commitmentphobe

So it turns out that shopping for a house is not nearly as much fun as I thought it would be. We are first time home buyers which means we won't exactly be choosing from a long list of dream homes. No, we are not looking to purchase this little fixer-upper shown in the picture (although the land/property is gorgeous) although the ones we have looked at are not much different. Our real estate agent keeps showing us places with "potential." Umm...forgive me for thinking so, but "potential" is a word used to describe the hot & careless guy you just went out with for the first time. An initial rush full of possibilities and "potential" but in the end you are left with something that frightens the piss out of you. And speaking of scary...whatever house we decide to purchase is ours for better or worse. No more picking up and moving if we like, no more worry-free renting, no more...FREEDOM! This is a much harder decision for me than getting married was.
