So much has been happening recently (welcoming the first baby in our group, selling the condo, friends’ weddings and more) but I just haven’t had time to sit down and blog about it! I must make time though, so here I am during my lunch break, typing away! Hmmmmm….. which to start with first?!?!?!
The condo!
Our home from 2009 to 2014! We made so many wonderful memories there!
- It was our first place together
- Our first time ever having the police knock on our door (darn neighbors filed a noise complaint and it was not even 10 pm!)
- It’s where the Mr. proposed
- We had Dexter marathons with my friends
- and so much more!
It was a great starter home for us. But, I knew when my parents and I first bought it that it was only temporary. I had bigger plans down the road to obtain a house once we saved up enough money. I wanted the white picket fence, yard, dogs and the whole nine yards! In 2014, we were finally able to buy our first single family home! Boy was that a roller coaster ride but with a sweet ending!
We held on to the condo for another 2 years so we could fix it up before selling it. Good ol dad was the one who did all the renovations himself! He truly is a master handy man, even if it takes him years to finish a project! The end result is always worth the wait (mom may say otherwise though hehe) ;)
While I’m extremely happy and grateful that the condo is sold, it is still bittersweet. After 5 years of living there and as much time and effort that my dad put into fixing it up, it really became a piece of me! None the less, on Friday September 2nd, we officially bid adieu to the condo! We wish the new owners, whom I nicknamed “Queenie,” all the joy and happiness as they start their new life in a lovely condo!
With the condo being sold, there was only one thing left to do….. CELEBRATE! The Mr. and I went all out – with a fancy feast at Morimoto’s! We ordered appetizers, salad, sushi, main entrée, dessert and coffee! The best part was – all that only cost us $40 because we had a gift card! Now that’s WINNING!
