After many years of renting an upstairs suite, my brother and I decided that we would start to look at houses to buy.

We made this decision after watching numerous episodes of the TV show The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan.

In his words, he rehabilitates dogs and trains humans. He came along just in time to teach us the ways of the dog whisperer.

Because we didn’t own our own home, my brother and I have been forced into living in places that did not allow pets.

So, knowing that we may be able to afford an actual house, and after having watched Cesar Millan and how well he does with dogs, and how much we want to buy dogs, it was time to start looking for a house.

Over the course of time we saw a few different homes, some we liked, some we didn’t. But this past week we saw one and by the end of that day, our proposal to buy the home was accepted.

If everything works out with the bank, the home inspection and the lawyer, we officially take possession of the home on April 25.

While the events that took place on that single day were a lot, I have a feeling the process of actually going through all the paperwork will be a long one.

But, at least I can look forward to the day when I have my own home to go to after graduating.
