Bear with me...I haven't done this since Xanga was popular!...Now who remembers that?!
A little about me:
Have been with FI for the past nearly 5 years...we'll call him J throughout this! We originally were looking at renting about 4 years ago. My mom passed away very suddenly from an undetected Brain Aneurysm (spreading awareness saves lives!) and there was no way I was leaving my dad and younger brother. FI (boyfriend at the time!) knew this, and picked up shop and moved into my childhood bedroom like a champ! We've been there since Feb 2008 and while it has been great, it was getting a little old!
How we got the homeowners world:
We stalked Redfin for months just looking at cute houses we'd like to live in one day...took it a step further and went to a few open houses.
...then it got fast!
- Beginning of Sept 2010...Saw a new construction townhouse development posting.
- Emailed agent without telling J.
- Made appt to see another townhome similar to new construction.
- Informed J of my actions...(dealt with grief for not involving him.)
- Loved model - met with builders.
- Put down deposit on Sept 29th, 2010...Happy Birthday to me!
I'll post a bunch of the early pics when I get home from work tonight!
Congratulations on your new home fellow nestie! I really can't wait to see what you do with it! I took a look at those construction pictures you posted and those town homes look beautiful!! I'm sure it is going to be completely dazzling inside!
