So Jaron and I bought a house. Again. I know, we talked and talked about what a relief it was to no longer be home-owers, how much freedom we gained. And it was true. We came down to Nashville, put our heart and wallet into a record, each got a job (Jaron’s, Katherine’s) that has been wonderful to us, and lived in a (mostly) care-free apartment.
So what could possess us to purchase another home? To sink years of money and time into merely a place of residence? We have no idea.
Actually, we have loved our decision so far. We were able to find a smallish foreclosed home, absolutely within our budget, in a very quiet neighborhood, still close to the city and the community where we’ve fit so well here in East Nashville. It even has a broad-leaf evergreen in the yard, which was on the wishlist. Here are a few shots of what we’re dealing with. There is quite a bit of work behind us, and much more ahead. Just how we like it.
