Well, I waited till very late in life to actually purchase my own home. I moved around the country a bit. While I feel I did the right thing by waiting, I also feel that the purchase of my house – the RIGHT house for me (and my sweet little dirtbag) – has been amongst the most rewarding of all my life’s experiences. I have a direction in a life once aimless. I have roots where once I was a nomad.

It’s not perfect, it’s not the most beautiful, but my home is my heart and soul. My family is secure here as is my future.
