First comes love, then comes marriage…
… then comes the house! For the first time in our lives we will be in debt. It feels a little weird. In the whirlwind that was last week: the offer we put on the first house we wanted to buy fell through, we went to look at more houses the next day, put in an offer on another that we liked, and finalized that deal on Tuesday night.
The house is very close to my mom’s house where I grew up; the neighbourhood has changed a lot in the past 8 years that I haven’t been living there though (for the better). The location is conveniently close to both my jobs (and Dave’s job), and there’s a major bus route about 2 blocks away. Location was pretty important to us since it’s the one big thing about the house you can’t really change.
The only thing left to do is the home inspection this coming Tuesday, and unless there is a major issue neither party knows about, we are officially home owners (pending many paper work and signatures). Closing date is April 30th. We’re debating hiring movers since it will be a weekday and anyone who wants to help us out would have to take a day off work. It’s going to be a hectic few days, since right after the move we’re off to the dance competition in Deerhurst for the weekend (which is a whole other blog post in itself)!
