Well the Husband and I put together our income and budgeted our monthly bills out that we possibly could afford a house. [Our lease is coming up to renew again in May...which is very soon] So we don't know what the plan is yet I would be very excited to finally getting out of this cramped, smelly [cigarette smoke coming through vents and stuff], noisy [dogs barking constantly] apartment building. But the only thing I'm worried about is something major happening and I can't help or we lose the house. Because buying a house is a big major step! it'll also put me behind on paying off my school loans. But I guess I shouldn't worry about them as much as I am I just hate having them. There is just so much to worry about. I probably shouldn't worry if I needed extra money I could open for commissions again if I had to. Which I do want to get back into doing just so I can have some extra spending money or save. Well we will see. I don't know how family will handle it or even give us any support...always have to think about what ifs and stuff which discourages me of even trying.

Anyway wish us luck. I keep telling the Husband we should go to the bank first to see how much of a loan we could get without applying before even looking or anyone else helping to look....I really want to stay below $180k for a house.
