Being A Homeowner

The best part (for me) about being a homeowner is that you can change things up whenever the heck you want. The last five years we rented, and I always felt like we couldn't make the place our own. Like we'd get in trouble or scolded by the landlord (which I'm sure wouldn't have happened because she was awesome, but it was always in the back of my mind). We just felt stuck and never really tackled anything.

Now that this cute bungalow is ours, any improvement, even the slightest, makes me giddy. So silly but true. This wasn't a dramatic change, but by clearing out the clutter in a corner and rearranging a few things, it now feels so roomy. Hey, simple things make me happy. Now maybe one day she'll actually sleep in that bed and make me even more happy.
