Richa Gangopadhyay Instagram – So….2021 has been off to a rocky start (to say the least) as we all somehow kind of expected the world to return to “normal” like a fairytale when the clock struck midnight on January 1st. I know that our country will heal and we just need to give ourselves some grace to get through these tough times.
All was not lost in 2020, as Joe and I celebrated a major milestone , something that has given us a new beginning…buying our first home! π‘
Joe moved to Portland just a little under 4 years ago, going from living with roommates in a cramped apartment during his Intel internship, to a swanky 22nd floor high rise apartment (that looked like the Death Star) overlooking the beautiful city, to me moving in with him to share that space, to a suburban house rental where we spent the last two Christmas’, to finally owning a beautiful home to call our own…and a dedicated fishing boat space Joe gets to call his own! (Biggest win ever π£π£πΌ) #IYKYK
We moved right after Christmas (which is why our tree was only up for a week and we didn’t bother putting up lights!) and have been slowly putting the home together. Joe and @mattbob7 (always comin through!) were the all-star muscle men who successfully hauled and transported a very full, 4-bedroom house worth of stuff (that I might have been responsible for filling the house with π ) over the course of just 3 days!
We are so excited to finally invest our time and energy into making this home unique, and especially looking forward to my favorite part: buying furniture according to my modern farmhouse aesthetic! First up: get rid of Joe’s bach pad couch!!! π€ I already have a long list of home projects to do, starting with re-painting the interior walls and exterior!
So excited to grow roots and a family here. π Here’s to the start of something new π₯
-Happy homeowners ππͺ΄
