Well buying a house is a helluva process! So much paperwork and angst! I started getting grays in my hair This started as we want, then quickly evolved into we need lol so it got pretty real, it would be heartbreaking to fall apart at this point. And it often feels like it would or still will because we donāt deserve to buy a house we want in an area we love. We had like a bajillion showings, and an open house and didnāt get a single offer, granted it had only been on the market for like 2 weeks but it was feeling like a failure and that we had missed our opportunityā¦ then boom, an offer at listed price and another right after.
We are finally at appraisal stage for our place and for our future home, all goes well, weāll be closing on the October 21st.
Today we got keys, we were supposed to close on the 21st, had a uhaul and our storage in itā¦ then we got told nope. We had to sit all weekend with our stuff like 90% packed and that naggling suspicion of we donāt deserve a house.
Well fuck all that, we got our keys late, busted some hump and got like 50% moved in like 4 hours! Feels good, feels right!
Congratulations, mate!
Buying a house sure is some crazy shit, and there is always some last minute bullshit to put a shit-cherry on the shit-pile of paperwork and chaos.
Really happy for you and your family. Most excellent!
The last minute bullshit was killing us! The type of shit where you say Iām not even going to bother wiping, Iām hopping straight into the shower I donāt know how people move every couple of years unless they absolutely have too.
Huge Congratulations!
What a beautiful happy bunch you got there.
Buying a home is probably the most stressful life experiences and you did it sober. Woo hoo!
Seeing your latest renovation and your 2,000 day postā¦I had to do some digging to find a post that I remembered and that resonated so deeply for me on what sobriety offers us and how it is % possible to begin again. This is that thread.
