We're doing it!

So after lots of discussion last night JR and I have decided we are going to go through with buying the house. We have to be here for 3 years which is one year more than I want to, but after some careful financial planning we have decided that this is the best route for us. We are going to put an extra amount of money in savings per month, and keep Logan here instead of sending him to daycare...unless I can find a really good paying job because we will putting Logan in private school when the time comes. The major reason I didn't want to be here longer than two years was because I dont want my children going to school here, so to remedy the problem we have decided that we will put him in private school, which will obviously be more expensive but also better for my kids. I am really nervous about the whole situation, but I also trust my husband. If he says this is what is best for us, then that's what we'll do. Anyway, I am excited that we will be home owners...I am even more excited that in three years we will hopefully be in our dream house. If we dont purchase this house, it could be 10 - 15 years before we are in our dream house...so I really think we are better off doing it this way! We have a really good interest rate on a 15 year mortgage. My biggest fear is getting stuck with the house and not being able to sell it. There are a lot of things that we want to fix up in the house, which I am excited about. I love projects!
