Seasons Of Gratitude

November 30, 2022 This week we are coming off of a long weekend after Thanksgiving where we are feeling immense gratitude for so many things. We are thankful for our financial coach, Jessica, who helped us to accomplish our ultimate goal of buying a home before the program has even ended. With her support and encouragement, we found a way to forge a path to homeownership.We are feeling so much gratitude to our family, especially Megan’s father and sister, Marta, who helped us with a gift that made our home buying journey possible, without them, we would not have been able to accomplish our goal this year.We are feeling grateful for all of the people who have been following along on our journey and who have been cheering us on for the past five months. It is such an amazing feeling to be able to say WE DID IT to our network of friends and supporters.We are ready to move into our new home (almost) and will be closing on WEDNESDAY! It still seems like a dream to us, and I don’t think it will hit us until we unpack the last box.We know that we have a very long journey ahead to budgeting better and having a better and more consistent schedule that will allow us to be better with saving, and we feel we have carved a path for that too.Thank you for following along!
