Is it alright if I, a gentile, attach a mezuzah to my house? I really like what it stands for, and the reminder. One thing I really like about the Jewish people is their symbolism and constant reminders of God's words.

Shalom Bibi,
Though your sentiments are noble, you are not required to affix a mezuzah to your door. It is not an ornament but was a specific commandment for the Jewish people.
As a born again believer you are free in Messiah Jesus from any legal requirements. It would be better if you enjoyed the presence of Jesus as the 'Mezuzah' over your heart forever. Mezuzah actually means doorpost, and He says to you:
אנכי הדלת איש כי יבוא בי יושע ובצאתו ובבואו ימצא מרעה׃
I am the door by me if any man enter in he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture. John 10:9
