I want to buy a house so bad, it drives me crazy. I was just about to let my fingers fly into a rant of babbles, but I just stopped myself. Here are some bullet points:
Rent is theft. Seriously. I am literally throwing 375 dollars of my hard earned money into thin air every single month. I am rewarding my landlord for owning property. I love our place, but seriously? Its so stupid.
I am almost positive that homes here will always be expensive. But right now, they aren't that bad. Compared to what is happening in the Inland Empire in CA and in parts of AZ, they are ridiculous. But still. What a great time to buy a home.
Landscape. I go in spurts of passion and apathy. I LOVE my garden so much. It is so discouraging, too. I would love to go out there and put a lot of sweat into it and make is more appealing to the eye and landscape the food I am growing. But the output of energy required to take on such a task is not worth the gain.
Nolan and I have recently hit a really healthy breaking point for how we live in the space that we have. I always have the motivation and ideas to get things done as far as cleaning and decorating. We have always clashed in ideas and motivation, to say the least. It made for a really frusterating living space. At this house he told me to run with it and do whatever I wanted and that he trusted me to take into account what he likes and dislikes, and this is the first time our room has been put together in a way that we both LOVE. That being said, I want to run hog wild and decorate a house. That I own. And make it a comfortable Amy and Nolan welcoming space. Alas, putting money and that kind of effort into a rental is stupid, especially when there are housemates involved. Its not just mine and Nolan's place.
Which leads me to a tangent I don't know if I have touched on yet:
I am so excited for the day to come when Nolan and I have our own place, even if it is an apartment. It will be a completely new change for us. We have never lived in a sitation where it was just the two of us, unless we have been travelling (which doesnt count at all). While living with people does have its advantages, I just really really am looking forward to that change.
That is all:)

It's so interesting to know your thoughts:) I do hope you will find a place of your own soon. Maybe when you leave for Cambodia you can give up your place and not pay rent while you're gone. Then when you come back find a place for the two of you. Good idea, huh?
