It’s ridiculous how finding a new place to live can be the most difficult part of house buying. Even long chains being broken by unreliable buyers, last minute drywall rot checks… these hazards are nothing on your significant other saying ‘oh, I didn’t realise that we were going to be so close to a school’.

Somehow, my extra-long-almost-two-year-engagement has reduced itself to just over two weeks. Sixteen days until “I do.” Seriously, where the hell has the time gone? My current mental state is on rotation, from excitement to anxiety to sheer panic to sadness that this (albeit sometimes stressful) life stage is coming to a close. (Of note: The […]
