Being Homeless

I was officially homeless on October 1! I moved all (well almost all) of my belongings to a 10 x 10 storage unit. Thanks for my amazing sister, Derek, and his parent's some of my items have found a temporary home in their houses :). It is amazing how much stuff I have accumulated over the past three years in my apartment. It was sad to say goodbye to my "home", but I was very excited to start my journey to find my house.

Here is a picture of my storage unit, packed to the brim! The empty spaces are now full with cleaning supplies and a few boxes of clothes.

My title for this blogs states how I feel. I feel like I am homeless. While I know I will not have to sleep in my car or rent a hotel room, I do feel homeless at the moment. I miss my bed, my room, my house. While everyone has been super nice to me about keeping my stuff and me, I feel homeless....I am ready for my house.

 I have only been homeless for 18 days, and am happy to say I have found my new home. Here is my house. I am under contract and will close on November 30!


It is still being built. I got to pick out the wood floor for the living room and hallways last week. Today I went and picked out my carpet for the bed rooms today. I am starting to shop for my fridge to match my stainless steel appliances, and yesterday I got the exciting news that I have an address :). Tomorrow I  begin the process of signing my life away with my loan. It is also exciting to be in my home for my favorite holiday, Christmas. I love to decorate for the season and am so excited to put up christmas lights on my house! Stay tuned for more pictures of my house in the weeks to come.
