I am buying my first house...

[lady_vaguely]

So I'm perched on a thin line between excited and exhausted. What a ton of work! After a day of working, then dealing with inspections, loan officers, and assorted house hootenany, I fall into bed only to lay awake thinking about what colors I'm going to paint the fireplace room. Sleep? Whassat

Congrats of your first house! After renting for the last 14 years, I can totally relate to how exciting it must be to not have a landlord and to be able to do what you want to your own property. We're thinking about buying one too, although I think we're going to wait a few months. Most of the houses I'm interested in are still being held by the banks or are in the middle of being foreclosed on and aren't the market yet.

It's kind of amazing how much work and stress and frustration that occurs with house hunting. I was totally unprepared for the amount of effort it takes.
