For some reason ever since we've been married I feel stuck at age 19, the age I was married. (A baby I know). Now I'm 25 and still feel 19 and it doesn't help that I look 12 and blend right in with the beehive girls. This week I've actually felt my age for the first time in a long time. Lance and I took a leap and have started looking at houses. Scary! I can't believe how scary and nervous it makes me but at the same time, completely EXHILARATING!!
We're "somewhat" serious about buying a house, Lance hasn't started his new position yet so we obviously have to wait until May. Ideally we'd like to wait a year and then sign away our lives, that way we'll have a substantial down payment saved up. We have no idea what we're doing, we're lost in the real estate jargon, and have no clue what we're looking for. We know what we don't want and that's where we are starting. For some reason it throws maturity and responsibility right in front of us and that is exciting. The whole thing is exciting but we're trying not to get too ahead of ourselves. More to come soon!

I totally get the "maybe I should buy now but maybe it's better to wait" thought process. I've been there myself recently. And since I'm typing this from my new house, you can see which side won. :) I fully expected to not buy a house until this summer (at least), but when you find the right one... well, you just have to go for it. It's a crazy world - real estate - but it's very exciting too. Good luck!!
