The BIG move!

On Monday, September 29th I closed on my house. It was not a scary as I had made it out to be, actually it was harmless and easy. Everyone tells you there are stacks upon stacks of papers to sign, I had only about 40 or so. Lance came with me to closing, he has been such an amazing help and blessing in all of this. He has had so much patience in helping me understand all of the financial terms jargon that I have never before heard. I cleaned out my entire storage unit last night and got my kitchen table from Reg. Thanks to Kyle, Daren, Kevin, Mandy, Shannon, MY MOM, Emily, J.P. and Jessica, I was able to move it all into my house. All I have left is my couch and chair, and all of the stuff at my parents house.

In the process of moving in and budgeting, I have learned to restrain myself from buying on impulse like I used to. The lack of having enough money was never an issue, but now I am finding myself shopping cheap and comparing prices at the grocery store in hope of saving even the smallest amount. Today I went to buy toilet paper, trash bags and dish soap. I think that I stood in the isle trying to find the cheapest brand I could. If anyone has any really good tips for budgeting as a homeowner, pass them along!
