It's funny how a building can really make an adult out of you. I am referring specifically to a house...buying a house. My boyfriend and I are in the very early stages of purchasing a home together. I've got one word for you, Ahhhhhhhh! It is an entirely overwhelming process: getting a loan is bad enough, then couple that with a VERY limited budget, looking for the best neighborhood, most convenient location, washer/dryer hookup, yard and white picket fence all rolled into one.
But it is also a very exciting time, I must admit! It is strange and wonderful to look at a house and see your future in front of you. I see countless meals prepared together, yard/housework, being carried over the threshold, I even see painting a nursery and trying to put a crib together. Everything seems to be happening very fast and furiously all of a sudden...
Buying a house feels like the ultimate rite of passage. A stamp that finally says, "You are a grown up!" Yay. Now what? Yikes. I am looking forward to finding out what's next, but I still feel like a big kid. I'm pretty sure that will never change.
