I am a Homeowner!

As of Monday, February 4, I am officially a homeowner.

I've waited over a year for this moment! The closing process was relatively short. I half expected to be there for 2+ hours but it only took about an hour. I literally signed my name about 100+ times. With the grants I received, it made for a ton of more paperwork. With all that said and done, I own an apartment!

This morning, I went to Ikea to start the process of renovating the kitchen/living room. In its current state, it is not very functional. There is no oven (just a cooktop...who does that?) and it's very cramped. My hope is to make it a functional space that I can cook my Pollo Guisado or my Arroz y Gandules in. My plan is to have all the work done by Spring Break and take advantage of the time off to move in and buy anything else I need. Let's hope things go according to plan!! I'll keep y'all posted!

P.S. Tonight is my first official Cooperative Board meeting!
