Hello, Again!

Hello! It's been so long! Well, I have some tremendous news... I'm officially a home owner!!! I'm sooo excited to be living in it. I love my house! Also, i've been thinking about this blog and the content, and I have decided that I am just going to be me. Not that I haven't been me, but i've been a follower to an extent. I imagine i'm not the only one in the blog world, but I found a blog a love and started reading, and it shaped what I decided to post on, well... not anymore.. so much. I mean I might post similar stuff like pinterest picks, favorite products, diys (of originality, not copying :)  ), and etc. Also i'm going to keep posting my usual stuff- finances, music, my life, and etc. I'm also going to start posting about my favorite subject, my need and love for my savior, Jesus! I can't shy away from it, He is my life. I won't be overly churchy though, don't worry. I just want to be me!
Also, the blog re-design is going well,  i'm still working on a few things for it. I would like to keep it simple.
Well, I guess that's all for now. I'm going to dream up some plans for my new house.
OH and my house hunting story will be one of my next post, I love talking about houses and want to share my experience, any advice I have, and things i've learned!
Talk to you soon!

House Hunting

Hello! Guess what!?!?!?! I may be buying a house soon! I'm oh so excited! I met with the mortgage company, now to look at houses and start the whole process I actually started about a year ago. I'm also kinda nervous. Is home ownership something I can really do? And financially? Despite all of my possible questions, i'm pretty confident. and of course the freedom of doing whatever I want to the house makes everything worth it too. With that said, i've been pinning things a lot on pinterest for home ideas. Here's some things I hope to in some ways to incorporate into my new home-

Love this simple and pretty dining room. My favorite is the stone wall (maybe a fire place?). In reality, I have my heart set on similar purple chairs from Ikea. Though i'll be buying one at a time because I think they are close to $200 a chair :).

 

I would love to have a library, or at least start out half office half library. What I like about this is more the organizing of the books by color. So fun. I actually organize by what the book is about- money, cooking, inspirational, etc.

The type of house i'm looking for is either a craftsman, cape cod, or ranch. I like certain things about each one. What I like about this house is the front porch and the house it self. Which I haven't found something similar in my area but i'm open as long as it's cute, on a street with a good name, in a nice neighborhood, fenced in yard, garage, near a library and a park, and so much more.

House buying is fun and tough. Nothing of what the HGTV show house hunters shows, lots more work involved. Speaking of HGTV, i wonder what they have for full episodes. Anyways, i'll be pinning a lot more house ideas from now on!
Well time for bed so I can get up on time for church in morning! 

Night-
