Well guys, if you've been keeping up with the blog this week, you know that Ben and I have decided to post-pone our parenting process. This has been an extremely emotional decision, but with that comes a new level of respect and love in our relationship due to us being able to discuss things that are harder to talk about. With all of these things in mind, we've also been able to evaluate other aspects of our life - buying a house being one of them! We're buying a house!!! Obviously we are newbies to this process, but we feel very fortunate in the fact that we have friends who have recently gone through this process, supportive family, and we've chosen a great realtor to help us on this journey.
We are looking to buy in the Liberty, MO area so that my commute is a bit shorter, but we are still close to the city and our families! We are hoping to find a 3 bed, 1.5+ bath, 1+ car garage in our price range. While we probably won't be in this home forever, we would like a little room to grow eventually. With that said, we are going into this open minded, knowing that we will NOT be buying our dream home as our starter house. It's just not realistic. Sure, we'd love defined dining space! Sure, we'd love a basement with a family room and/or a bonus room for crafting and such! Will we get those? Who knows. Either way, we're excited! We are excited to have a space that is ours, with grass that is ours, and decorations that we've picked! This just seems like the natural next step for us! On Sunday, we went to an open house at a home we are interested in (thanks for going with us, Stacey!) and we are going out with our realtor TONIGHT to start looking at the other eight houses we have our our short list! Wish us luck!
I'm planning to keep track of our journey to being homeowners here on PDC. I hope you'll all follow along as we take this big step. Planting roots in KC for a while, y'all! See ya next time!!
