Our Home

My husband and I are homeowners! In January, we started the process of getting approved for a home loan and getting ourselves a Realtor. We also went to many open houses and looked online at houses until our eyes bled.

We looked at around 30 houses throughout the entire process, and it was an emotional ride. We fell in love with a couple houses, only to find out there was already an offer pending before we could even make one. It's hard to not get too invested into a house when you finally find one that works. As fun as it is to shop for houses, it can be stressful as well. It helped that we were not in a huge hurry to find a house, we wanted to take our time and really find the right house to fit our needs.

So we continued to look for houses, and on a random weekend we went to an open house and found a house we absolutely loved. It was a ranch style house, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, deck and patio, a large backyard, fireplace, and three-stall garage. It was pretty much everything we wanted in a house and we fell in love with it. So, learning from our past mistakes, we called out Realtor on a Saturday afternoon and told him about this house. We went back and looked at the house that evening, and by the next morning we had an offer made.

Needless to say, we got the house! We started cleaning the house the first weekend in April and started moving things in after that. We are all moved in now and enjoying having a house. The only thing that could make it better would be some warmer, sunny weather so we could actually enjoy the deck and patio. However we are getting good use out of the fireplace! Here are some pictures of our house.
