I wanted to be a homeowner for a long time before it finely happened, but when it did, it was more perfect that I could ever have imagined.

I had come to a place in my life where I felt like I was about to explode from bottled up creativity. I felt like having my own space would give me an outlet for all this pent-up energy. 

I made a list of things that were important to me in a house, and just like everything else in my life did my best to turn it over to a higher power. 

We looked at a variety of places in a variety of locations, but nothing felt quite right for us. 

Month after month passed by.

Then out of nowhere a couple places came up that sparked our interest. 

We decided to make an offer on a larger house about a half hour away from where we currently lived. 

The evening before we were going to put in our offer, a listing popped up for a little condo located in the same complex we currently lived in. 

Not thinking much of it, we decided it wouldn’t hurt to take a look. 

I didn’t think I was going to like the place, because it was almost the same layout as the place we were currently renting. 

As I walked into the condo (our home) I was very surprised.

Even though it was pretty much the same space, it had some major differences. It was a corner unit located on a higher level with gorgeous views of the mountains on two sides and light erupting through them.

Light is something that was critically important to both my husband and me.
