I am a home owner!
The closing took a little over three hours, three solid hours of signing my full legal name. I only use my first initial on everything, so I found it quite difficult and surprisingly awkward to spell out my first name. I'm still not completely packed and I am shocked by how much crap I own. When I was looking at houses, it was always such a shock to see strangers' basements. There are a whole lotta people that must keep every item that come across. After each time out, I came home and tried to throw away everything that was not absolutely essential to keep. Walking through those basements actually made me feel like I needed a shower. Our new house does not have a basement, which became quite a plus for me. I still have too much stuff, even with all the things I threw out. At the same time, I know that our house will seem very empty for a very long time. There's not a heck of a lot of cash left over to buy furniture with. If only I could find some sort of modern alchemy in order to transform one thousand cooking magazines into the dining room suite of my dreams.
