A Renter's Life


Introducing....our new kitchen light fixture! Ta Da!! Yes folks, that's it. We've been waiting for two months for this to be installed, and, well....it's a little anti-climactic. Oh well. It is sufficient. It does the job. We finally got our kitchen sink fixed today, too. No more terrible leaks all over the place!

Renting is kind of a relief, in many ways. Our landlord told us this house is over 120 years old, and that his dad bought the house in 1920!! Mine and TJ's house was over 80 years old, and it was a handful to keep up. Old houses, while beautiful, take a lot of effort and money to maintain. It's a nice feeling to not have to worry about putting our own money into fixing things when they break!
