So, we've managed to save money for a down payment on a house. Last year we went from having nothing in savings from having Evelyn, and my Husband's self-employed job was so slow we had no income for a couple months, now we saved money with me going back to work AND taxes! Once DH gets back home (hopefully next week!!!!) we will be applying for a home loan. I am so excited since this was our big plan before we had Evelyn. We are back on track now. Paying off a few minor debts and hoping to start house shopping.
We aren't in the buying process just yet....probably in a couple months. I hope this house stays on the market long enough for us to make an offer. We have a realtor my husband does remodels for and he's keeping a watch on this one for us. We have a list of things we have to have, but this house is big enough with 4 bedrooms, and the backyard is HUGE! We could do so much with it! There is a sidewalk path on the cul-de-sac that goes straight to the elementary school. it's clean and well taken care of, but we can update the counters and put our own personal touches to make it ours. I'm already attached, how sad is that?!!!
