I feel lost and excited at the same time

This house buying business is exciting and scary times, all at the same time. So, I have been filling my spare time with pinterest projects for our new home. I know I haven't updated in a while, and all my updates have been were projects. So here is a big update: Dh and I dropped the contract on what seemed like our dream house for something I would have NEVER dreamed we could afford. So we placed a contract on said home. Our contract was excepted, and we are moving fifty times faster than the previous. So grateful. 

(This is our soon-to-be new home)
When dh and I were planning on building our home, this is the front I wanted so badly. However, it is almost a $10,000 upgrade because of all the brick. So we chose the cheapest of the cheapest, and we were still nearly $45,000 more than we could afford. However, this home (while it is sad for the previous owners) is a foreclosure. I am excited to say that, after baby G wakes up today (and eats her breakfast) we are going and turning the water on for the de-winterization process. Which ultimately means we can set up our inspection. How exciting? Do you have any advice for first time home buyers?

  1. Wow! Looks like a beautiful home! We also bought a foreclosed home here in Cleveland, OH. Ours was a complete fixer-upper though. We are still remodeling 3 years later and it has probably been way more of a hassle than anything. But, I can't complain because we do own a home and thats a blessing. Congrats on yours! Enjoy!
