Here is a really good, happy thing...

We have been approved for a mortgage to build a house starting in a few months and we actually saw the exact house we are going to build yesterday!!! I'm not sure anything can beat that. We are really excited and looking forward to new changes.

We attended the Robert Munch reading at the high school and it was really good.

Watching Grey's with Susanne was awesome.

A quick dinner of nachos and then actually in bed by 9pm. This whole week I've been trying to get to bed by 9:30/10 but it hasn't happened at all. Last night was better and I made my goal.

Can someone please....

Can someone please explain this to me because I feel so confused about it. Why is it important to have a house of your own? Here's my "rant". I know that we have been told to work towards home ownership, but why? If we can never afford a house will that make us bad people or will that deny us things in the after life? My thoughts right now are that why would I get myself into a mortgage that might take years and years to pay off. I believe that having a mortgage is an allowable debt but what if we don't want to buy a house? What if we want to just rent for the rest of our lives? Is that bad? Are we bad for having that attitude? We are so close to being out of debt right now that I just don't see why we would get ourselves into a mortgage. To me, that's more debt that we will have to pay off. It's really frustrating for me right now. I am perfectly happy to rent but then other day's, I wish we had our own place. But for what? What is the purpose to owning your own home? Do I not get the same things out of renting? I have a garden of my own, we do our own yard work, we can beautify our place how we like. Isn't that the same as having your own place?

On another note, I had a very busy day making bread and buns and cinnamon rolls. I am feeling quite tired. It's good to work and do things like making bread and all that fun stuff. I love homemade bread. It's sooooo yummy.

Okay, well, I don't think that I have anything else to write. I think that's it for now.
