I have been pre-approved for a mortgage! And will be making an offer on a house probably sometime next week.. I am so excited.
I am 40+ (cough-cough) years old and have never been a home owner so I am struggling with some of the basic issues of offers, closing costs, interest rates, etc.. all compounded by the fact that I am a non-citizen buying in a foreign country.. thank goodness they are friendly up here!
I will need to be out of my current rental about 2 months before I can move into my new home (if I get the one i am bidding on), so I will need to find short term somewhere... but even that seems to be falling into place and just another opportunity to live in a different neighborhood with new neighbors for a bit.
I keep stepping out on faith & lo & behold, the next step rises to meet me.
2nd best thing today.. the NCAA basketball tournament started and my alma mater won their first round last night & advance, of course they play Kansas tomorrow, but at least they made it to the dance & did well last night!!
my brother went to the same college & played on the 1990 team that knocked off Missouri in the first round 20 years ago, so it was exciting to see history repeated last night.
Thankfully there is a channel or two that shows the games up here so I can watch most of it. I love the game of baseketball.
So tonight I have a date with my comfy sweats, some cheesy nachos, cold beer, and my big screen. I probably could use the 60 mile rides that you do after that!
Happy Friday everyone! Peace Brige

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
