- Still haven't closed.
- If we close before June 12, I will be 23 and Steve, 24, when we officially become first-time homeowners.
- We looked at over 20 homes during our search, including really tiny ones and mansions that could have an entire floor devoted to roller skating. That's the West side for ya.
- Closed? Nope, not yet.
- We are working with a super agent named Wendy from Realty USA.
- Our house will have creative spaces for both Steve and I: his a music studio and mine a writing room. Come see our organ(s)!
- I almost backed out of seeing the house we wound up buying because I was busy and didn't think the listing sounded very interesting.
- My mom is giving us her old stove and refrigerator.
- Our new, tentative closing date is this coming Tuesday. Maybe Wednesday. Maybe never.
- The community aspect: we're inspired by these folks. And these folks.

Creative spaces are sooo important! Good to see you've made that a priority and best of luck with the closing.
So my wife and I have been following your blog and we have some questions about Naca. Do you have an email address that I can email you at? Mine is slater747@yahoo.com
Much appreciated!
Hello Whitney. This is Mike Wlos. I am not sure if you remember me from high school, but I just came across your blog and thought I would say hello. It's good to see you are alright...and investing back in the Queen City. I recently visited with a friend in Philly who lived with a girl about 2 years back named Natalie. They worked for a nonprofit in Vermont, and she mentioned she worked on a farm with you at one point...random/small world. Anyway, I like the blog...and the enthusiasm for the city. I have been in Denver for about two years now, but I am planning on moving back and purchasing a place. Thanks to people like you, I will now be provided with a lot of helpful information. Hope you are well, and stay safe.
Mike--Of course I remember you. I had forgotten though that you knew my friend Natalie from Hawthorne Valley Farm. She is a sweetheart, how random.
Good to hear you're looking into a home purchase in Buffalo. If you want any help or to just pick my brain some time, let me know. I've definitely learned a lot doing this and continue to learn every day. Do you know where you've looked?
