On the road to being an adult: Buying a house.

Updated 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Source: http://redletterhaze.com/

In addition to planning a wedding, Chris and I decided it would be best for us (and our future family*) to move back to Pittsburgh to be closer to my family.

How pretty! Here’s what I know about buying a house since I’m hoping to do the same in the next year: Save, save, save!

That house look gorgeous! You should try to get on the reality show My First Place. I love that show and the couple always gets a free gift after they find their dream house. Like patio furniture! Who doesn’t want free patio furniture?

Umm those floors are gorgeous! I definitely must come visit
