The joys of living in a house

So I didn't really tell you what we are doing.   we had intended to buy a home of our own but thing just didn't fall into place.  So we knew we needed to get out for managing the apartments, which I still have not been replaced.  So I just told Owen lets not settle on a condo.  We know we wanted to live in a house and have a yard and garden and not have to pay HOA fees... So we decided to rent a little house and get into a routine.  A routine of paying rent and budgeting.  We seem to be doing a good job.  Don't really miss the rent money because I think it is worth every cent I pay for my peace and quite.  I am a happier person.  

Work is going well and I will begin to make more money.  Another reason to wait to buy. I wanted to be more financially stable.  Plus the market is a bit scary.  

Here is my list of joys:

• No one knocking on my door needing me to fix something, complaining, or telling me they just don't have rent.
• No phone calls in the middle of the night.
• No floods to deal with.
• No laundry room to clean up after 30 people exploded!
• No more strangers in my house.
• No more bank runs.
• No more cigarette butts!
• No more baby sitting grown adults.
  

What does that mean?  Freedom!
