Upon Being Sociable
So I have found the secret to being a social person: Stop worrying. And just live and learn. I am somewhat of a socially awkward person. I don't always know what to say and often my mouth gets away from my head. And many many other reasons but basically I was always so worried. I was so different because of this reason. Or that reason. I didn't really fit in. No body would be able to accept me. Blah blah blah blah blah. Insecurity. Stupidity. Got it. Did it. Still. ^ ^

News
Wow. Its funny how quickly things change. Just Monday I was saying that there wasn't a whole lot going on in my life. Well I'm not really sure I was wrong however in the past few days that has most certainly changed. I'll begin with the news and then I'll tell the reasoning and the experience behind it.
I'm buying a HOUSE!! ...There, I said it. *phew* It seems so crazy and insane and yet completely right. And I have no idea why. All I really know is that I can't deny it.
But I will admit that I am extremely psyched for it although I am nervous as all get out. The house is a 3 bedroom 2 bath affair (I would more qualify it as 1 1/2 bath) But really it's even bigger than that. It's great. Upstairs there are the 3 bed 2 bath. And a soon-to-be marvelous living room, kitchen and dining place area. The living room has 3 great windows so a lot of light comes in. And the dining area has a set up for a stove or fireplace--It just doesn't have them yet. Then there is the downstairs. There is a finished living room area and 2 partially finished rooms--as in they are finished except for painting and carpet and one of them has to fix up the sheet rock in one corner. Then the unfinished basement has hook ups for a dryer and washer and a place and fixtures for a small bathroom if I so desired. I'll just have to see. Its on just under a half acre and needs plenty of tender loving care but that's part of the fun for me is envisioning what I'm going to do with it and how I am going to make in into a home. I'm muchly excited.
So it seems like a lot of home for just me and my dog. And it wasn't really what I originally intended.
I had a story to it but it feels strange writing very personal experiences and feelings--especially since they can be misconstrued in ways that I don't intend for them to be and it feels very personal. So I will say that I am very grateful for a loving God who will answer prayers and hope that the reader will understand this to mean that this is the house that I'm going for. And that's that really.
So soon--possibly next month, I will be a homeowner. Right now I am a homebuyer. *insert mild form of freaking out a little* I don't really feel old enough. And there are so many other worries and questions and wonderings I've had. However. I am going forward with faith. It's gotten me through so far.
