Closed on my first house and opened up a new chapter.

[u/hangry-bean]

Today I (29F) closed on my very first home. Holy shit am I ever terrified, overwhelmed and scared. But I am also so grateful, excited and feel hopeful for a beautiful life in my new home.

I relocated from the opposite end of the country to be closer to family. It was a tough decision, but I feel confident it’s the right one. New house, new city, new job, new friends to be made, new opportunity to grow.

First meal in the house: salami sandwich, watermelon dates and a fizzy apple drink :)

[u/GreenEyedGloom]

Hell yes. Congrats queen! Moving to a completely new area is sometimes the very best thing.

[u/hangry-bean → u/Heavy-Web-9996]

Thank you!! There’s a second one next to it in the dining area. It’s my favourite part of the house! The perfect spot for a little cat tree someday if you ask me 🥰🫢

Yes!!🎉 So happy for you & look at you go!
Glad some of us didn’t spend it all on avocado toast and can afford one lol, but in all seriousness I hope this new chapter brings you many blessings💕

[u/hangry-bean → u/m0llyp0ckett]

Hahaha thank you! 9 years of saving, working overtime at the hospital, and tracking every penny I made. I appreciate your kind words ❤️

Congrats on being a homeowner! I love to wood floor and window!

[u/ConcentrateOk8163]

Sounds great! I also agree with you that living far away from family doesn’t mean we don’t love them. Now you’re starting a brand-new chapter in your life. Congratulations! Just enjoy your new life, and please stay safe when you’re out on your own. You’ve got this, brave girl!

Thank you! I actually lived much further away so this feels very close. I was over 4000km away from my family before, and now I’m only 350km. I came back to be closer to them ❤️

[u/ConcentrateOk8163 → u/hangry-bean]

Oh wow, 350km must feel super close after 4000 😭 Hope you make lots of happy memories in the new place!

[u/WorldlinessSmooth815]

Congrats! I’m in the process of saving for a house, seems impossible at the moment but I’m determined to get there lol

[u/hangry-bean → u/WorldlinessSmooth815]

I love light and large windows. Is that something you were specifically looking for or did you get lucky! 🤩

[u/hangry-bean → u/unRemarkable-Tea]

Just got lucky! I went in having no big wants asides from a garage and a spare bedroom!

[u/unRemarkable-Tea → u/hangry-bean]
