Property Owners
Holy shit.
We bought a condo. A three bedroom/three bathroom condo.
In southern California.
For what we paid for this place, I shudder to think what we could have gotten in another state. But ya know what? We actually can afford it. Even with me out on maternity leave.
It's funny how folks automatically assume I'm all stressed out about moving so close to my due date. It's actually quite the opposite. I feel so settled and secure in the fact that we're not "transients" any more as renters. We can settle down and plant some roots. We can poke holes in walls and paint until we can't paint anymore. We can live without Godzilla and Mothra stomping about above us.
The place is beautiful. All new construction. We have an end unit with windows on three sides and they're huge! We have a great view too. It's at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and it's all ours. We even get to pick out the flooring and the window blinds as a "builder incentive" credit. Our appointment is at 5:00 tonight. We're both very excited.
This is cool too... the price we're paying is $8,000.00 less than it should be because of a typo on the spreadsheet. That's just fine by me!
I have a friend who lives at the other end of our street and her baby is due in December. What a blessing to have somebody close who is going through the same things I am.
I'm not too worried about packing because my mother and my friends won't let me do it. Rick will be out of town from August 19th until September 9th and we're moving the 10th or the 11th of September. It's cutting it very close, but everything that needs to get done will get done. We have somebody to move us and I have people to help me get organized after the move. I won't have to lift a finger. I'm so blown away at all the help that is being offered to me. Wow. I love my friends and my family.
