9/10 - Very good, the only downside being that the speech seems a bit forced and formal.

For example, instead of:

"I really have gotten myself a nice house" I thought.

You would be better saying:

I took a step back and admired the house. I couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay.

So, lay off the unnecessary speech for future pastas and keep writing!
