About four hours ago I got the key to my new house. Before I walked in the house as the new owner, I took this picture of myself:

Finally mine!

I actually said a prayer right after I took that picture before I even put the key in the door. What a rush!

That was four hours ago. I’m back at my old house getting some stuff done for work. It’s surreal to actually know that the house is finally mine. I first wrote about this house on March 24th, back when it was cold in Phoenix. That was three months ago! And every day since then I’ve made some sort of effort towards buying the house.

It’s kind of sad to have Candyce out in California because she can’t be here to celebrate with me. I love her so much. This will be our first house together! I am such a blessed, blessed man.
