It's official : I'M BUYING A HOUSE!!!
This is so weird to me, but it feels so right. The lease on my apartment is (conveniently) up next month and because the rent is going up to an ungodly amount for a tiny one-bedroom apartment with electrical problems out the wazoo, I've decided it is time to, once again, put my big-girl pants on and move. "To where?" you might ask. A house...and not just any house: the PERFECT house.
The house is in a quiet little neighborhood, full of young families playing in their yards and people walking their dogs on every street. It's picturesque. ...and I'm in love.
I've talked to the bank, filled out a mortgage loan application, and I'm starting to freak out a little bit. I'm not 100% sure why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm a "grown up". When did that happen? Oh yeah...when I graduated from college and started my career (not a job...a career. isn't that scary?!). It was compounded when I moved out on my own and then compounded once more when I got engaged. When I look at things that way, it only makes sense to settle in here and create an adult life for Chase and myself -- complete with mortgage payments. ;)
It's time, and while it can be a bit overwhelming at times, it's so exciting and I'm ready.
Here's to moving on and the great life that lies ahead. Let's go!
