You know you're an adult when...

We are officially homeowners. Technically, we have been since February when we signed the deed and started paying the mortgage. But today, we actually felt like it.

Why, you ask?

Because we went to Lowe's, bought a toilet, then came home and installed it.

(Well really Jonathan installed it, but I acted as gopher during the process.)

Our toilet is nice and new, shiny, and most importantly, flushes well. Something which our last one did not do whatsoever, hence the need for a new one.

On a side note, I realize we've been together five years, but it still amazes me that I have a husband who can take out a old toilet, put in a new one, hook it up, and have it work. He fixed the light installation in the ceiling last weekend too. I grew up in a household where we had an electrician, a plumber, a handyman, and a person who did everything else that remotely involved fixing. This whole concept of DIY? Never even considered it til I met Jonathan. The universe is truly amazing.

Yes, all these renovations make your home more personally yours. Enjoy!

She was talking about hire some contractors! esp. electricians to put in some new lights (which the canasta crowd will appreciate)
