I never figured I was much of a house person. Too much room. Too many places I might want to be. Too much extra space to fill with furniture and decor. Shopping and paying for homeowners insurance. More areas which need cleaning. But after spending some time at Jenn’s, I’ve kind of come around to the idea. There are definitely perks, like having your own washer and dryer in your home (and not having to pay in quarters!) or having a garage. And having front and back yards where you can have patio furniture, grill out or decorate for holidays is pretty alluring, too.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not entirely sold on the idea and am in no position to go out and buy a house, anyway but I am coming around to the idea and it might be a goal sometime in the future. And when/if that time comes, I am sure I’ll have a lovely time with maintenance and repairs, homeowners insurance and neighbour’s kids and dogs. Like any residence, there are perks and disadvantages to the situation.
