Congratulations. My wife and I just bought our first home last August. We had been renting at various places for the first 19 years of our marriage (we celebrated 20 years together last month.) It is such a great feeling to finally own our own home and do simple things like have a fire in our own fireplace and make plans for updating the kitchen... One word of advice, if the seller does not offer a home warranty, get one on your own. They take a lot of stress out of taking responsibility for EVERYTHING.

I hope it all goes well.
