The First Step to Home Ownership
By Gayle Oberg, Realtor®
Congratulations on your wedding! As you settle into life as a married couple, home ownership may be something you decide to consider. If you are thinking of purchasing your first home, here are some ideas that may help you begin planning.
Purchasing a home will be another decision in your life that is one of the biggest you will ever make. The key to this adventure is to become educated about the process and the options. A Realtor®’s* most valuable contribution will be educating you about the process and the market. This is a complicated and important process that you will go through, on an average of once, maybe twice in your lifetime. It is important for you to fully understand the process.
Ready for your first home? Dreaming of the flower beds and two car garages? Read Gayle Oberg's advice with steps in achiving that dream in the summer issue of Vermont Bride Magazine.

Opposites really do Attract!
He likes country music; she likes alternative rock. He’s a gamer; she’s a reader. She loves dogs; he hates anything that sheds. Opposites attract. Should people contemplating wedlock who share few common interests take the plunge? Are they destined to fight, bicker, and disagree which radio station they should listen to, who should take out the trash and when the house should be cleaned? Can a marriage with different views and opinions be successful?

Matt's P.O.V.
A preview to Matt's P.O.V. (from the summer issue of Vermont Bride Magazine):
I'm looking out the window at the silhouette of a dark tree out of focus in the foreground of the steely cold lake. The shoreline contours and folds at natural angles with a peninsula jutting out into the middle. Far behind everything is a wall of snow-capped mountains.There is a great distance between the lake and those mountains. Today, just before sunrise, amid all these muted colors there is a plume ofsteam rising from the lake behind the peninsula. It's illuminated brilliantly pink and grasping at the white of those snow-capped peaks- making the whole view look surreal and two dimensional. It'sbeautiful.
