Okay, so there's been quite a bit of silence around here of late - I'm normally pretty busy but as of about 3 p.m. today, I'm also.... (drum roll please)... a homeowner!
The new place is a cute townhome with two bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, a two-car garage, cute kitchen with breakfast nook, fireplace, and two decks/patios. I'm not moving far from where I live now - close to the center of town with easy access to almost everything.
Now this isn't my first home ownership experience - Brian and I owned houses in Houston and California over the years, but I've been a renter again since the divorce and it took me a while to get the confidence to buy again. This time around, I did all the loan and signing and qualifying and planning on my own. Scary. Luckily, I'll be sharing the moving duties with Philip. :-)
There was some house-buying drama, which I'll relate later, but for now I'll just focus on the happy news that I'm now (again) a homeowner and can leave the apartment with the evil downstairs neighbor. Oops, wait, is it after 8 pm and I'm actually typing? Might be too noisy. Shhhh! Can't wait to be in my own place again! Even though it's a townhome, we only share one wall, since we're on the corner, so that should be different than sharing a floor/ceiling. Speaking of floors, bought a new floor yesterday, too. Went and picked out some bamboo for the downstairs and the stairs. The upstairs (where the living room, dining room, and kitchen are) is already wood, but the downstairs was some awful Berber carpet. Ugh. My bare feet will *never* touch that stuff.
Anyway, off to drink my can of bubbly and get some sleep - lots of excitement and packing and moving to plan...
