I really hope you all like hearing about home improvement stuff, because for the next few months, I'm going to be talking about it a lot!
We have some stuff that has to be done before we move in, such as the carpeting, painting, and kitchen appliances. We needed to price everything, so we headed to Lowe's this evening. We found everything we needed, and got some paint samples. I am SO SICK of white walls!!!
Here's a sneak peek at our kitchen:
That's the cabinet hardware we chose.
Considering we haven't closed on the house, I'm going to stop talking about it now so I don't jinx it.
So, Brittany's post about Twitter convinced me to pull my dusty Twitter profile out of the attic and try it on again. I am now addicted. You should alllll be Twittering and Tweeting with me. Really. If you were following me on Twitter, you would know that I pretended to ice skate around my house last night. Or that I swing 2-year-old's around with scarves. If you want to follow me or join Twitter and try it out, there's a box on my sidebar that you can click on.
Quite a few of you have commented on wishing you could own a home. It just might be more of a possibility than you think. I really didn't think we were ready either. But... we got a normal home loan through a bank, a fixed interest rate of 5.5% on a 30-year loan.... and we got it on one income. Everyone knows their specific situation and ability so I'm not saying everyone can own a house. But you would really be surprised. I encourage everyone who wants to own a home but isn't sure if they can to go talk to the mortgage specialist at your bank. Please send me an e-mail or leave me a comment if you have a question about anything. I'm learning quite a bit throughout this process.
I'm going to try to fall asleep early for once. Have a great night!
