WE GOT PRE-APPROVED
FOR A LOAN! Thank you everyone for your prayers and thoughts! We are on our way
to buying our first home!
I’m so excited I
don’t know what to think. Tomorrow we are meeting up with our relator to start
looking at some houses.
We are looking for a
3 bedroom 2 bath with a good size backyard for Gunny and hopefully something
not needing too much updating. At this point we are really ready to move but we
are going to make sure we make a thoughtful decision about location, price,
size, and quality.
After I got off the
phone with our lender my initial reaction was shock but then I got really
excited, then I got nervous.
This is a HUGE
investment and this is a lot of money! I
know we have done our budget but it is a lot to take on besides mortgage and
taxes. What if something breaks? We don’t own a fridge, grill, guest bed, lawn
mower, etc etc etc! We will obviously
spread out these big purchases and we have saved for these kinds of things but
the time is here, it is actually happening!
It is hard to not try
and rush because our rent is up this month and we are going to start paying month-by-month
rent instead of signing another 6-month lease. When you do month-by-month the
lease goes up about $15 more than normal.
We are ready to stop
spending money on rent and start investing in owning our own home. I will keep you updated throughout the rest of this process!
Side note, Jordan and I got to meet up today on this beautiful Saturday and catch up for the first time in person since she became a married woman ;) I am so excited for her and Daniel (I get so gitty when it comes to marriage hehe) We are planning some fun and helpful tips for the upcoming holiday season so be sure and check back!
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures
forever—do not abandon the works of your hands.
