omg i bought a house

You guys, I did it — I bought a house! As of 11 am today, I will have signed all of the closing papers and will have keys in hand on Wednesday. This doesn’t feel real to me at all… I’m guessing it will continue to feel surreal up until the movers show up to take my things to the house. I absolutely cannot wait. As a studio apartment dwell since I graduated, I’ve never had a bedroom door or a yard. I’ve dealt with disrespectful downstairs neighbors, 4 am dumpster slamming, and countless construction sites (and that’s just in my most recent apartment). That first night’s sleep in my new home… it’s going to be amazing.

I want to also thank you all for your encouragement, advice, and kind words through this whole process. It has all meant the world to me. I can’t wait to show you photos of the space, plus I’m working on shooting the loft for one, last home tour of that space! Be sure to stay tuned.
