House

As a kid, didn't we learn the only thing you needed to build a house was to have all three properties in one color and then the banker would hand you your prized little red houses? Thanks monopoly for throwing off another life lesson. I am still bitter there is no real "Free Parking" out there.

It's funny how buying a house that is not built yet gives you countless hours of mental diversion. Niether Tiff nor I profess to be very patient people, so having made the biggest purchase of our lives and having nothing but a sign and a lot of paper work can be unnerving at times. At other moments, it's as exciting as lottery ticket fantasies. All in all, it feels good but odd. We both miss Chicago considerably, but feel very good about our investment towards Colorado. I just wish they would break ground soon. It will feel good to see our plot of dirt begin to transform.
