For the past 3 months I have been trying to buy my own home. We went through the whole process with one, only to have the deal fall through at the last minute thanks to appraisal-caused delays. Well, I got the keys to another duplex (way nicer than the first one anyway) just yesterday. Now I'll have a dedicated reptile room and a backyard for my dogs! Not to mention tenants that will help pay the mortgage.

Now for the moving part...

I just wanted to share with you guys. I'm very excited!
