Soon to be homeowner!

In just over a month I will be joining the ranks of those who are referred to as homeowners.

It is quite an exciting time; mostly due to the fact that I didn't think I would want to be 'stuck' in a single location, especially this location, in a million years. I suppose the dreary overcast summers, the skin eating cold winters, and the utter lack of my favorite seasons - spring and fall - has finally sucked my willpower to nothing.

Then again, I will be living less than two miles from one of my favorite places. I will be under two minutes from Lost Lake, Lake Michigan, the Block House, and amazing tranquility. I will gladly trade the screaming, yelling, and pounding of neighbors for the inconvenience of deer and rabbits constantly eating my plants; or trade the cost of running the AC all day because I am too afraid to leave the doors and windows open due to break-ins for the cost of feeding legions of beautiful song birds; or give up the fear of walking to my car to see that the windows were smashed in for keeping a well mowed lawn, a freshly shoveled driveway, and a full house of clean windows.

I sure am giving up a lot. Granted, and shockingly so, my current apartment is the only one that I have lived in where I never called the police for one reason or another. I will have to kiss the love of watching the cops show up at a neighbors door for being morons goodbye.

I will be posting pics as soon as I can get them. Each time I have been there I have forgotten to bring a camera with me. That and Zack and Mel still have my pocket camera!

Till then, adios!
