Six years ago today my husband and I did our 4th serious grown-up accomplishment. We sat down and signed away what felt like our life, and some of the scariest documents we had ever seen, but what turned out to be one of the most exciting things we did together. Although it was extremely intimidating and there were moments that felt like this was never going to happen, on March 28th, 2011, only 10 weeks after the birth of our second child, we bought our first house. I can still remember sitting there with butterflies in my stomach of severe excitement and also anxiety of what would happen to us if this all went south. There’s no guarantees in life, and so when you commit to a bank for the next 30 years of finances, you pretty much feel like you are signing your life over. Little did I know that owning our first home would inspire me to document all my transformations that resulted in starting this blog.
