Home SWEET Home

I have some BIG news... drum-roll please...

I am a homeowner!!

Me and D have just purchased our first home in a lovely, quaint and small town.

At first I was very hesitant on moving to such a small place, never having lived anywhere very small ever it seemed like it might be a big transition to make and being 40 minutes from our family and friends was a bit of a daunting thought but here I am two weeks into the small town life and I love it!

It is so lovely here and despite the mountains being my favorite place to be I am quite content in this prairie town.

You can hear the cows 'Moo' from the fields throughout the day which has become as equivocal as the sound of sirens back home. I doubt I've ever slept in such silence (except for camping) and I definitely have never felt so safe. There is such a feeling of community here and although I've only yet met our neighbour I'm confident that we will make some great friends too.

Also, because it was something I always spoke (complained) about before I have to state that I finally feel at home. 

This house is our home and I don't think there is a greater feeling than knowing you have somewhere to call yours... okay there are greater feelings but it is pretty awesome!

Me and D have already made our plans for future renovations and redecorating and it's so much fun to know you can actually do what you want and nobody else can say otherwise.

Another perk of buying outside the city is our mortgage is so much less than it would have been there, we can afford to LIVE, to do what we want and enjoy the things we normally do without worrying about our budget.

I highly recommend it to anyone stuck in the rat race wanting to get out!

I have to sign off now as I am currently in the process of stealing internet connection and I'm afraid I will be caught and the whole town will hate me... or at least my neighbour.
