Closing time...one last call for alcohol so grab your whiskey and beer.
That song has been in my head all week.
Tomorrow is the final closing on being a homeowner (for now).
In the past three months we sold the house, had to sell a lot of the furniture and transfer furniture/ belongings to NEW homes and dealt the with ups and downs of having a house on the market.
Luckily, we used a dynamic team of realtors, personal friends Asha and Danny of Team Reyes that truly helped us through every step of the process and got us pretty much our asking price on the home.
If you are in the Tampa Bay area (and beyond) and looking for a rental, selling or buying a home I highly suggest checking them out, like their Facebook page here and tell them I sent you :-)
We were lucky to have sold our home and now it's time for that chapter to close.
Every time I entered or left the home I now once I owned with my ex it makes me feel sad, broken and confused.
This was the home we were supposed to have a family in, our first "grown up" purchase really and we were so proud of being able to do that at such a young age.
I'm glad that it's over with sale wise but the emotional after math is always going to hit home for me.
No one ever plans these things when they get married, build a life together, a home but I'm dealing with the reality of it all and while it sucks it also allows me to finally move on from that chapter and look to the future.
I wish the next family that lives in this home nothing but happy memories and laughter as I can honestly say it had over several years. So many fun parties and big moments were had in this home. Even though our story didn't end up as a happy ending, I am positive someone else will enjoy this home and love it just as much as we did.
So for now, it's goodbye to a first home, one that I will never forget.
