At first this house was just slightly out of our range but the seller’s just dropped the price right into our budget range, and dang we are ready to go!

But being perfectly honest, this almost seems too good to be true. It still feels like this shouldn’t happen, and something will go wrong and we won’t be able to buy the house. It almost makes me heartsick, and afraid to even think about what it would be like to live there or decorate. I’m so afraid to get my hopes up!

But I keep telling myself, this is a huge item on the Baby Bucket List. HUGE! When I first made the list, it seemed that it would be years until we were able to cross things off, and yet here we are, getting ready to do it!

Marmot and I have been stuck in the midst of what I call Buyer’s Paralysis and Overanalysis and been looking at houses for 8 months. And frankly I’m so sick of this stage and the nervous diarrhea that accompanies it, I’m ready to get it over with and just offer already, before either of us thinks of a reason why we should wait. So I think tonight we’re going to cross our fingers, close our eyes, and take the plunge!
