I am now a grown up. Well, almost. Officially, I've been an adult since 1994. I'll be 31 in less than two weeks but that is not what qualifies me as becoming a grown up. In my opinion, one is a grown up when they start doing grown up things such as buying a house. That is exactly what Liz and I have done.
Due to the current housing crisis in South-East Queensland, we were unable to buy where we wanted to in Brisbane. Instead, we had to travel about 30km west to Ipswich. Liz grew up in Ipswich and for years we said we would never move there. But the prices in Brisbane have just soared so much that we couldn't afford anything decent. After long deliberations, we decided to bite the bullet and have a look. We actually found something wonderful on the first day of looking and we snatched it up.
We're currently in the process of organising the inspection, conveyancing, and finance but hope to get the keys sometime in November.
Other grown up things I do or have done:
1. Bought a car
2. Wake up early (sometimes before 6am)
3. Pay bills
4. Complain about music being too loud
5. Visited a chiropractor
Where the hell is Ipswich?
