I'm a big girl now!!!!
Do you ever have one of those moments when it suddenly hits you that you're a grown up? That happened to me today when I was putting my hair up before going to see the mortgage loan originator to get pre-qualified for buying a house. Just out of the blue the impact of buying my own house, all by myself, hit me and I realized I'm a big girl now! It almost seems surreal, like it's not really happening or something.
The mortgage process was not at all scary like I thought it would be, and because of recent changes in the law, he had to give me a copy of my credit score. I've never seen my credit score, but the range between the three of them went from 773 to 788! (850 is the best you can get.) My application sailed through with no snags, they approved me for up to $70,000, which is higher than my estimate. What was really great was sitting across the desk from the banker who was telling me just how ready I was to buy a house, and that it only made sense for me to be doing it. Now all I've got to do is find the right house!
