Little changes that are big changes in hiding.

Last night was the last time we slept in this house as owners. We're heading to closing today at 9am to sign the house over to my dad. I am super jazzed and also a bit sad by it all. Of course it's a good thing since he will add another desired area to his property list for rentals, and it frees Scott and I up to buy the home we have been looking at for almost a month now. It's bittersweet I guess. I'm very proud of myself that as a single, 25 year old woman I was able to buy this home on my own. No help, no guidance. I think that was the moment when I realized how strong I could be if I only allowed myself. This house has been awesome, it's been sad, it's taught me a lot about homeownership. I'm really going to miss it but I know one day when I'm older and I have a child, I will drive them by this house and let them know that they can do anything they put their mind to. Even if they are a single, 25 year old woman. It might seem like a small accomplishment to you, but for me, finding the strength and fighting through the scare took quite a lot of me. And I DID IT!! :)

So goodbye my lovely little home. I love you and I loved living in you. I will miss your huge windows, the trees that are older than any person I know, the squirrel family in the yard, the kitty hiding spots, the grass green bathroom, the long hallway where the cats would play soccer. I'm going to miss you more than I thought I would but I will never forget you.

What it is?

Oh my gosh, so much going on that I feel like I'm suffocating. None of it is bad, but it's still a lot for me to process.

We're about to buy our second house, contract is pending right now actually. The current owners have agreed to our terms, but now we're just waiting for the lenders and funding to take place. This is where the wait is long.

Once we finalize that, we'll be able to get some contractors in to place bids for painting and a few other small things. The house has brand new granite counter tops and all new stainless steel appliances. The only thing that isn't new is the dishwasher but it works so we'll replace that when we need to. Scott and I are super excited because WE'LL HAVE A GARAGE AND CLOSETS AND TONS OF STORAGE. The backyard backs up to a huge private property and our view is of their duck pond. How awesome is that? The only crap thing is Scott mentioned there might be snakes (water moccasins!!!) because of that. My ass is going to be at Lowe's getting some snake repellant. Bet your bippy.

We finally got a PS3. Score!

And
