The Search Has Begun...

yes, it's true, i'm finally starting my search for a place to "call my own". i've finally come to that point in my life where the idea of owning a place or being committed to a location doesn't seem to be so bad anymore...at least not that bad.

i actually started looking a couple of weekends ago. cassie took me around the different beacon hill areas and we went to a couple of open houses. my first open houses ever! i still can't believe i'm doing this. i have to admit, i'm pretty overwhelmed with everything and i have a kinda nervous laugh everytime i talk about it. hopefully i'll get more comfortable with the idea as the search gets going.

this week i contacted a real estate agent and setup an initial talk with a lender. there's so much new jargon to learn and all of these numbers to remember. i'm soooo NOT a numbers person. i pray that God will give me a lender who can talk "my" talk. at least i feel totally comfortable with my real estate agent.

i'm also finding out how i should have sympathized a lot more with those friends of mine who went thru this process already. it's a pretty crazy process...it's overwhelming, exciting, stressful and fun all rolled up into one andrenaline filled emotion. or maybe that's just me...i get really caught up with things.

anyways..i guess this means i'll be blogging more...or at least i'm going to try. you only buy your first house once, right?
