House hunting!

Matt and I have talked about moving in together for a few months. Actually, its been an ongoing conversation but more emphasis has been put on the topic in recent weeks. Last week, we met with a realtor (who happens to be my second cousin) and also with a mortgage broker. We have been pre-pre-approved for a mortgage. As in, we know what we can afford and we just need to get some paperwork to the mortgage broker and then we will be officially pre-approved.

We have gone to a few open houses and have started to go see houses with my cousin. We have seen approximately 10 houses so far. Well, today we went out and fell in love with one of the homes that we saw! It is honestly exactly what we are looking for. 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and an attached 2 car garage. Plus, it has a front porch and a back porch, a cute backyard and is completely remodeled on the inside! It also has a finished basement. It is perfect.

I hope that this is the house for us, it is listed at the top of our price range but might be a little high for the house so we are hoping we can talk them down a little bit. Hopefully we can go back to the house with our parents this week and show it to them.

We definitely have had a little resistance from our parents. I am my mom's only child and she doesn't want me to leave her. But, this house is so loud all the time, especially with my 88 year old grandmother living here also. I am nervous about going to nights at work and how I am going to be able to sleep during the day. So, moving would be helpful. Also, Jacoby is growing out of control so he needs his own space where he won't bother my family.

Keep us in your thoughts that this works out for us!
