Mr. Q is a government contractor here in Las Vegas and his contract is almost complete, which means some major changes are in store for us this winter. We've been looking at real estate in the Boston area for months now and dreaming about a house of our own. We've never owned our own home before, so we're a bit apprehensive. It's been a goal for a long time, but just looking at MLS listings hasn't made our upcoming leap seem "real" to me.
Earlier this week, we were pre-approved for a mortgage, which is both exciting and scary and adds something very tangible to our lives. Making one community "home" is a huge decision that is quite different from the adventure we've been taking for the past seven years. Committing to a house note is a bit frightening with today's economic and political climate. Trying to buy a home 2,500 miles away will certainly keep it interesting, too.
I'm trying to trust that the that universe will see fit to work everything out, but I've decided that now is not the best time to give up caffeine, as I have been trying to do for the last month!
Good Luck to you Ms. Q. Home ownership is definitely worth all the work and worry!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to the Qs'. And I second keeping caffeine in your life and maybe even a little alcohol.

I can't wait to have you back... but who will I visit when we finally get to LV????
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! It is definitely going to be quite a roller coaster ride.
