The joy of home ownership

Posted in Rachel for now by Rachel on the April 18th, 2006

Lets see, so we bought out first home this past Friday! (Cheering). We have been working on this for the last 3 months or so, and we are very excited. We went over there Friday night just to check out the house some more and get to know it a little better. A bad storm rolled in later that night while we were still there. The weather station reported a tornado touchdown nearby and winds around 100 mph. We headed proudly to out new basement to weather the storm and wait. I would have been hyperventilating and sitting in the bathtub of our apartment. Not fun. So the storm was fine. We heard a couple of loud noises but no damage was done to us or the house. At the end of the evening we were preparing to leave and pull out of the driveway. We shined our headlights on one of the huge trees we have in our front yard. Much to our surprise a limb as big as a small tree had fallen of during the strorm. I mean I have never seen a limb this big. We were like, “you have got to be kidding me, on our first night of owning a home a tree the size of a giant fell.” We were a little discouraged to say the least that the tree would mark our first 6 hours of homeownership in the negative. Thats okay though. The good thing is that we are fine and so is the house. The town of Danville actaully came out the next down and cut up the branches with a chainsaw so all is well. What a crazy welcome to home ownership.
