settlement day is here!


Hip hip hooray!!! Settlement Day is finally here. This is definitely one of the scariest but exciting things that has ever happened to us. It is simultaneously exhilirating and gut-wrenching. What have we gotten ourselves into? What if we make a mistake? What if we choose the wrong colour carpet or cause the apartment above to tumble down on us in the middle of the night? We ask each other these questions every single day, but we keep reminding ourselves that this is our opportunity to make a life for our family, and that there is no way of failing if we listen toour instincts, listen to our hearts and do it together every step of the way.

settle petal

Yesterday was supposed to be Settlement Day, but unfortunately we have hit a bump in the road, and the 'giving of keys' ceremony has been delayed until further notice. We have been looking forward to this day for exactly six weeks, and now we must keep waiting until the seller is ready. Massive bummer! And they don't even get penalised... so unfair. Lucky we're not forking out hundreds in hotel rooms fees or paying huge amounts of rent at the moment, and so we can wait... but not for long. Hurry up!!!
