Well I think I finally did it!!!

So, Thursday March 6th I get a phone call from my realtor Tony to go and view a house..so my thoughts were.."here we go again"..I ended up meeting Tony at a house on East 21st street at around 5:15 that evening. Steve wasn't with me because he was working til 6 that night. My first thought of the house was "aahhh no!!!". I didn't even see the inside and yet I already didn't like it. Tony then takes me through the house and I just couldn't believe how much I actually did like the house. The layout of the house is exactly like Sandra's old house on Camelot but a little smaller and the kitchen is a bit different but all in all..it's the same look. After seeing that house Tony wanted me to see another house on East 25th just to compare the difference so we ended up driving over to view it. That was a house from HELL!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. I didn't like it at all. So I said to Tony "I like the other place more". He asked if I wanted to show my parents and so I agreed. I called them up to meet me there and so we were off once again to view the house. This time it was with my parents. As we were going through the house again..I can tell that my parents really liked it. So in the end..my parents told me that if I really liked the house to put an offer. So that evening after seeing the house two times already, I followed Tony to his office to put an offer on that house. As we were there making up the papers, Steve called and said he was on his way. Steve was coming with me to see other houses prior to this one but like I said, he was working that day so he couldn't make it. He ended up meeting me at Tony's office just as we were finishing up the paper work. Tony asked if we wanted to see the house one more time and with no hesitation, Steve said "let's go". So for the third time that night we went to see the house. Steve really liked it so I was more excited to have his input on it. Tony then told me he'll keep me posted on what's going to happen the following day with the offer. There were already 3 offers pending for the same house. So I was excited and nervous at the same time due to the fact that I thought I might be losing another bidding war for a house. I had to work the following day and all I kept thinking about was that darn house and my offer...Finally at 3:45 that day Friday March 7th, I got a phone call that pretty much would change my life..."CONGRATULATIONS NORMA YOU GOT THE HOUSE!!!". I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was in shock and shaking at the same time that one of the nurses had to sit me down. I just couldn't believe what was happening at that moment. The nurses station was full of nurses and doctor's no one had a clue at what had happened. I finally got off the phone and in a state of shock I yelled out..."I GOT THE HOUSE!!!" Everyone couldn't believe it because I was looking for so long that this day has actually arrived. Everyone congratulated me over and over I still couldn't believe it. I finally caught my breath and started calling Steve and my family. They were all excited and they couldn't even believe what was happening. That phone call pretty much now is going to change my life and finally open up a new chapter in my life. Now I'm in the process of organizing the financial part and making a lot of phone calls to get the ball rolling and all. This is exciting but right now I'm in the very stressing part of it all. This is too big to mess up. Everyone around me are being very supportive through this whole thing but I'm still quite nervous and stressed about things. This is what I have wanted for many years and now that it's actually happening to me...it's easier said then done. But my realtor and mortgage broker are fantastic and they are taking care of pretty much everything. My parents are great and supporting me with this I really can't ask for anything more. And yes I'm still hearing from my parents not to move out because they don't want to see there baby go..but it's time to finally cut that umbilical cord and have my own responsibilities and life. Mind you what they don't know is that I'm going to be there almost every night for dinner...lol...I still gotta eat!!! I take possession of the house on April 11th. So until then I really can't do much as far as painting or anything. So as soon as I get the key we gotta paint and fix a few things. Like I said..I'm pretty nervous right now because I don't want to mess anything up but I know when I get myself settled in and make it mine..I know everything will be ok. So that is what's happening in my life right now so I'm kinda busy with all that. Steve and I are still together and doing really well so life is pretty busy but I'm happy.
So I'll leave you with that, I'll keep you posted of what's going on. So I'll talk to you all soon!!! Have a good night!!!
