Nothing bad, don't panic. Dh and I decided to take the plunge today, and
prequalified for a home loan. We met with the real estate agent we've been chatting
with on and off for about four months, and we will be looking at three houses on
Friday. This will be our first purchased home....we've always rented, and never been
able to afford to even dream about owning. It scares the crap out of me. Have to
keep reminding myself to breathe. I know it'll be great, and we'll find just the
right house for us, but still. We have a VA loan, and they're very very picky as to
what they will allow us to buy...lots of restrictions as to condition of the house,
what type of house, etc. Anyway...we'll be busy jumping through hoops. One of the
houses we're looking at has a large studio in the finished attic, where there is
great ventilation, skylight, and is open to the livingroom below, so I could sorta be
with family while I sew, bead, scrapbook, whatever. We drove by it, and i REALLY
want to see inside. Anyway....this will likely be a long process, but I'm excited
and having small panic attacks at the prospect of owning a house.

OBR: I am going to be looking into a class on wire work/soldering....and
maybe...well, if we get the house with the loft, I might take a beginning lampwork
class to see if I like it.
