BUYING A HOME
I spent last summer with my aunt in California. She bought a home out there about two years ago and is still in the process of arranging it and setting everything up. I went out there to help her with it, but I mostly went so that I could spend a summer in California. It’s a large house with two floors, a basement, and an incredible backyard area. She plans on getting a swimming pool put in within the next year, but for now she has an amazing hot tub out there. She had pretty much all the furniture she needed, but she wanted me to go shopping with her for some walk-in closet organizers for her master bedroom and the second bedroom. The two bedrooms upstairs had walk-in closets, while the two downstairs didn’t. The master bedroom is the only one with its own private bathroom, even though there are two more bathrooms in the house; one on the second floor and one on the first floor. I typically hate going shopping, but I thought it would be really nice for me to help her accessorize her home a bit. Besides, she had been so generous with me already. The least I could do is assemble and arrange some organizers for her.
