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.
