Tonight Mr. Hall and I received great news that our landlord found tenants for our current apartment.
This was such a HUGE relief to know that we won't have to pay rent AND our first mortgage payment in the same month.
Now, don't get me wrong, we could definitely swing paying for both, but as you'll soon find out - I'm kinda a money-saving enthusiast.
Here's a quick overview:
For the past three years Mr. Hall and I have been extremely focused on getting ourselves out of debt. Debt that included university degrees and living expenses, a part of our wedding, a new car, and a few non-necessities too. So for the last few months we've lived in the bliss of being debt-free and saving for all those grown-up things that we've been dreaming of. Our tenacity and financial-saavy-ness enabled us to save enough money for a down payment. We are so proud of ourselves to be able to say that we bought our first home by working at it together!
So here we are - ten sleeps away from taking possession of our first home. It's incredibly exciting, undoubtably nerve-wracking, and completely full of dream and wonder of what's to be!
So as you can see I'm very excited that I'm going to be a homeowner. I thought this would be a fun way to share my journey and all that it entails (at least in my world). I hope to touch on:
- Financing
- Real Estate
- Economy
- Moving
- Decorating
- Cleaning
- Maintenance
- Memories
The list goes on...
While I'm very excited to get IN our house and get settled (and okay, I'll admit it, decorate too), I feel that there are so many different dimensions to this process. It's so easy to get overwhelmed with the entire process. With that being said, I thought that this would be a great opportunity to share my experience with others and a fun way to document my journey.
With that being said, follow me on my journey, as I nest my house into a home!
