patrick

i'm feeling better about yesterday's problem.

however, there's a new development that has upset me in a different way. so the house i was talking about the other day. i saw it. and its really perfect for me. its way below my price range and in really mint condition. which is good because i couldn't afford any major work. plus it comes with ALL the appliances (fridge, stove, mircowave, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, 2 air-conditioners) it has a new roof, new wiring and new plumbing. has a garage and really awesome gazebo. its also really nice and in a good neighbourhood. the problem is... it's possession immediately. which totally sucks and is making me hurt inside. i'm so sad and i just want to cry. and have been crying. i'm not emotionally ready to move. nor do i want to screw over my current housemates. agh!! what do i do?? my family really wants me to take it. joy saw right through me (as always). she's like a prophet. she SEES me and speaks right into me. part of me hates that, and yet i really admire her for it. she knows i'm scared to move because i hate change. i'm so hesitant about everything. i'm ridiculously reluctant.

i'm so scared.

usually this is something i'd feel is "too personal" to share on my blog. but this is a really big decision. and for the most part everyone who reads this thing is my friend. some old friends, some new. some really intimate friends, others acquaintances. but i'm sure you care about me in one way or another.

i'm probably going to make an offer on thursday. i'd appreciate your prayers. thanx.

Wow this is huge, Les.
Yep...it is a scary process...buying a house and change. Listen to your gut (God mystriously resides there too!) Prayers are being lifted, my friend! Call me if you need to chat about it...

It's a weird feeling, buying a house ... and it's a bit of a roller coaster ride going through the process of acquiring said house ... but IMHO, if you can afford the payments, it's NEVER a bad idea to change from renting to owning. In fact I see it as silly to rent if you don't have to ... why not pay yourself the rent.

My $1/50.

(Plus the house is close to us so you can hang with Lainey!)

So lucky to be able to afford a house! House prices down here are stupidly expensive!!!

Big decision, but sounds like a killer house! Saving money on rent and building up equity is a good thing!

I'm baaaaack..... you are having quite the whirlwind week! Thanks for sharing all the details. I still think you're a jerk for having your own driveway and garage, thanks for inspiring my jealousy.... but seriously, you go girl!
