In my hunt to find an apartment, my neighbor suggested buying property instead of throwing money away into renting. On a whim I was searching Craig's List for houses and found "Unique home for sale in suburbs". My jaw dropped.
It's a frickin' dome house! This house is located on a dead end street, around 600 sqft, even has a fenced in yard. Best of all- it is in my budget. I was almost jumping out of my skin in excitement going to tour the house. Coming up the walkway I was greeted by three big happy dogs, always a good sign. Turns out, I have met the owners and their adorable pack at the local dog park years ago! Their dog Balto is a doppelganger of my former foster, Kaiser (or is Kaiser Balto's doppleganger...). Small world or destiny?

The house is a little odd looking from outside (okay, it is kinda ugly)- but inside it is charming and spacious! The walls are composed of interlocking triangles, with triangle windows throughout. Much like the tiny house I was planning, the bedroom is lofted above the kitchen and the living area feels spacious with a high ceiling. The house also comes with a door into an H.P. Lovecraft universe...

Friday I mustered my courage and made an offer that is just contingent on the inspection. Now I'm just trying to keep my hopes in check incase the inspector discovers the house was built over a cursed burial ground or was built using a hot glue gun, that may be a deal breaker.
This house could be the perfect transition while I continue to work toward my tiny house on wheels, or I may even find myself happy to remain there for years. It is a tiny house after all! Curious, I had made the goal a few years back that I wanted to be moved into my tiny house before I turned 30. That goal seemed unreachable recently. This whirlwind seems designed more than coincidence, like God is pushing for me to get a tiny house too. I'm going to keep thanking him for it.
And that is how I bought myself a house on my 29th birthday.
