@thecarlosking_ where is love and marriage Huntsville? Can we have a date please.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

@spicegyal76 Thanks! I ended up in the matrix the other day looking at diy projects. At this point, I can build a whole tiny house. Lol

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

I'm turning into a real home owner. The microwave door wouldn't close so I went right on over to the YouTube and made it happen. It's fixed. Lol.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

First DIY project done. I feel accomplished!!

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

I mean I took shit all the way apart. Somebody get me a good tool set!

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

Everyday I pick up the boys and we ride past our new house. The owner has officially moved out and we finally went in. Needless to say this one is ready for the move!

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

It's closing day!!! I'm scared, nervous, and excited!!!

Why the first time sex scenes in the books be way better than in real life. I ain't telling all of my business but let's just say the Mississippi heat and a big ass blanket in the middle of July ain't the story you want to hear.

@angelayee So what you saying. Details please.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

Ok. Enough for tonight. This was fun.

I'll be back tomorrow or so to tell yall about going to the hospital 3 times over the summer. Fun times to tell. Lol.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

I'm excited for our next chapter. Can't wait to have our house warming. It will be at the subdivision community house and pool cause these hoa fees and amenities WILL BE USED!

Yall can drive past the house, but take your ass back to the community center and pool. Lol.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

Shoutout to our realtor though. CJ made so much of the process easier.

It only took him showing me 2 houses, my Issac Jay disappointed look and a what the hell is this conversation before he knew exactly what was worth showing.

Commission well earned.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

We have spent over 10 grand and ain't even got the keys yet. Smh...

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

Speaking of closing, let's just mention how much money you need to have up front just to pay on a 30 year mortgage.

Bruh you will get nickled and dimed you throughout. From earnest money, to inspection, to appraisal, to whatever they want to list as needed.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

The biggest hurdle in the whole home buying process was arguing back and forth with the seller.

But she's cutting us a check at closing so I like her now.

Meanwhile, homeowners service your HVAC and water heater yearly like you're supposed to.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

But what is yall's obsession with white kitchens. Like 85% of the homes we viewed had white kitchens. I originally had NO WHITE KITCHENS on wishlist but that left damn near no homes to view...

Though the home we bought doesn't have a white kitchen so win in my book. Lol.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

Buying a home isn't as scary as I thought it would be. It was actually a fun process. Exploring different types of homes made me realize I'm more of a "nontraditional this house has character and unique features" type of buyer.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

So now that we have been cleared to close on our home, I feel comfortable to talk about the process.

[Duke de la Ratch @DaHalftymeShow]

I like coming over here to vent. I think I'm too lost in the Twitter sphere to be relevant.
