We did it! We finally did it!

We bought a house.

Lately, I haven’t had much time to write, but I’m stealing a few minutes so I can share some amazing news!

We did it. We finally did it! Veni and I bought a HOUSE! We are so happy and grateful. I truly believe we’ve found the right place for us. The house is so romantic and has everything we need — even more.

We had a hard time with the bank loan (the process was painfully slow), but we made it! We’re so, so happy! We’ve started cleaning it — it’s a complete mess. The house is old — it was owned by two families before us. The second floor is in worse condition than the first. But we have a garage, a summer kitchen, and enough space for a lovely garden.

I’ll share all the details soon. Right now, I have a lot of work, and in our free time — which is very limited — we go to the house to clean. It’s a huge challenge for us, but also a big step for us as a family.

My OCD is under control, even with all the stress around me. I’m really glad I’ve managed to keep the intrusive thoughts away. To be honest, I simply don’t have time for them. I know from experience that they usually come when I’m calm — once the stress begins to fade. But that won’t be anything new for me.

Just another small challenge I know I can handle.
