~It's 2008 Baby~


How glad am I that 2007 is over??? Very! How invigorating has 2008 been so far...eh? No comment. Regardless, I am going to embrace the challenge and fight the gloom!!!

Oh the confusion!!! Neither of us have ever owned a home let alone go through the very long complicated process of the following:
  • Find a home we both like and is financially suitable for our Family.
  • Let that house coincide with a suitable location and desirable School district.
  • Shop around for a home loan with first time buyer advantage.
  • Go through first time buyers counseling in Lansing for 3 hours - we got off easy it was originally 8 hours!!!
  • Inspection/Appraisal/Septic - Yes, you pay them before you even sign the papers :)
  • Repairing things, big things, you found out needed to be fixed after the final inspection...argh.
Oh, but did I mention the BEST part that we are so VERY thankful for??? My Mother-in-Law (and Aunt-in-Law???) with their magical powers made it all happen.

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU

P.S. My 2008 resolution: to try and improve myself this year and enjoy
everyday...even the poopy ones ;)
