Boo and I have had a recent run of bad luck, the last of which was our apartment being robbed at the end of January. Naturally they took all my jewelry and not just the expensive stuff, but the jewelry that was very special to me. After we filled all the required reports, and after feeling very angry at our crappy management company who are too cheap to install camera’s on every floor, we decided to make a move.

 Our family encouraged us to look at getting a mortgage, and now we are on our way to owning our first home. 

 Step 1: Get a pre-aproval for a mortgage. – check

Step 2: Find a house and make an offer. – check

Step 3: Home inspection. – check

Step 4: Have lawyer check over status certificate of condo corp.

Step 5: Move in.

One thing that amazed me about this entire process was that it happened so fast. From seeing a place on a Friday, we had our offer accepted by the following Sunday.

So now we wait, and wait, and think about paint colours. Red for the kitchen?
