Here Comes the Train

Kris and I took the dogs for a walk after I got off work today. We went through a good portion of the Nall Hills neighborhood that we live in and on our way back home we may have found the house of our dreams, the house of our REALISTIC dreams that is. Anyone can want to live in a four story mansion with an Olympic sized in-ground pool in the background, but Kris and I have found the perfect house for us...that we may actually be able to afford. It is absolutely gorgeous with hard woods to die for! The bedrooms are a bit small but the kitchen that came straight out of a Better Homes and Gardens magazine definitely makes up for it. It also has a brand new and fairly large deck, a stone fire place and a very spacious basement that could be easily finished. It is absolutely perfect...and now that we have found the house...all we have to do is get the loan.

As for the loan part....It's been a bit of a fear for us, we're afraid we won't be approved or we won't be approved for very much... and who even wants to think about debt with the economy the way it is right now...it can be scary business. But I guess that train is coming and we'd better jump on or watch our dream house speed away with it.

Sooooooo, on to the loan and serious financial part of our journey through life. Big steps for a newly wed couple. We are scared and excited and pumped and invigorated! Wish us luck as we continue to build an amazing life together!
