Closing on our house April 30th
I'm so nervous. This is my first time buying, the house we live in now is my FI house he bought 7 years ago. I just stress that something is going to go wrong and we won't end up in a new house. The house we live in now is a starter house. Something my FI bought when it was just him and his daughter, its a decent ranch 3 bedroom but no basement and only 1 floor. We have 6 people living there! Me and my 3 kids moved in about 3 years ago and we just desperately need an upgrade. Our kids now range from ages 14-8 and its getting too crowded. The house we are buying is a 2 story ranch, 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom, finished basement. So much more room for us to spread out in. The backyard is fenced in which is really nice. The yard we have now is HUGE but not fenced in and our neighborhood isn't the greatest so there really isn't much for our kids to do. The new house is close to the school they would be attending, close to my job and gym I attend and close to everything in town, near the mall, major restaraunts, grocery stores etc. It such a huge relief knowing we'll have a better neighborhood to live in and a bigger house but I'm still so nervous something will come up in the next month to prevent us from getting it.

It is definitely emotionally draining buying a house. My husband and I are closing on our house on May 3rd. The program we're going through is so strict that I'm surprised they didn't ask us for our first born. It's not even the bank requirements it's
