My wife and I spent what seemed like forever looking for our new home. It was really difficult for us to make a commitment that big. We are well aware of the fact that we aren’t rich, and we knew that when we bought a new home we would have to live there, no matter what. We were scared that we would get into a thirty-year mortgage, and then decide we made a huge mistake. We didn’t know if we would ever find a place that we liked, and things started to seem hopeless. Then, we found our home. As soon as we walked in the front door we knew that this was the place for us. It was spacious and had all new and modern appliances. The neighborhood is awesome, and we totally got lucky with our neighbors. They are always there to give us great advice, like going to HomeSecurity101.com for our alarm system. We really feel like we hit the Jackpot of houses, and are so glad we held out for the right one. I’m really grateful we didn’t jump the gun early on in the search.
