This week’s emotional turmoil started with a case of the Mondays, escalated to a case of bank fraud and considerable amounts of lost money (in the process of being reclaimed–after a lot of stress and many hours at the bank), and then climaxed with…some of you guessed it…
A HOUSE.
This house.
- 950 square feet–perfect for a single lady.
- 0.45 acres–perfect for a single lady who wants her own vegetable garden.
- Pristine interior–perfect for a single lady who doesn’t want to remodel (but does want to slap some paint around).
- Garage–perfect for a single lady who may or may not be a little too obsessed with her car.
- Free appliances–perfect for a single lady who is about to be on a very strict budget.
It isn’t the house I was considering before Costa Rica. It’s better.
I’m about to have a mortgage (…pending inspection…and the return of that stolen money)–and I’m excited. Time to move forward with a big life decision of my own.



Woo hoo!!! Congratulations! (And I’m glad you didn’t get a condo.. haha!)
I am too–I didn’t even end up viewing a single one.
Ahh congrats friend!!! It sounds like the perfect place
WOW!! Congrats! I am so happy for you, this house sounds absolutely perfect for you
Wow congrats!!! What a great house…good luck with all of the stuff that comes with it!
Sounds like the PERFECT end to a stressful week! I’m glad they’re getting the fraud thing figured out. What timing!
Such a perfect house! When are you closing? Next month?
March 30th if everything goes according to plan! So soon!
What have your roommates said? Anything exciting?
Haha, I’ve actually only told one out of three! Totally not my fault–I haven’t seen two of them since getting serious about this house much less putting in an offer–in fact, one of those two has only been spotted for about ten minutes since the return from Costa Rica. But the one I’ve told is really excited–especially since he has a lawn care business and I’m going to pay him to mow my lawn ;D
Brilliant! You get your own fridge AND lawn service. That’s perfect.
Awesome!!!! I love it, so charming. I can’t wait to see what you do with paint and decorating etc. Please post photos. I am really happy for you and hope all the weird fraud stuff gets worked out.
Thanks Marie! And don’t worry, I promise I’ll be spamming this blog with pictures
Congrats! What a huge step!
Eek, just checked out your Monday and what a nightmare… We’ve got that keycard thing too and the number of times I’ve been stuck out in the corridor like an idiot… hope you have a lovely weekend to help make up for it, which I’m sure you will – congratulations! So exciting and such a lovely house – and having your own vegatable garden (or a potential one) is brilliant! Hope the monmey is sorted out as painlessly as possible so you can relax and enjoy it
There really needs to at least be a buzzer so people inside can know…or maybe that would just highlight the shame of being stuck in the hallway…
CONGRATULAAAAATIONS!!!
what a great looking house, and on a nice piece of land! so excited for you! I hope everything goes Oh So Smoothly with the house, the stolen money, all of it! XO
Thanks Kristina!
Big Big congratulations on the home!!! VERY exciting!!!!! Note exciting that you were defrauded, but hopefully that’ll all be sorted out and behind you soon. Have a great weekend!!!!
Well, the fraud WAS a little exciting–just not in a good way, haha.
Wow, such an exciting and big step! Congrats!
That’s so exciting!!! Congrats

I’m sorry to hear about the bank fraud but super excited for you and the new home- it looks perfect!
Vegetable garden??? I hope you’ll do a comprehensive post on this! There is nothing better than vegetables straight out of my grandma’s garden. I can’t wait to have my own!
I LOVE IT. Yes, yes,yes!

Congrats! That’s so exciting. I too would love to read about your vegetable garden when you have it!
Ooooh! A house! YAY!
Awesome, about the house!
We suffered from identity theft.
sorry you’re having to deal with that poop.
Hugs!!
Congratulations!! This is so exciting, I really cannot wait to see what you do with the place, I want lots of photos! It’s a very sweet house too, the idea of having a vegetable garden sounds just lovely
Sorry about the fraud though, that sounds pretty awful
