Let the Fun Begin...

OK so it all started about two weeks ago. Our lease is up on this house and we have been kind of going back and forth for a while now on what we want to do with our lives as far as do we want to renew our lease?, or do we want to move back in to an apartment to save some money?, we really want to move to Utah sometime in the near future so we were seriously looking at that as most of you know and still plan to make that move some day, or should we try to buy this house? We were oh so confused and just couldn't decide. Well we talked about it and talked about it until we were blue in the face and finally decided that we wanted to meet with the real estate company that we are renting from and see what they wanted for this house and kind of learn a little more about the process of buying a house. So we had a meeting with the owner of the company a couple of Mondays ago and it went great! He talked with us for about 1 1/2 hours about the process of buying a house and all of the many elements that go in to that and he was very informative and answered all of our many questions that we had since we have never done anything this HUGE before. At the end of the meeting he told us to start by meeting with a mortgage company that he really liked to work with to see if we could even be approved for a loan so the next week she called us and began the process of checking our credit and all of that good stuff and we found out about three days later that we were approved! So we are well on our way to buying this house and we are super stoked about it! There are still lots of steps to take in this whole process but the first step has been made and it should be exciting what the future holds for us...More updates to come...
