why impatient people shouldn't buy houses

First off, thank you all to the moon and back for all the sweet tweets, comments, messages, etc over the past few days. It sure has been a whirlwind to say the least. Now that I am mature and twenty-three as of yesterday (ya right, mature and molly will never go together), I guess I can share all my big kid happenings. And now that I have a computer in front of me.

I shall start with the first big thing that came our way this week (other than both of our cars getting destroyed by the hail storm today-yikes).

We bought a house. 

A real life house. And we even get to mow our own grass, which in fact fiance was so excited to buy a mower and weed-eater for. Oh the things that make men excited. 

The home buying process is not one for people like me. Those impatient people who want things right then and there. No later. If I see something I really want, it's on. 

getting our room primed up! (and yes...we know our shorts are inside out ;))

The process started a couple months ago. We started out just looking for places to rent in the area. That process was a bit frustrating. There was nothing that we could find that was decent priced, in a good area, and somewhat "homey" as it was going to be our first casa when we got married. We were going to make it work, but weren't really thrilled with the options.

Then one day we found out a guy who works in the some company as Jeff was relocating for a job. We didn't really look much into it because there were no pictures of the house or anything and we just weren't ready (so we thought) to buy yet. Fwd to a few weeks later, Jeff received some pictures of the place in his e-mail. And from there it is was history. We looked at multiple places, to rent and to buy, and were still set on that house. The open concept, the location, and how we just kinda connected to it. Also, it was move-in ready but so many opportunities to upgrade and really make it our own. To grow into, as a family.

The realtor even told me you know within 7 seconds of being in the house if you love it or not, and I was sold. And sadly for me, it just wasn't that easy. After months of waiting...and waiting...and waiting, the keys are ours! 


Let the projects begin! I can't wait to officially move in after we get married in August!


Also a shout out to my parents for coming up here and slaving away painting, cleaning, packing, etc. We are so thankful for you guys! And I'm sure you will sleep very good tonight :)
