So just went back to check and found that I have been remiss in updating my journal with the good news that's going on.
Right before Christmas we went to see about a home mortgage. I honestly didn't think we had done enough work on our credit to qualify at this point but we figured why not try. Turns out we had managed to fix our credit and were pre-approved for a loan and then introduced to our real estate agent.
We went the day after Christmas to look at houses and saw some really nice homes but they were out of our price range. After talking with the real estate agent and putting my foot down to her about what price point we were looking for and that we were not going to go above that even if we were pre-approved for more we set a date to go talk to a couple builders today.
And we found the one we want. We signed the papers and picked out the tile and counters and brick.
And OMG we're getting a house! Our very own house built just for us. I'm so excited.
Seriously guys the kitchen is bigger than our current living room. I get a real honest to god kitchen.
Kitchen kitchen kitchen!
