay­ing some­one else’s salary/mortgage and rais­ing a child whilst renting.

Munchkin will now have her own large yard in which to run, although my idea of putting a run­ning line up and get­ting her a har­ness so we could just let her run back and forth were sum­mar­ily dismissed.

I’ve already bought paint, been to Lowes a few times, and bought myself actual tools for “work­ing around the house”. Once the next month of “omg gogogogo” wears off, all should be happy.

If you really want to see pic­tures, I put some up.

Now, to jug­gle the out­stand­ing python stuff, a tight work sched­ule, a six month old and moving.

    As my thir­teen year old put it:

    Own­ing a home has its highs and has its Lowes.

    That’s awful

    Jesse —

    Con­grats.

    And as a sort of new dad (14 month old), some advice: while you have a chance — babyproof, babyproof, babyproof and more babyproof.

    The pre­vi­ous own­ers already did it for us :)
