It's a standard 3-bed, 2-bath and it has a blue garage! Awesome, I know. I finally have the ultimate project--something to keep me busy when i'm not. I told Niki on a Wednesday night that I wanted to buy a house. She said OK (although i'm not sure if she was really taking me seriously or not, considering we've been looking and talking about it for over a year). Anyway, I pulled up several homes in our price range on har.com and told her to pick from one. The one bought is the only house we've BOTH agreed on spanning our entire search. She said "yeah, I like it " and proceeded to take a shower. Little did she know that as soon as I heard the water turn on I began filling out an application for a mortgage pre-approval.
I'll omit the details and cut to the chase. Basically, we looked at it online on Wednesday, got pre-approved for a mortgage on Thursday and celebrated with sushi at Blue Fish House, looked at it in person on Friday, had an offer in that night, ironed out the details on Saturday and had a contract later that night. I almost vomited several times in the process. It was all happening so fast and making me very anxious, but worth it. It's a huge step for me, as I don't always accept change well. But I did it, and it's done. We'll close on June 3rd and i'll officially be a homeowner.
If you think that you can't do it, trust me, you can.
