Buying a house is not fun. Ok? Everyone was right and I was wrong. Buying a house is not fun! I thought it was going to be days filled with roaming through beautiful houses and the only hard part would be choosing which beautiful house to buy. Wrong. The days have been filled wandering through complete dumps, with the exception of two non-dumps, which we promptly made offers on and which other couples promptly bought out from under us. Can I handle rejection again? I don't know if I can. Tomorrow we are looking at a house that seems nice from the pictures. We have been in this neighborhood and like it. It is within walking distance to a very nice park with walking trails, a rec center, and a lake. Four things could happen tomorrow:
1) I will love it and Kevin will hate it because the basement will not suit his dreams of a woodworking shop and the drum set that he thinks he is getting (but he is DEFINITELY not getting a drum set).
2) Kevin will love it and I will hate it because the kitchen isn't big enough. Does he want his dinner or not?
3) It will be a complete dump and we will both hate it.
4) It will be perfect. We will both love it and immediately make an offer. Halfway through the paperwork the bimbo who answers the phones will come in to tell us that the house is sold. Then she will shrug, smile, and say "Sorry!" Dumb hoochie.
