How was your Publix savings this week? Let me know!

Sorry for the absence!!

Late last year our family started seriously looking for a home to call our very own. We had rented a house, after a scary cross country move. We enjoyed the quiet area of the city we moved to, and wanted to stay in that area. We went to look at a house, the day it came on the market. We were the first of 6 scheduled to view the house. We fell in love! I had to have this house! We submitted an offer that day. We heard from our Realtor the following day that our offer had been accepted. Another offer had come in, shortly after ours, but  our offer was only $200 higher! Apparently I wasn't the only one who had to have this house. We had already gotten a pre-approval letter from the bank, so everything was on the right track. If you have never purchased a house, retaining a mortgage is the most stressful situation a person can be in. Everyday the bank wanted something more. After 2 months, we were finally able to close and move in! Moving a household with 2 adults, 4 children (ages 17-12), and 3 dogs, is crazy! Especially when you have to keep track of things everyone needs for everyday life, work, school, etc. We are now unpacked, have gotten through the holidays, and 3 of the 6 birthdays for 2013. So I am back! I had a fabulous trip to Publix today and will be posting soon!
