This week I am closing on the purchase of my first house. I will be moving out of what may be my last permanent apartment and into my very own home. This has been a very long and drawn out process that really has taken over the last year to complete. I have learned a lot about real estate and homes in general, but even more about myself.

I think that will be true of any major life experience or undertaking, but I have grown in ways I never expected. I have had break downs and break throughs a-plenty. I have been stretched past my comfort zone by my own initiative as well as by others. I have learned a great many things which I will share in coming posts. I will tell you the story of “Mister Frisky Buys a Home: The Tale of a Young Gay Man and His Brush With a Nervous Breakdown”. With any luck it will be published under the Little Golden Books series when I’m done.
