Our First Home

Things have been busy around here! On top of our regular busyness, Brennan having to go back to Columbus for a work training, me starting my Pilates certification, and getting rear ended yesterday, we've been looking for our first house for the last few months.

 

I remember trying to buy a couch after we first got married. At the time, that was the biggest deal ever. We searched for MONTHS before finally making a decision. I remember feeling so good about the sectional we ended up with from the moment I saw it, and Bren was soooooo hesitant about it. In fact he put off getting it for a month. Now there isn't a day that goes by that Bren doesn't say, "I love our couch so much" and I totally laugh inside.

 

Then I remember about a year ago when Bren's car was on its last leg and it was time to car shop. I remember thinking THAT was frustrating and time consuming. I remember Brennan telling me one day that he just needs someone he knows to sell their car to him. A few hours later my mom sent me a link to a KSL ad and said that my good friend Kaitie's sister was selling her car. We still believe that wasn't a coincidence.

 

As we have been looking at houses these past few months-- sometimes from 3 pm to 10 pm with our realtor, exploring all our options, feeling hopeful some days and hopeless others, Brennan would keep telling me, "It will work out, it always does!" But I didn't know if I believed him this time.

 

...Until we were looking seriously at an area, but looked across the street one day and saw a sign that looked like something that might be a perfect fit for us.

 

Long story short, I fell on the floor and fainted in the model home. Our realtor and my husband were not very happy with me and it may have made negotiations a little harder but hey, it all worked out, just like Brennan told me all along ;)

 

We are now proud/happy/stressed/scared first time owners of a little dirt and a little concrete. 

 

Here's to everything happening for a reason--
