I haven't been this stressed since . . .

the Bar Exam. Trying to buy a house may just kill me. If it isn't the worry that banks are no longer writing mortgages, it is the idea that we won't be able to afford a house if we ever find one.

Don is running hot and cold. Some days optimistic, some days with his feet firmly on the ground. Maybe a little under the ground and pessimistic.

I just don't want to live with my parents anymore. Law school is over. I have been practicing for almost a year. The business is almost a year old. I need to spread my wings and raise my family on my own.

I want to walk to the kitchen in my underwear in the middle of the night.

I want a home.

That's awesome! Not the stress part, but the buying a house part...oh, I love it.

So, you're in the best of all possible situations. You can take your time and look and look until you find something that works for you and that you can comfortably afford, and you don't have to worry about your lease coming up or having to vacate your house for the buyers or any of that mess. You'll never have this kind of freedom again.

Your house is out there...it may just take awhile to find it. :)

How did I not know you were living with your parents? I must have missed that! Anyhoo, house buying isn't a cakewalk...but it will be nice to get out on your own. Walking to the kitchen in your undies in the middles of the night is a must. ;)
