    I bought my first house this morning. We've been living in a small apartment for nearly 12 years, and I am ready to get out of there. We'll be moving into a 1600 square foot home on a little more than an acre. I'm just almost speachless. Almost. :)

    Nice Mobow, nice! Congrats! I purchased my first home last August and it's been great so far. I'm jealous of the 1 acre lot! Plenty of room to fling some arrows around fo' sho'.

    Well done my friend. :tu:

    Congrats on the purchase. that's a big step for anyone. I am still waiting for the day I can afford to sell my house in the city and move out to a place in the country.

    Congratulations, too bad you didn't sign in time to get some of that O'Samma money.
    I'm on my 3rd home in as many states. Looking for one more but I think I'm too old now to commit and besides, too much yard work. If I do move it will be to a 55 and older place where they take care of everything. Congrats again

    Congrats, nothing like walking outside with a beer in your hand while manning the grill of your first house! Now hurry up and get moved in so you can get to the GTG.
