It's official after 9+ years of marriage we are finally home owners!  I've been a little nervous about the prospect, but today I'm nothing but excited.  I can finally do what I want with my home and yard without asking permission.  And for once I can imagine living one place for a long, long time.  I told Gary he'd better retire from Duda, because I'm not moving again.  The house needs some work, and lots of love, it's been neglected over the last few years, but I can see it being really great.   It's so nice to have a home that is OURS!
