I posted my bucket list at the end of January hoping to finally motivate myself to get some things done. For me.. once I get some things down and out there… I’m more determined to do exactly what I want and need in my life, because now I feel like I am accountable since its floating out in the world.
2 weeks after that post went live, my husband and I met with a realtor to first of all.. make sure we were in a great place to start looking to buy a house. We had been saving, planning, and getting our credit score as high as we could so that we’d be in the best place we could. We were ready. We looked at about 15 houses that weekend (between Saturday and Sunday) and had 2-3 houses on our list that we loved. But we had trouble deciding. By the time we decided.. the one we wanted was already in contract. Sucked.
Of course, there was still one more house on our list that we kind of thought was out of our range. It was called a “spec house” meaning someone built the house to their specifications but when it came time to close, their financing fell through. The house had been sitting empty for almost a year and we had the chance to scoup it up. Our hesitation was more about whether or not we could afford a brand new house. Once we went through everything including financing, taxes and all that, we decided to take the jump. A new house was never what we thought we could have but it was in the cards for us.
2 weeks ago, we moved in. This is part of the reason why I haven’t been very active in social media and on my blog. Packing takes a lot out of your life. But that’s not all.
I am also Pregnant!
I knew when the bucket list post went live that I was already about 4 weeks pregnant. But we had already been trying for about a year and it wasn’t something I was ready to announce.
So its been almost 3 months, and I’ve knocked 2 things off my bucket list already. What have you done so far in 2015?
