So time for catch up blog. LOL
So much has happened since I last wrote a blog. I’m so
blessed by God, He amazes me!!!
Incredible to realize that we are 1 month into 2012 already
WOW!!!
So, I’ll start with we had great holidays and then I
promptly got really sick, still fighting this mess off. Like a really bad cold.
It’s a viral infection and just hangs on forever.
Lost my help at work and regained it quickly. The 2 weeks of
extra hours wasn’t too shabby. LOL. Especially with what I’ve gotten myself
into now. Hehe
So I looked around at houses for sale and rent, checked out
apartments and then unfinished cabins. I’m buying an unfinished cabin and
placing it on my parents property. It will be delivered end of February or
first of March and I’ll be ready to start on the inside. It’s 16x30 so it’ll be
a nice size and I’ll have a bedroom, bathroom in the back and the
kitchen/dining & Living area will be in the front part of it. I’m pretty
excited. The reason for my decision is it will be paid off in 3 years. A house
note would be around 30 years. If I get married, I can rent out my cabin. So
that is the plan.
Starting out I have 2 HUGE things to begin with, getting my
cabin and we have to have a new electric line put in. Could cost up to $1700,
just some pocket change right?? LOL. But Stephanie is in the Little House and
Teresa is getting her and Katy a cabin also. So we will all be pitching in and
so the cost of the pole won’t be so hard on just 1 person and we will all be splitting
the electric bill.
I’m excited. I’ve wanted my own place for a long time and
was too scared to actually step out and do it. This way I’m close to my family
and yet have my own space. It will look
like I want it to look and it may take me a couple years to finish it all out
but that is OK.
My plan is to get the bedroom area finished FAST. Walls and
ceiling up, electric ran and finished to that room, I have a window unit
already and get all that insulated. I can then move in and finish it out slowly
but surely. I want it to all be perfect yet just how I want it.
Now to just plan wisely to make the $$ stretch. LOL
