Eventually we will own a place that has land. This has a nice big back yard but it backs up to a pond and it rains a bunch it floods part of the yard (so of course we are going to build that area up so it doesn't flood as easy).

We have all the appliances but I guess these people were midget old folks because I am taller than the fridge. They left the washer and dryer but one of them doesn't work (easy fix probably something my grandpaw can fix and we won't lose any money) We don't want to buy anything new yet since we won't be living there. We have a washer and dryer here.

We plan on buying/building a shed but then again my grandpaw is right up the hill and he has a shed that is almost the same size of his house (he tried to convince us to move into his house and he would move in to his shed...thats how HUGE it is )

[Kala]

sounds like a good idea to me Tate!


So I just got off the phone with my grandpa [he and my grandma are divorced] and we were talking about buying a house. He was basically like go for it. I will go with you guys and look at the things that should be looked at. He is the king of flipping houses. He has probably bought about 15+ houses in his lifetime. He made me feel good again about our decision and what not. I think my other family members just worry a little too much and try to control everything that we do.

[Tate]

Yeah I know how you feel. I've lived in 6 houses growing up from moving in flipping and moving on to the next one then there were some we flipped that we don't live in my parents also have rental properties as well. I have a lot more faith in my parents advice than my in-laws..while I love them I don't think we are "to young" to own a house...John hasn't even told his mom that they accepted our offer. She is just SO negative and gets John all negative and down.

My grandpa went with us to the houses to look too! He knows when things seem "off" or if something is broken if its "fixable" or not worth the time. It helps that my mom was a real estate agent..she knows what things "cost" and how things work. I'm confident that we can afford $500 in mortgage when we pay $800 right now.

[Jeannette]

I want an old cheap house that I can flip...but I wanna live in it.

I need a fixer upper. And old house with CHARACTER!

[Kala]

yeah, that is exactly how I feel!! Our rent is $900 plus utilities. We aren't stupid with our money as it is and we have plenty saved up. I just think that they feel since he's 22 and I'm 20[almost] that we blow our money and haven't thought about our future. They never had anything like that at their age, so why should we?! GAHH.

[Jeannette]

Ah ya. My inlaws are similar. They don't think we understand what we're getting into.

Trust me...we don't have a brand spankin new car/truck and a big fancy gaming console for a reason. We're SAVING FOR BIGGER THINGS!!!

[Kala]

Exactly. We have his truck almost paid off, and my car is paid off. We have a few nice electronics, but nothing outrageous. We save save save. At least we have each other for support.

[Jeannette]

Yep. You guys will be more than fine. Since you're from Ohio, you already know the typical costs for bills...you'll be fine.

[Tate]

Ha...we do have a Jeep we are paying on..but we aren't in over our head. I think the mother in law's problem is that she didn't have anything like that at her age...and she doesn't think we can have something like that at our age. But whatever.

[Jeannette]

This is MY MIL's problem. I sometimes feel like she doesn't have faith in us that we can handle it.

[Jeannette]

And I'm laughing out loud about Liz.

[Kala]

Yeah, that's how my gram and mom feel.

[Kala]

funny random moment - - - I'm sitting on the sofa listening to Sibel snore [ its more of a snorting sound ]

[Tate]

Aw Missy snores some times...she breaths loud all the time...but she does snore sometimes especially if shes had "such a hard day"

yeah Liz didn't think we were to funny Jeannette!

[Jeannette]

Both my dogs snore. It's hysterical. I'll get up from my bed and go..."What the hell is that noise?" On the loveseat is Lady, the couch is Gunny.

-----

With Liz....I had to.

[Tate]

I can't believe she didn't say anything (Liz I can't believe you didn't give those Army recruiters a ear full!)

[Kala]

I thought ya'll were funny Maybe she didn't see it.

[Jeannette]

She probably signed off too soon. Liz and all her busy-ness. Too busy nowadays.

JK...I love you and MISS YOUUUUU.

[Tate]

I know...its so lonely without Liz lately.

[Kala]

It really is.
&& Tammy & Melissa have been mia too.

[Jeannette]

I know. Where are they?!

And Angie?!

I want to know about her pregnancy!

[Tate]

They don't love us anymore

[Jeannette]

Apparently so...




Kidding. You guys can come back now!

[jnavywife]

A. Anyone who say's you're too young to buy a house is crazy. It's a freaking fantastic investment as long as you know you're budget.

B. Angie is in PA right now because her grandmother died. She got there just before she passed though and got to say goodbye. She will be back on Sunday.

C. I miss Tammy and Melissa too!

D. Jeannette - are we still going to the battleship on Saturday, you're ignoring my text!

E. I am running my final PRT tonight with the DEP kids at the enlisted recruiting station here, hehe. I can't wait to run it with the kiddos. Gosh, I am so old!

[Jeannette]

Yes we can go Saturday!

I made plans to be down in Jax on Sunday...I'm hoping I can switch them to Saturday so I don't have to go twice. (MRS OE from here had her baby).

You're not old!
