Instead of dropping that cash on a new toy or using it to go ride another coaster, this year we found ourselves using it to improve our surroundings - something we never had to worry about before. A ten-year plan would be nice, but if history is any indicator, we probably won't pull it off. We'll see. Get back to me in a decade. :) Well, it’s the home improvement projects that really made it feel like there’s a life change happening.

At the beginning of October I realized I was making was the first mortgage payment of year three. I moved into my house in June of 2007, which means I am approaching two and a half years here. Certainly my life is nowhere near the point where yours is, but I had similar thoughts about finally being rooted in one place. I left home in 2000 and have never lived in one place for more than 15 months. I think that's why it's taken me so long to feel like this place is actually my home. I had a hard time jumping right into home improvement projects like you did. Maybe if I had, I would have come to feel more at home sooner. This is somewhat related…

I'm uprooting and starting over. It feels strange to read that, as I’m doing exactly the opposite after living in my house for more than eight years. I’m uprooting and starting over.
