See, I'm the opposite. I loved the feeling of writing a huge check knowing the money was in the account, it didn't come from a loan, and no money came from anyone else besides my wife and I. Thinking of the time I bought our van with no loan, it felt like I stood up, unzipped my pants and there was a loud, deep, resounding *thud* as I flopped it down on the desk and said "whadda ya think of that?"


I mean yes, I'd rather do this than have a loan, because the one thing I hate more than spending big chunks of money is paying interest, but it's like I've spent all this time earning it and it's gone so fast. And I have some dirt. If there were a house on the dirt I'd probably be more pants unzippy feeling about it.

but it's a weird feeling of pride and awkwardness when people are like "cash? you're able to pay cash for this?"
 
It might be too late, but did you check to make sure there's not an ancient Native American burial ground underneath said dirt?

Congrats. Celebrating tonight, or Friday?


Not sure. DH is going to some fantasy football thing Friday. So I shall be all by my lonesome. We're not doing much tonight.......maybe something Saturday then.
 
Congratulations on being tied to "your" spot on Earth for as long as you want!
Timely that I see this while on a pasture grazing ride for work. Very little dirt to be seen here.


Thanks! and technically I guess we own some grass and weeds too.

Pretty sure you will obtain legend status at Beardshear if you do the cash option for your kids' tuition.
 
It just seems crazy at 21 that people might think I'd actually be getting engaged.

Then I think about it for a second, and that's really not all that uncommon.
I thought this kind of stuff was weird until I moved to the south. Seems to be a lot more common here. My girlfriend (not an Arkansas native, but lived here most of her life) married her ex-husband when she was 18 after knowing him for only about 6 months.
 
I dislike FGL's other songs, but this is crazy appropriate. May have brought a lil tear to my eye.

"I'll tell you somethin', 2014 was just another year noobs needed pwnin' and the fiber optic connection just wasn't fast enough, but it was the first year cowgirl started bringing a beer to my gaming computer every night"

...and taking pictures of my feet...
 


I think it's now going to be my "song" for this stage of our life. That Summertime of Kenny's makes me think of senior year summer, that Thompson Square song makes me think of our wedding, this one's going to make me think about building our house :)

This is where guys are simpler. NIN "Closer" covers all stages.
 
and just to continue being sappy, it makes me think of when we first walked on the lot and DH was a few steps ahead with the builder - I remember how sunny and windy it was and I just thought "this is it. this will be our home."

I feel much more excited when I think about the memories to be made there instead of worrying about the process.

thanks for reminding me why I wanted this dirt in the first place ;)
