Dont be fooled by what you see on shows such as House Hunters. They definitely make it look easy.

The entire home buying process is very long and tedious, but I kind of knew that going in so I expected much worse than what we experienced. Im getting questions from people asking if our decision to move was a sudden decision because not long ago, I was talking about painting my white cabinets and my kitchen renovation.

No. It was not sudden. Matter of fact, this is something wed been planning for the past year and a half or so. It was put on a brief hold at one point, but moving was always in the back of our minds.

So what was wrong with the first home? Its not so much about what was wrong with it. It was a nice starter, cozy home with beautiful memories I will forever hold on to. We painted walls together and renovated our kitchen cabinets and etc, but deep down I always knew that it was not the home I wanted our children to grow up in for many reasons, but mainly, because of the school district. Those are things you do not think much about before having kids, but once children are in the picture, these things become a priority. So I wanted a new home in a specific school district. Also, there were many things here and there that I wanted to change or renovate that made more sense if we just moved and upgraded.

Many other reasons to add to the list that I will not go into details, but long story short, we decided that if we moved, the house had to be it-The Forever Home. I wanted something move in ready that did not need much work. We had a very specific list, and Im glad to say that we checked off everything on that list and then some.
