Congratulations. And if you think you spent a lot of money now, wait till you see what happens to your monthly bills. Not to mention your weekends.

  Heh! Yeah, I'm quite unexcited about seeing my new utility bills. I know we're in for a change in lifestyle! As for losing time... I don't mind. I've been living in an apartment for years, and we weren't really allowed to do anything to improve the place. I don't mind the idea of doing some real work to make our home better. After all, if and when we decide to sell it, all that money and labor will pay off. To think that I threw away almost $43,000 on rent since college... it's sort of disgusting.
