One week down, 51 one more to go

I've made it to my first week in the house. Though technically I did take possession on the 14th of this month I really didn't move in or have my first sleep there until the next night, which makes today 1 week.

I survived!! I didn't have any serious mental break downs, the house didn't catch on fire, I didn't do any real take out, I managed as an adult.

I of course assumed that by this point I would have the house fully decorated, everything sorted through and be taking billions of pictures and showing everyone around my nicely decorated house. Well, you know what they say about assuming...yeah, I am one.

I basically have the living room set up (though I am just awaiting delivery of my new love seat on Thursday) and my master bedroom. Granted my closet has yet to be organized, but there's a door on it so very easy to not show anyone that. I didn't think it would take this much effort, energy and time to go through all my belongings. The scary thing is I think even once I go through the remaining 10 boxes and 3 big garbage bags of stuff, that my parents will have more at their house once they do the remaining of their purging (their biggest was me moving back out).

So for the time being no photos, hopefully once I have it less looking like a tornado went through and more looking like someone actually lives there, I will be able to share the beauty of my biggest milestone to date.

My biggest purchase to do and soon - barstools. For the life of me I cannot find any that I like or have what I want, I never knew it would be that hard to find good barstools, I'm running out of ideas where to look. Suggestions are much welcomed!!

Today is the day

To quote the Smashing Pumpkins (showing my age)

Today is the greatest
Day I ’ve ever kown
Can’t live for tomorrow
Tomorrow’s much too long

My house officially closes today! I am right on time, no delays, no new moving days, just right on time! Sometime this afternoon I will be picking up my keys and be an official first time home owner.

I have mostly gotten over my fear of it, I admittedly spent most of last night in a funk, crying, moaping, mostly due to realization not only am I growing up, but that I will own the biggest thing in my life, and I did it on my own.

I unfortunately am not able to really move in until tomorrow, but I will try and get some smaller items over if I can, just to ease the amount the movers themselves have to bring. Somehow, I said three bedrooms worth of stuff, but I think I have enough for five bedrooms worth. My parents poor living room is crammed with stuff, the basement is just filled with stuff and even the back sun room has other things, I hope there is enough room in their moving van for all of it.

While I had hoped to try and relax and enjoy my weekend, I have a feeling it will be spent unpacking and organizing. I am making a mandatory stop to Costco on the Saturday to load up on some much needed food, Sunday will probably be spent grocery shopping also, though nothing major as I thankfully do not work until possibly the Wednesday.

I have a home inspector showing up on Tuesday to go over my house, note down things for my 30 day list, be interesting to see what he finds, or thinks of what I've found.
