For those of you who don't know, the past few months have been full of the house-buying process; looking, offering, negotiating, closing, etc. Turns out buying a house isn't the most stress free process and there have been more than a few tearful calls made to my Dad (thanks Dad). In true Dad fashion, he's done a good job of reminding me that life isn't just about the destination but about the journey, that we need to spend time focusing on the path to what we want and how we get there. And I, in typical teenage daughter fashion, have mostly whined and pouted about the journey. I'm impatient, I just want to BE there!
Well, we are officially there. We closed on the 31st of March and moved in this past weekend. We've been thrilled to have help from some amazing friends (woo, painting party) and to have made some great changes to the space (stay tuned for DIY photos!). I am 100% in love with the house and awed every time I come home and the journey really was worth it. I won't say that I loved the journey but... it was an important part of getting to the destination and all in all, our journey was not that difficult.
I'll be posting room by rooms but in the meantime, if you want to check out some photos, here's the House Set on Flickr.
