house...someday

Wednesday, August 09, 2006

The closer Josh and I get to December and his graduation, the more anxious I get about buying a house. I can tell you about probably every house that is for sale here and how much they're listed at. There is even an open house on Saturday if you'd like to go.

I think that the most absolutely frustrating thing is that after budgeting and budgeting, I figured out that if I could pay off my car...we could buy a house. I am $4,000 away from paying off my car. All I keep thinking about is how I could come up with that kind of money. Don't even think about asking me what I came up with...selling a kidney is a viable option.

It kind of sucks having figured out, no car payment = house. Having our own house is so darn close. I can see the light but just can't quite get to it. Argh. Let's be honest, I'm not the most patient person in the world.

The one thing I do know about all this waiting is that I will appreciate it more. As with everything else in my life that I have not so patiently waited for (ex. Josh), I truly appreciate them more.

Edited (11:31am): Apparently it's talk about buying a house day. Josh's dad encouraged Josh this morning for us to look into buying a house. Josh didn't even know that I spent an hour looking at those realtor websites. I guess there are options out there for people that don't make any money, like us. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that maybe something will pan out. I hope!
