It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve given a “new house” update, but we have been making some progress. And although painting seems like the NEVER ENDING project, I feel as though we might be close to finishing up the last couple rooms. Once those are done, just give me a new bathroom, some new kitchen floors, appliances, and we are ready to move in!It’s small, needs some updating, but it is ours! It’s been a LOT of hard work, some arguments, decision making, and for indecisive individuals like my fiancé and me, not always a walk in the park…
However; I am excited to announce that we will be closing on our first home next Wednesday, November 23, at noon!
It seems like a long time coming, especially since we have been in the process since July… and working in the house since August, it is all FINALLY falling into place.
The thought of the “officialness” of the whole closing process is a little scary! I’ve NEVER purchased anything so expensive. Besides my saddle and maybe the carpeting I just bought, I can’t say I have invested so much money into one purchase.
A fellow blogger informed me that she literally gets nauseous when making big purchases and has actually gotten sick when buying cars and closing on her house.
I can’t say that I’m a puker – I’m an impulse buyer. Typically, regardless of price, if I want it, I buy it. But I’ve had a lot of time to think about this purchase, a BIG purchase. It’s nerve-wracking. It isn’t like buying a pair of jeans. If they don’t fit right, I return them and get my money back, or find another pair. You can’t return a house if things aren’t going well… I won’t get my money back if the toilet leaks and floods my basement.
Reality is setting in – in 5 days I will be a homeowner. Scary! Exciting!
But I’m ready, it is time, I need to be a big girl!
