open house anniversary
It was one year ago* that we saw the inside of our new home for the first time!
(*Technically the open house was on on April 10th, but it was a Saturday, so it's kind of like both days count? That's what I'm going with.)
I have (and had) very little understanding of what was happening throughout the entire home-buying process. Like, I understood it at a global level -- you look at the house, you make an offer, things happen, you close, you move in -- but none of the details. There were a lot of them? I definitely grasped that part.
Our agent was great and explained things many times, but it turns out that you don't actually have to know what's going on? I was skeptical of this, but it was astonishingly true. Home-buying is, apparently, like plumbing -- it's really best to get an expert involved, and they'll get it done while you stand around going, 'wow, that seems really complicated.'
