You look fab and happy! The place looks nice...but what a drive that would be! Maybe something closer will come your way..have the real estate lady keep looking.

It is a pretty condo. Wow, Lonsdale! That is far. My friends lived in Montgomery, and it was quite the drive when I would go visit them when I lived in Burnsville or Mtka. It is pretty country, though. Depends on the kind of lifestyle you want. I know you have a tough decision on your hand. I know it was a tough decision for me and Matt when we bought our house. I didn't know that in less than 5 months, my husband would be without a job and then decide to go to college. It is a huge burden on my part trying to afford a mortgage because I know that if I get sick, we are late on our mortgage. Landlords are more understanding than a mortgage company. Sometimes I want to just sell the house and move back into an apartment.

There are "lots" of practical things to consider rather than going with what the heart wants or desires. An hour in the car may not seem like much on a nice warm summery day but in the dark winter when it's snowing and blowing and icey, things can seem a whole lot different. As Jennifer says lifestyle is important as well. Does being a homeowner stretch you a bit financially? Given that and you move there but decide it's not for you...would selling it be easy as well? You said your parents gave you some worthy things to think about then you went on to say..."but we have to grow up sometime" How does that figure into the worthy things? I know, you are thinking on paper and sometimes thoughts can be random and just that...thoughts! Listening to persons who give you counsel (albeit parents or experienced friends) doesn't negate your being an adult or not...it just shows maturity to weigh the value of the counsel and to give it credibility and worth....and also caring. Your photos show great results from the surgery. Are you happy with going through the experience and would you advise others to look into it?
