First time home buyers are so much fun to watch jump through the myriad of legal and financial hoops, mostly cuz it reminds you of when you had to do it yourself. It only happens once in your life - and those of you that have had the experience can attest to the fact that the range of emotion one goes through is damn near nauseating. But it's a moment in your life your not likely to forget... and one you want to savor for as long as you can.
The real pay-off is when everyone leaves (after they've helped you lug all your sh*t across the city and up three flights of stairs) and you crank the tunes and start pulling your stuff out of boxes and putting it all together in your space - that's the magical moment.
So, since a friend of mine is doing exactly this this weekend, might I be so bold as to offer up a simple playlist for the first time home buyer... music to unpack your boxes to. It's happy music - just bop yer head and settle in - it'll take a month to wipe that damn smile off your face :)
