We did it. Last night, we put a bid in on the one. We signed a lot of papers, had a heart attack as we wrote a check and then listened to the real estate agent tell us that buying your first home is a lot like realizing you are dating the person you want to marry.
Brian looked like he wanted to kick me as I tried to choke back the laughter because we never dated. Instead, he started telling the real estate agent about how my parents wanted to kill him.
We talked a lot about money. We talked about the money we have. We talked about the money we don’t have. Brian may have signed his life away. I may have started joking about the life insurance policy I need to take out on him. We signed more papers.
I think we’re still in shock.
Yesterday morning, we were still in the seriously considering step of the home buying process.
This morning, we are in the hoping and praying portion of the home buying process.
Who knows where we will be tomorrow morning.
I am surprised how hard it is to keep your emotions out of the process. I want to look at this as purely a financial transaction but that isn’t an accurate way to look at things. We are trying to buy someone’s home. We are trying to build a home of our own.
Now to just survive the next 48 hours of the process…
