It appears that FI and I will be closing on our very own townhouse on August 22! It will be the first home either of us has owned and seeing as how we have been living with my parents since November, it is a very welcomed change. It is a great small starter home where we can live modestly as we start our new lives so that down the road maybe we can live a little more extravagantly (not really our style but we'll just need more room when the family grows). We got a great deal and will be paying hundreds less a month than if we rented an apartment half the size. It is also in a great spot so that when we outgrow it, it will be easy to rent as it is near several universities. We figure it will be a good place for us until there is a baby #2 (and we figure we are 3 years from a baby #1 and then will space them a little anyways). We are so excited and just changed all our registries from pretty wine glasses and such to practical things like tools and such haha. I think I may be temporarily insane for throwing this on our plates with the wedding only 50 days away but it'll be great to come back from the HM as man and wife and have our very own place.
