    I closed on my very first house.

    I’m a 40-year-old single lady, and had my house built from scratch. It’s been a pretty long journey and since moving day is tomorrow, I’m just surrounded by a labyrinth of boxes, but it all feels pretty surreal.

      Kaitco that’s incredible! I’m single too just buying my first house was awful I can’t imagine what having it built has been like. How are you feeling about the move?

        It’s a mixed bag on the move. I’ve lived in my current place for 6 years and on this side of the city for an additional 12 years. Now, I’m packing up everything I have and moving into a whole different zip code, 35 minutes away from the current place.

        Plus, my mother has been here for the last few days and you know how there’s highs and lows when you’re used to being on your own and suddenly your world is all in boxes and there’s people in your spaces…

        But, I think it will all hit me once I see my stuff in the new house. I haven’t cried yet, but I won’t be ashamed when it probably happens later. 😅

          Yep there’s bound to be a mixed bag, it’s excitement but loss and you’ve got several stressful things. Definitely let the crying come when it’s time!
