Well, we did it. We finally became homeowners! And we've been in our new house just over a week now.
It seems so surreal. This was something my husband and I have been working toward for over three years. First it didn't work out because I was fresh out of college and didn't have the credit history. Then, it didn't work out because my husband had bad credit marks. But finally, finally we were pre-approved and signing papers within the month following.
I didn't expect things to move that quickly. In fact, I didn't expect to find the house of our dreams period. With some online and offline searching we narrowed our search from about 17 homes to just 3 and from there we chose the one we thought we could grow the most in.
So, we loaded up and headed south to our little acreage in the country.
A 3 bed, 2 bath beauty in need of a little love both inside and out.
We got lucky and were able to paint a little prior to moving in. Thanks again to all the family and friends who helped make that process only two days instead of a week. :)

While there's still boxes to be unpacked, bills to be paid, and decorating to be done. I'm truly looking forward to making this house into a home and having family and friends over for BBQs, bonfires, and birthday parties.
Cheers to the next chapter in our lives. :)
