I had a nice talk with the roommate the other day, and we agreed that we’re both just watching the calendar, itching to get out of our lease. Our lease isn’t up until January but we both want to move bad. It’s not that we hate each other, it’s that we both want to live with our guys. I’m excited at the prospect, and also the possibility of saving money on rent. Rent is such a huge expense, and such a waste. I can’t wait until I can finally buy a place. The plan is to move someplace cheap, hopefully not too ugly, and save as much as we can, and then buy a house when the time (and income) is right. I blog about it so much, my dreams of owning a home. Just the idea of having a yard again, with cute patio furniture covers and maybe a hammock. I want to try my hand at gardening too. I think it would be really cool to grow my own vegetables instead of having to buy produce at the store. Homegrown lettuce tastes a million times better, and it doesn’t go bad as fast.
But alas, we are still stuck in the lease for now. We’re going to try to convince the landlord to let us leave a month or two early, and let them rent out our place at the new higher price. I think they’ll let us out of the lease since it means more money in their greedy little pockets. So Dyl and I have started scrimping and saving for the move out/move in costs. It’s spendy bouncing around from place to place. I can’t wait for that day when I can finally call my home MY home and have that be true for more than a year.
