well, as of yesterday, wil and i became official first time home owners.
if you hadn’t heard, not even two months ago, wil and i made the decision to buy a house, we looked for about a week, found one we loved, put an offer and waited till escrow closed!

not knowing what to expect, the process was interesting- fun, exciting, nervewracking, stressful, to say the least. it was fast…we were always on the next step (our goal was to be able to move out by august 1st, so that we could offer our condo as a place to rent for nearby design students or whomever.). we did hit a few bumps along the way, especially nearing the end, though. had some issues with the underwriter in the last moments of escrow that wil wonderfully handled, while i bit my nails in the background not knowing what the heck was going on. the back and forth paperwork for the loan was much more difficult than we anticipated, and with a stubborn underwriter, we had to continually push the day of closing back, causing it to fall on a day that i was out of town and wil was expected to meet with the upper management at work for their monthly meetings. jeesh!

but it’s done! we have the keys and the garage door openers (we’re pretty excited about not parking outside anymore) so i guess it’s official! since we leave for hawaii tomorrow, all the moving will happen when we get back. we plan on doing some fun stuff to the place too- tile in some bathrooms, new kitchen cabinets and counters, new furniture. woohoo!
here’s our new home- 300 harwich court, nashville:
