We had been expecting our second baby until fate took control and changed those plans. It was one of the hardest things I've had to deal with emotionally, the other being when my grandfather passed away only a month and a half earlier. He was more like a father to me and when I lost him it felt as though a part of me died. When we found out that we were pregnant, I thought of it as a gift from him to me, in order to help me deal with the emptiness I feel every day. It made us so happy, despite the fact that we weren't quite
On a Friday in October, it was confirmed that our lives were going to remain the same - a family of three. Feeling disappointed, frustrated, sad (just plain emotional), we decided to take a look at a house I had seen on a real estate site a few weeks ago to take our minds off of the news we had just received. It looked cute and cozy, with tons of potential and the best part was that it was affordable. It had almost every single thing on our "must have" list, plus a few perks (all of the appliances were included) that made the house even more charming to us. Very unexpectedly (and honestly, it was one of the most random things we've done), we were in love with this house and possibly wanting to put in an offer.
To make a long story short, we decided to put an offer in on the house (last night to be exact) and they accepted! Now we're just hoping that the inspection goes smoothly so we can get into the closing process. It's such a great feeling to finally know how all of those people we always watch on House Hunters on HGTV feel! Now I'm totally addicted to figuring out just how I finally want to decorate OUR own home!
Here's to the adventure on finding and making our first house - our home.
