Like weddings. While I was beyond excited for my wedding and never had doubts about marrying Doug, yet I remember many nights where I would either lay wide awake with sleep nowhere close or wake up with a start after a horrible dream about something going wrong, which of course lead to me lying wide awake going over details in my head. I even wrote a whole post about it here.
Then we have buying a house. With every step we take, we are more and more confident in our decision to buy a home right now. Meeting with a realtor, getting pre-approved, scouring the internet for homes we want to look at, excitedly talking about it with family and friends.
Yet, once again I find myself lying awake in the middle of the night, woken up by a ridiculous dream. A few nights ago, our friends decided to buy our dream house out from underneath us. Last night? I wasn't even buying a house with Doug, but a friend, and she decided to not only spend more than twice our budget on a house, she also decided I wasn't going to live there (yeah I know...dreams don't always make sense).
No matter how confident I am in decisions I make, I'm still an over thinker. I always have been and I'm pretty sure I always will be. And when it comes to major life change? Ya know, like getting married or spending a huge amount of money on a house? I freak out.
For decisions like this, I am all in. I fully immersed myself in wedding planning. Heck, it's really why I started reading blogs in the first place. Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings had a constant place in my Netflix queue. And house hunting has been the same. Howard Hanna's website is always open on my computer, House Hunters and My First Place are regulars on our tv, so many of our conversations revolve around the houses we like and our budget for buying.
I guess it's no wonder that even in my 100% confidence in this, it's bound to stress me out when I rarely think of anything else.
Guess I'll just have to relax with the House Hunters drinking game...which is pretty much the best thing I have found on the internet ever.
