I live in my parents' house. And now with both of them gone, I look around and think "Should have upgraded back then"... so you're doing the perfect thing by getting the stuff you want NOW! You're young, you want to enjoy your house, A house is meant to be a "home" New neighbors across the street have moved in 2 months ago and redid everything, right at the start, IMO, thats so amazing,

I'm so excited for you! Congratulations! Do you have a fenced yard for our precious Samantha? Blessings on you and your new dream house!!!!!
