House buying and other stresses...

So, we have been spending the past couple of weeks in search for THE house. Granted, this is our first home buying experience so THE house is not supposed to be anything spectacular. But, it is hard when there are certain things you want in a house...

I never realized how much stess this whole house buying thing is...you have to decide where you want to live for an extended period of time and you better be sure you are right, because if not, you are stuck with something you aren't particularly fond of. Then, add in the stress of an agent, who may or may not help your stress level. They have their ideas and favorite areas as well, so it can add another guessing game of are they trying to help me or help themselves.

Today, I think we may have found it though...THE house. We will have to see what God says about the whole thing, but you never know. It is just so much stress anticipating: will they accept an offer if we "lowball" as they say?

But, the good part is, this marks a new chapter in our lives. We are becoming more and more "official adults." Who knew it was so difficult? I guess I finally understand what parents were always saying about how hard adulthood is...

Here's to new phases....

Until next time-
