We have always wanted a home to call our own. Renting was ok, but it just wasn't ours. Well, we bought our home in 2007. We own it, no mortgage, no banks. In hindsight, paying for everything cash was not the best way to go, but in the current economic climate it is helping us immensely to get by.
Along with always wanting a home, I have always wanted our family immortalized in some way in the home. some way so that after we are gone, there will be evidence that we once lived here and called it home.
We had a sidewalk repaired yesterday, and it presented what I hope is that very opportunity.
You know you want to do it. No matter how old, you know you see that wet cement and you want to put your handprint in it. We did just that.
