Big News!

Back in September I was browsing the local real estate listings just for fun and I stumbled upon a cute little house in a nice nearby town. Now, I don't want to go into a lot of boring detail of what happened, but basically that spurred me to talk to my parents, who said I should call a realtor we know, and I officially began house hunting early

I know!

Wow! That's so exciting! I didn't even know you were house hunting -- was this something you were keeping quiet?

I love all the wood in the house, and the slanty walls in the bedrooms.

Yeah, when I started I figured there was a good chance I'd never actually get a house so I didn't say anything. And then having not said anything it started a whole thing of...not saying anything.

Slanty walls are how it goes with capes. It's what I grew up with and what I'm used to.

Oh my god! Congratulations! That's a BEAUTIFUL house! I am in love with it, I hope you put up more pictures once you are moved in.

I definitely plan to put up more pictures, although I can't afford to go out and buy nice furniture for the whole house immediately, so it will be quite a while before it's really completely furnished in a way that I'm pleased with.

EEEEEE!!!!!!

It's so pretty and adorable and perfect! I love it! And I can't help but notice that it looks like the cute little houses we briefly admired in Houston!

I can't believe you didn't say anything sooner!

HOUSE!

You should name it. All the best houses have names. Tara. Orchard House. The House on Haunted Hill.

I didn't want to jinx it! And then after there was nothing left to jinx I just...I dunno. I figured I'd wait until it was absolutely 100% official in every way.

Gryffindor. Oh wait...different kind of house.

I do think it should have a name, though. I'm open to suggestions. It has to be something that sounds quaint. I'm not good at naming things, though, as evidenced by my car that I've had for 9 years and still haven't thought of a name for.

Well, now I feel like it should be called The Little Gryff.

Oh my gosh so so exciting!!! It's such a cute house I love it.

How in the world are you already moving in tomorrow?

Well, I closed this morning. When I say it's officially mine as of 11 this morning I mean that's when the deed was recorded. I've been working on this for some time.
