One More Thing Done

Today I can check another sign of adulthood off the list.  (Did you know there's a list?)  Today I closed on refinancing my house.  Yea!  Lower monthly payments!  Yea even more for what I expect will be better customer service with the new lender.  In the short term, I get to take a month off and my next payment won't be due until December.  Thanks, new bank!

As I was leaving the appointment, my arms full of paper, the rain coming down on the heavy and cold side, I was thinking, did I really just refinance my house?  I can't say that I ever sat down and planned to do it.  In a way, it happened almost by accident - and mainly because I was so fed up with the old mortgage company I would have paid to leave them.  It took me quite a while to stop calling the mortgage payment a rent payment.  Now I've refinanced that not-a-rent-payment.  I feel so grown up!
