Even writing those words overwhelms me with joy. I can not believe the day is finally here. Today we got a offer on a lease for a place Chris and I have been looking at for about a fortnight now. It will officially be our house. OUR FIRST HOUSE! Actually its all happened rather quickly. We saw it on the thursday, Submitted the paper work on the friday, had a walk throw on the monday and a week an a half later we got the phone call. We sign a lease this week and we pick the keys up in less than two. It was the first and only house we applied for this time. Which actually blows my mind a little because going into Christmas last year we searched high and low for a place and put in mountains of paper work to no avail. Even Chris didn’t think it would be this easy. He sat me down and told me not to get my hopes up but I told him from the start that it was our house. I knew within my heart of hearts. Actually from the picture it looks like a barn. But it has a lovely lounge and dinning area and a small kitchen but more usable than the one we have. Its also got an indoor laundry and built in wardrobes, a luxury we don’t have in our current place. The bottom floor also has a Toilet and Shower. The top floor has the three bedrooms, main bathroom and separate toilet. How cool is it that our house has an upstairs !?! You know what comes with the up stairs? A great view from the master bedroom of town and a laundry shoot. I know its just so cool! Oh and a bath, I have longed for a bath. I am so grateful to what ever powers that be that has bought this to us. Chris will be a little more excited with the finance and the moving side is all over but I think deep down he really likes the our home bit.
Congratulations! Your first house is the one you will always remember and one you will always miss. At least for me!
