Have you SEEN me?

Formerly Not So Much. . .the daily musings of a 26-year-old PYT whose self-love is superceded only by her obnoxiously endearing ability to remind you at all times just how fabulous she is. Guys too stupid to realize how lucky they are to be graced with her presence? Woman with 4-pack abs climbs onto the elliptical trainer next to her? Arrives at Chick-Fil-A at 10:37, only to learn she has missed her opportunity for a chicken biscuit? She throws all these setbacks off with disdain. . .after all, have you SEEN her??

Hasn't sunk in...

In the midst of my trial last week, my mother calls to tell me that she's found an amazing loan program for me. 4% interest on a 5/1 arm, with the loan company paying up to $5000 in closing costs. It was just too good of a program NOT to buy something this weekend. So, I set off on Saturday with the boyfriend and the realtor to find something. Anything. And on house #9, I struck gold.

It's an adorable 2 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow. Built in 1950. Very small, but very adorable. All hardwood floors except for the tiled kitchen and bath. A beautiful fenced yard. Big trees. A nice wooden deck and a stone patio below that. It's just absolutely the cutest house you've ever seen.

And it's mine. Or at least, it will be mine as of June 30th.

I can't wait to paint, decorate, garden, and all the other fun piddling around that comes with owning a home. I am going to have to buy a lawn mower. A grill. New furniture, and perhaps a hammock. Some have suggested a hot tub even.

It hasn't fully sunk in yet just what an exciting, important, big step this is... but I do feel a little more grown-up, a little more stable suddenly.
