Alrighty Then

I just did some fiddling with my template. I like my categories. The only problem is, I have nothing in them. For the most part. Oh well. I guess you can look at my sidebar and share some vision of my dream...5+ acres, some goats, rabbits and chickens. Some fruit trees and a vegetable garden. Ooh. And honeybees... We were planning on moving next summer and have started looking at properties in the area we wish to move to. We found like our perfect dream home...just a tad out of our price range (20 acres!) Then we thought...what's the rush? We don't have to move. We're doing okelie dokelie right where we're at, even if we are a bit cramped. But if we want to live like pioneers, cramped should be a plus, right? OK, I don't really want to get THAT simple. So we've modified our plan slightly. We're scrimping and saving and paying 2 1/2 times on our house than our actual mortgage payment. We should then have our house paid off in two years. And then we will have a NICE downpayment. Lord willing, of course. I can think of all kinds of reasons to just go for it...but I also know that God would not have us up to our eyeballs in debt, stressing over the little inconveniences of life. After all, we need to have SOME money left over to buy all the little critters! |
