House!

I have negotiated and accepted an offer for a a house in Champaign.
I've looked for a month and thought about it for 6.

It's very grown up of me.

It has 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms.
I will have 2 roommates.
It's almost 50 years old but has great updates in the kitchen with an addition.
It's a little over 1600 square feet.
It's a ranch on a slab and 1 car garage.
The neighborhood is fine but old.

It still has to pass inspection the first week in June.
Closing won't be until the end of July.

It's not official-official but we are going out to celebrate tonight anyway.
I am at least celebrating not having to shop anymore.

*Edit:
I was going to put pictures but realized that I don't have any of my own and the only ones I can get are online through house shopping websites.  This would require me to put my future address out there for all the world to see and I would prefer to keep stalkers at bay.  If you know me, email or Facebook message me and I will send you a link.  :)

May

May

When those who've had it together start to lose it

When those who almost had it together stop trying

When those who barely held it together fall apart

When those who never had it together break everything apart

And all I want is for it to end.
