Home Owner...Almost

Well I went for it...a long shot to say the least, but I am almost a home owner! We still have to get past the dreaded bank inspection in order to be approved for the loan, but if all goes well (everyone knock on wood NOW) it should happen!!

Here is the house I want to buy

It is kind of...different. My little brother calls me it my little ugly house. Even my realtor made a comment about how it was smart to buy these ugly little houses and fix them up. Well...I love the house. Just the way it is. The oddness/uniqueness is what drew me to it in the first place. Green is my favorite color, and while yellow is NOT typically my favorite color I like the way they look together. The house makes you stop and look. It is totally me :)

So now...I am on the edge of freaking out. I mean really? I am trying to buy a house??!! I have so much debt in my life already (student loans rock....dripping sarcasm). It is WAY smaller than where I am living right now and I have a lot of stuff. It has a huge backyard and I cannot do yard work. I don't love the neighbors (by first impression only) and I have to live next to them forever. AGGGH!!! So many things to stress me out! And they are...but they aren't at the same time. I mean every now and then they hit me and I have a mini heart attack, but mostly I am just excited.

I am going to downsize all the stuff in my life and only take with me what really matters and what I really need. I will have my own space! MY own space, not just a space where I am staying. It can be as "ugly" as I want it to be! I can do as little or as much as I want with it. I.Freaking.Can't.Wait! Despite all the stressers, I feel like this is going to be SUCH a positive thing for me! I hope this month (and all the final hoops) pass by quickly because I am aching to get in there and start living! :)
