It is quite ridiculous that I haven’t posted on my blog in 3
months. I apologize because it’s exactly
what I didn’t intend but on the other hand, I wasn’t making much of an effort
to keep it going. I have been cooking
regardless but nothing too fun to write about.
What has been keeping me busy is I’ve been going through the process of
purchasing a house. That not only takes up my time after work when I would
love to write my blog but it takes up most of my brain cells from the
stress. Ohhhhh stress, how I have not
missed you.
Matt and I both decided that after my lease was up in my
apartment in March that we would get a place together and as the time crept up
on us we started to think that purchasing a home instead of renting might be
the best idea. That got my wheels going
and I started to talk to my friends that owned homes and I went to the library
to borrow “Home Buying for Dummies”. I
contacted several mortage lenders to see if I qualified for a loan. (Yes I did, YAY!) and then started searching
in Lexington for my dream starter home.
I found a Realtor that seemed to be nice enough and I ran with it. Matt and I spend several weekends looking at
houses that I found in our price range with our requirements: Three bedrooms
and 2 full baths. I had to have room for
future babies… Lexington is on the
expensive side of houses in Kentucky unfortunately but I was happy with most of
what we found.
We found a house that we loved. You can googlemap it is you like: 3405
Woodspring Dr, Lexington, KY 40515. I
told the Realtor I was ready to put an offer in after looking at it twice and that’s where the fun
began. Did I say fun? I meant not-fun. Between the seller, the loan people, the
realtor, it was a long January. The
seller is trying to get the most for his money, I’m trying to get the most for
my money and it’s hard to meet in the middle.
We’re getting there, I think. I
am flabbergasted over some things that have happened such as my realtor giving
me wrong information and not knowing information that I ask that I thought a
realtor that’s been in the business for 10 years would know. But, it’s been a great learning experience
and if everything goes as planned, I will be closing at the end of
February. If this falls through, I know
I will be upset and it will probably take me a few weeks to get motivated
again, but let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
Do you have any fun house stories you'd like to share? Anything that would be good to know before I close?
Until then!
