We’re buying a house! Ten years of marriage and we’re finally buying a house.<\/p>\n

It’s a tiny little thing at 800 sq ft. The yard is about 3500 sq ft. The house has a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. It also has an unfinished basement, so the potential for other rooms also exists. The garage is too small for our Windstar, but that means I will finally have a workshop.<\/p>\n

One of the exciting things is that there is a lot of potential for improvements to the property. As well, it looks like we will be saving roughly 200 dollars on housing and utility costs with this move. This move will also mean I won’t have to transfer buses to get to work anymore.<\/p>\n

We are very excited about this new stage in our life together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
