About this blog

My husband JF and I are in the process of buying our first home. Although, all the literature out there suggest we do this with a cool head and make decisions based on different lists of needs and wants, resale value, and budget; we simply fell in love with a new development and a specific house.

As we try to figure out all the steps and complexities of buying a new home and especially a new construction, hubby and I have come to terms with the fact that we are going to make tons of mistakes, have to tighten our belts financially, and sacrifice a few of our luxuries to get our dream home. Instead of crying over our naiveté and ‘noobishness’, we figured the least we could do is share our story so others could learn from our mistakes and hopefully our good choices. I’m also thinking this may be therapeutic for me, so expect a few vents and rants as we move along in the process.

As we go along, please feel free to comment, give us advice or simply share your story.

Yours truly,

JF and Pam
