The Acne Prone Wife

Write down your dream and it will happen. Just kidding. So six months ago I was thinking of moving out our parents' house, and I wrote it here . Who knows that last month the husband and I actually managed to buy a house--with some financial help from the family--. It is an old house and now we're renovating it. Tadaaaa So I wrote down my dream, and it happened. But I don't think they are cause and effect. I believe we managed to buy the house because God is willing to provide what we need. And because we know we need the house, we have made arrangement and careful budget to make it happen. The process of finding the house opened our eyes that the search was led by God. We looked at a couple of houses and nearly made the purchase, but something always happened: the buyer of one house decided to cancel the deal, the certificates of another house was troublesome, etc. I almost gave up.

For the past few months, my husband and I have been thinking of moving out of our parents' houses to our own place. We remember how fun it was when we were living at that small apartment. Just the two of us. We would be so happy, not that we are unhappy now, but I just know that it would be so exciting! House of Love. LOL. Picture is from here .  However, I started to do the math of living on our own, and boy it is not simple. Living on our own means a lot of expenses on our own. These are some that I can think of: Monthly rent or mortgage New furniture, if needed  Water, electricity, gas bills Grocery shopping Only four but I believe the amount of money involved is not small, and the list can go on and on , especially if someday we have a child of our own. Scary. But I believe moving to our own place is an essential step for our little family. Let's hope this year there'll be a way to start it.
