  Warts and all.

  

  Here are my wife and I in front of the house. The yard's been dug up recently, so that's why it looks like garbage. It'll get better from here, but I need to do quite a bit of work to make that a reality.

  Signing our lives away

  We closed on the house today. There're many things to do, but we're pretty excited. I'll try to snap some pictures of the place so that there's a history as we make changes and so you can live vicariously if that's your thing. At ~1440 sq. ft it's not that big of a home, but we are just two people for now and couldn't reasonably afford too much more in the area that we liked. I probably won't be buying too many games for a while until I get a handle on the new budget. Seeing the amortization schedule stretching out to September 2038 was pretty sobering, and I'm going to try to cut that down as much as possible by paying down the note faster.

  Our Newest Homeowners

  We went under contract on the Fourth. We close in early August and are both very excited and busy preparing. I can't wait to rip the deck off of the back of the house and replace it with a patio, as well as make a few other modifications, like built-in shelves big enough to handle a few thousand video games.
