Where’s My Butler?

We bought our first house.  I’ve always dreamed of owning a home.  I’ve also dreamed of owning a million dollar home with maids quarters,a  butler, ten car garage, west wing, yada yada.

So what happened to my butler?  We bought a million dollar house and there is none of the above.  Don’t get me wrong.  The house is beautiful.  I guess, in my dreams though I always visioned a million dollars as being wealthy beyond my wildest dreams.

Funny how times change as does the value of the dollar.  The first house we lived in belonged to my father in law.  He paid 215k for it.  It is now worth 650k ten years later. 

My mind still can’t really grasp the concept that we own a million dollar home.  I mean we were so poor at one point.  When I think of what we have now and were we were, I can’t believe the good fortune that we have. 

So our house is great.  I guess now my husband better get to work on making another 2 or 3 million so we can have our butler.
