Yes! Yes! Yes! The house is paid off.

Well after all these years we have finally done it. Thursday, July 10, 2009 was a red-letter day as we mailed off out last and final house payment. Soon we will be the owners of our first house. The whole world knows it since Mom Facebooked it last night but I have the proof right here. Before you lament our loss of a tax right off - Our interest expense this month was a whole $17. What do we get for this. Well we no longer will be paying $2100+ a month on our house. Our expense will drop to $300 (taxes + fire insurance). Yes, $200 a month in taxes - eat your heart out. Ha, ha. Anyway this is one our family goals met after all these years.

Aimee - But think - how much younger you will be when it is paid off. You won't be 61.
