SOLD!

poppin' bottles; keys; their new room; first things first, privacy! :)

We took the plunge and signed our lives away. Well for the next 30 years that is. To say that the last few weeks have been a little chaotic in our parts is an understatement. Buying a home is an emotional roller coaster I tell you!

Really quick, TWO things people don’t tell you when buying a home:

1.       Forget the time frame you’re told from day one in escrow
-          There are so many different people working on your folder (so to say) getting paper work back and forth, just one person can keep things from moving forward so it’s best not to get your hopes up…it’s a bonus if you close on your projected closing date.
2.       Once you sign the final loan docs you do not receive the keys seconds after
-          We were told that so many times we had our hopes up, come to find out the forms had to go back to the escrow office and then taken to the recording office so we could receive our keys (this is where that ONE person, of course, took their sweet time =|)

But once you do get the call to pick up your keys to your brand new home…it’s worth all the stress, sweat, getting your credit score up and tears. ;)

Family, friends and blogger-buddies, I introduce you to our new home…

Isn't she pretty?! :)


And so it begins...let's put those pins on my pinterest boards to work!

I'd also like to make a shout out to the amazing Melissa @ Melissa Rose Designs. Not only did she create my rad blog layout, she offered *free* signature lines to all of her Facebook fans as a thank you (see mine below)! She really is the best!! She's now extended the offer all of you as well! Click on the link above, like her on FB and you will be able to snag a rad signature line as well...the offer is only good till 1/15/13 so go now!

VnL House Hunt: So it Begins!

via


Just got an email that ended like this:

"I believe it is time to start shopping for a home J"

OH-EM-GEE!!! Is this finally happening?!? We have been working for months now on our credit and getting to where we need to be to start our search for our first home and we are finally there! I can see the light! 

Excuse me while I enjoy this moment. I need to enjoy it now because I know this will be a long bumpy road. I'm embracing myself for it now that way if/when we are hit by some roadblocks or speed bumps the impact won't be so bad. 

I would love any pointers anyone has that have been through this already or are going through this process right now. Buying your first home is kind of a huge deal...we would love to hear any suggestions for the process.

(def buying one of these when we get the keys)



Sooooooo excited!
