Dancing Home Owner

As of about 30 minutes ago, I became the Dancing Home Owner!! (I just closed on my first home.) Surprisingly, once I found the place back in January, I didn't have any hesitations or regrets about locking myself into a mortgage. I guess my logic is that while living in and experiencing new places is fun, I may live to be a 100 so settling down for 5 or 7 years in one place won't hurt. I chose this area to settle down because I am not too far from family and have many friends here. There's also lots to do in the area and I work for a pretty good company.

The house I bought is a single family (detached) home in Reston, VA. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, kitchen, dining, living, and garage. It's old, small, and has nothing fancy about the place, but the woman who lived there before me (a retiree) kept it clean and well-maintained. Most importantly, it didn't cost me an arm and a leg like most other properties in the area. Still, I would like to get a roommate so that I have some fun money to play (i.e. travel) with. If you know anyone looking for a cool roommate to live with, send them my way!!
