On Friday, I moved into my VERY OWN HOME for the first time! After over a decade of renting, I'm a proud first home owner. It's been a massive journey, the day was nothing like I'd ever imagined and while I didn't get to share it with the people I had hoped and planned to, I was very blessed to have my loving parents with me to share my joy (and stresses and sorrows LOL!).
Moving out of my last rental was also quite an emotional milestone - it was the first house where I was truly independent, where I fell in love for the first time in my life. Saying good-bye to the scene of those memories was kind of hard, but I'll hold them close to my heart.

So, without further ado, here's a pictorial of my move!
The "essentials" in the back seat of my car - a working GH controller and the Nespresso machine, with pods. All set to ensure my sanity is maintained on arrival! |
The obligatory "Oh shit we forgot about THAT cupboard" moment, where you're doing the "last minute" check and realise you left shit out that needs to get into a box...STAT! |
Extremely dodgy photo of my backside as I open up the house for the first time :D |
Sharing a glass of the red that Ray White so kindly gave me when I picked up the keys, with my long suffering moving helpers (otherwise known as parents!) And if you've read this far, props to you too! Thanks for sharing my moving excitement! |
Nothing more special than realising you own a little patch of something :)
