Default OT - little bitty anxiety attacks

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.

Take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Your chances of getting that house are
actually better now that you've been preapproved. We've been in our home for
exactly 4 years and 11 months today. We had settlement around noon and
started moving things in that evening. It wa s ahuge lifestyle change for
both of us. I had been an apartment dweller for 25 years and Keith had a
room at his mom's place. Neither one of us had ever owned a home before and
we hadn't lived together while we were dating. We no sooner made the first
house payment and we were both laid off from our jobs on the same day. (We
worked together and the company was undergoing upper management changes.)
Yes, it sucked but we managed. The cool thing is that in the 11½ years that
we're been together, we've never argued. No, never. Not even that situation
as scary as it was drove us to that point.

Life is calmer now and we still love our home. I wish you and your DH the
same thing. Oh, once you get your house, hang a baqua mirror outside of your
main entry way. It will help keep out the bad spirits. Seems to be working
for us. :-)

It is stressful, but in the end it will be the best decision you've ever
made.

One word of advice, hire your own real estate attorney to handle the
contracts. As much as you trust your realtor, a r.e. attorney is the only
one that represents your interests in the fullest. If you realtor insists
that he/she can handle it all, find another realtor. Contract problems are
common and you don't want to find out on the day you are supposed to close,
that there is an issue.

FUnny you should say that, we have a bunch of little mirrors in our entry way. I'm
not real into decorating to keep bad spirits away, but a mirror by the entry is a
very practical thing anyway.

Jalynne,

Cool!

Be REALLY careful not to buy anything you aren't really happy with!

The real estate agent can seem really nice, then after they have taken
you out a few times get impatient and start kind of pushing things on you.

My brother was just married. As a wedding gift my cousin bought them an old
Victorian gargoyle. Not quite a practical gift like a blender, but
supposedly gargoyles were supposed to protect the home. They don't own their
home, but some day will; the gargoyle will be there to protect them. I
thought it was a rather neat idea. Some people smudge their homes, or put up
crosses or whatever, they got a gargoyle. LOL!

What is a bacqua mirror?

We have a "Varraso" door knocker, and two wooden signs over the door
- one in German, and one in Italian. Both say "God Bless this House,
and all that go in and out."

One couple I know (without kids, obviously) "blessed" each room in a
rather personal manner when they bought their first house.
Interesting, but I'd have rather not heard about it at work.
