Buying our first home

So we are so excited to be buying our first home. We have been renting a house for 5 years and are glad to finally be in a place where we can buy a home. We are due to close in less than 2 weeks. It has been a very long and aggravating process at times. Brett losing his job when he did set us back a little.
We first figured out how much we could afford and then we got up with a realtor who was able to help us find a few homes in our desired area and within our budget. We were able to narrow it down to the perfect little starter home for our little family. It's a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house that sits on a third of an acre in a nice neighborhood in Fuquay Varina. That will put us much closer to Brett's job and with in 5 miles of everything else that we do on a weekly basis.

It has been a long road of ups and downs through the whole offer, counter offer, earnest money, due diligence period, and all the other things that go along with buying a home. Now we are down to just a few things left (mostly dealing with the loan) before we can close. Everything is looking good for us to close on time.
Unfortunately that means we have less than 2 weeks to get our house packed up and ready to move to the new place. Hoping that we can get it all done in time, but it's proving to be a slow and stressful process. Can't wait until we are settled into our first home and can start enjoying our lives as home owners.
