After almost 9 years of renting an apartment I have finally made the plunge and bought a home. I decided to get serious about it when I started to think about how much money of the years I’ve spent in rent (I don’t recommend sitting down and doing this unless you are ready to go into a crazy amount of debt with a mortgage :) ). So far we are really enjoying the place. Also, I’ve come to find that Lowes is my new favorite store whether I want it to be or not.

Tennessee just passed a law banning smoking in public places. WOOHOOO!! Unfortunately, the ban does have a few exceptions including bars and other establishments that restrict the age of those who can enter. On the other hand all restaurants do have to comply with the ban so we will now be able to go out and enjoy a nice dinner with out being bombarded by a cloud of smoke from across the room.

Ok, so I’m still not an expert at it, but I have definitely learned a lot in the past year.
