It's gonna be soon

My wife and I always thought we would wait a few years before buying our first house together. We aren’t rich by any means and didn’t want to get in over our heads with a mortgage. That was before her brother offered to help us out. He cashed in big in the stock market last month and decided to share his good fortune with us. He’s giving us almost 20k to put down as a down payment on our first home. My wife and I couldn’t believe it and to say that we are excited would be the understatement of the year. It is great timing too because out lease is up at our current apartment in 3 months. That should give us plenty of time to find our first home. She has already been in contact with a mortgage broker BC that can help us out. I don’t think it will really sink in for us until that first night when we are sleeping in our own bed in our own house.
