New Homeowner: Hold me

[auberge]

My cc bill is $6800 this month and this is not the half of it. (})

[hesitantbride]

So what did you buy?

[chessie]

uh, Hugs..it happens. I recall at the 6 month mark it was a lot more..

It happens!

How are you guys settling in? Is DS getting more comfortable?

[mbcdefg]

I've been there. There's so much stuff you just don't think about until you need it. *hugs*

And we're coming up on the one-year mark in our house and within the past few months we needed to fix the roof and take down a rotten tree in the yard.

It's definitely worth it to have a place of our own, but it still hurts to see the bills. Hang in there!

I am suffering with you. Painful.

Were still in boxes but doing a little bit everyday. My ds is adjusting pretty well. He loves playing in the bigger space and backyard. He is sleeping but refuses to take naps and is scared of the new bathtub. It will take time

Just keep reminding yourself that most of it is stuff that you won't have to buy again for a long time, if not forever!

Congrats on the new home! Once you get settled the spending will calm down

It's horrifying, huh?

I want to see pics! How's everything going so far?

It's been stressful. We just completed a bunch of work on house (wire update, painting, repair etc.) with more to come and living off of boxes is not fun.

Here is a pic of the front (the landscaping needs a little work as well but that's down the road):

Sounds like you bought fun stuff;)
We had to buy a new water heater at the beginning of the month, and this past weekend we had to pay to fix/clean the A/C unit and refill with freon. home repair bills suck...

I love it Auberge. Very nice!

[beachdweller]

I really like the design of the house!

My son was scared of the bathtub when we moved to a new house. He was 18 months at the time. Those bathtub crayons really helped, because he loved coloring the walls.
