Update on "First Time Home Buyer"

Blog Posted:8/30/2007 11:03:00 AM

Well, I’m living the American dream. I have bought my first home. We moved in this last weekend. There is just so much to do. So many expenses I wasn’t expecting. I think we have been dreaming of buying a home for so long that now we are trying to do everything at once. We need to start pacing ourselves. Money is very tight and becoming non-existent. However I must admit that it is very nice to know that the house is mine. With all of the stress and hard work it is still nice knowing that I am investing in my own future and not throwing money down the drain. So, though there is still so much to do and the stress is overwhelming at times I am glad of the decision I have made. Now I just need to get though a month of paying all the new bills, so I can prove to myself that it can be done. At least with all the stress I have lost 25+ pounds. Not exactly the ideal way to do it but it feels nice all the same.

From your very tired friend,

Kirstie

Congratulations, indeed!! I remember buying my 1st house, and the closing was nerve wracking- I ran out of ink with 2 pens from all the checks I had to write out. Ah, but that first feeling of accomplishment is awesome. Best of luck, tom
