Homeowners
Look what we just bought!
The bottom one is ours. And three weeks (and $10 000 worth of renovations) from now, we'll be living there!
To give you some perspective:
We went to the notary's office Wednesday night, signed a pile of paper, handed over a cheque for a large amount of money, and picked up our keys. Then we had champagne and pizza with two of our friends, sitting in patio chairs in our empty living room. We called it our "House Defrosting". The House Warming will be in April, once we have furniture and stuff.
I still can't believe we own our own home. For a kid who lived in rentals her whole life, it's overwhelming. It doesn't feel real, yet, although I'm sure it will once we make the first mortgage payment.
