Homeownership

What I have learned in the last month from being a homeowner:

1.  My dog is now ALWAYS going to be dirty. That's right, always. Even right after his bath he went outside and came back in with dirty paws and weeds tangled up in his fur.

2.  Putting the vacuum plug in a "centralized" outlet, does NOT allow you to vacuum the whole floor without moving the plug.....bummer!

3.  You tend to watch TV less when it's not in the general living area. Mine and Shawn's TV watching has drastically decreased thanks to us having a downstairs.

4.  The washer only works when you have the water turned on.

5.  Along with number 4, the swamp cooler works better when it has water flowing to it (apparently I have a problem with water).

6.  Living in a neighborhood means that there are a ton of dogs around to "bark it up for no reason" all day/night long.

7.  In a house, when you are home alone, it surprisingly feels more lonely just because you can't hear muffled voices, banging on the walls, and all of that other apartment living perks.

8.  Weeds are now my arch enemy.

9.  Grass grows where you don't want it to, but won't grow where you want it to.

10. Being a homeowner makes you feel proud. That's right, I feel proud!!!

11. I can now say "our house" without Shawn getting annoyed because its was an apartment.

12. Home Depot is so fun to wonder around in when you can actually use the items on your house.

Last but not least......

13.  I LOVE BEING A HOMEOWNER!!!!
