A House Turned Home

Tweet

Alhumduillah, two LONG years after we first saw this house... we closed on our new home today!

After seeing many (and i mean MANY - like well over a hundred), we stumbled across a great house two years ago. The house was probably the first one that we all sort of liked... and more importantly it was a house that would work for us!!

It seemed to good to be true, and was proven rightfully so when we found out it was a short sale (hence the two year wait). Many times it seemed like it wouldn't work out and, that we were wasting our time, that it wasn't meant to be... but alas! 

The house needs a lot of work, so we aren't moving just yet - but just the thought of packing (and even worse -- unpacking) is making me exhausted.

Inshallah, there will be many great memories in this new house for us.


P.S. Don't forget to leave me a comment below on your thoughts! As always, I'd love to hear from you.

Moving Day!

Tomorrow is Moving day! We sold our house in Edison and are moving to Piscataway for a year or so as we look for a permanent home.

All the packing and work involved has me exhausted... its especially hard with exams and school work to keep up with! :( Packing like the worst chore ever ( at least for me) because you have to unpack everything too!

So far when ever we have moved, we have moved to a different country ... so it's weird moving and staying so close at the same time. Being closer to college will definitely make things easier.

I am definitely going to miss this house though... as its full of memories (not all of them good).

Top good memories from this house:
1. High school graduation!
2. Starting College.
3. Family memories (and get-togethers).
3. Going to a law program in D.C.

Not so good memories:
1. Fire.
2. Dad's heart attack.
3. Car accident.
