Hello Blogging World! Andrea here, and blogging is my new adventure. My husband Ryan and I have just embarked on the long and arderous road of home ownership and are currently in the process of buying a 1938 brick facade colonial in downtown Historic Phoenix. We are in love… but boy has it been a tough journey to this point. And we are not even at closing yet, that blissful day is June 30th. Stay tuned for the excitement and work that follows. The house is old but we have grand hopes and dreams for making it a fabulous tribute to everything we love, old and new.

We have a list of things already to get done before closing, who knew before buying house you need so many things, here’s our list for before June 30th:

1. Get buyer’s addendum signed by sellers.
2. Get trim painted for FHA approval.
3. Have roofing estimates done.
4. Submit appraisal and inspection sent to home owner’s insurance.
5. Sign all the paperwork.
6. Wait, wait, wait, wait some more.
7. Finally get keys!

I’m sure there is more that I am forgetting but I am just praying and hoping that it all goes smoothly and that this bank-owned beauty becomes Ryan and I’s beautiful new home. Thank for reading, I’ll post pictures of our home soon!

Cheers!
