I'm scared to move up there but I know that this is the right decision. I hate neighbors, I hate other people's noise....I love it being quiet when I'm at home.
So we took the plunge. Offer was accepted on Saturday and this is when the stress hit. Secure the mortgage, come up with the money, see how much we're going to actually spend a month on this place and basically sign stuff we don't really understand but trust the people who are making us do it. All to have our little slice of heaven....
Next week, we have all the inspections...house inspection, well inspection, septic inspection. After that I think some of the stress will subside but then the fear of commitment will probably sink in and the fear of us not being able to tolerate a mountain lifestyle...and the winter up there.
Oh well. The house is perfect for us. Not too big but big enough for all our stuff and we have 1 acre of property to do whatever we want with. And I can sit on my deck and hear nothing but the wind.

Buying a house is stressful and scary, what you're feeling is sooo normal. You know if you don't like it you can always move, just make sure to give yourself some time to adjust, it'll take a little while but I think you two will love it and the place is so cute!
Congrats! It looks awesome and the lifestyle will be great. If you get sick of it (you won't) you can always move back to civilization?! Don't let it stress you out too much -- enjoy the moment!
Congrats! You will be so happy once you get through it all and things settle down. It really is beautiful up there :)
June, whats up with the sale of your place? Has it sold yet?
No, we decided to pull the listing...we couldn't bring ourselves to move out of Boulder, it's a black hole that just sucks you in :) We'll just have to wait until we have some more equity and savings and then buy.
BTW, the picture of the house is super cute! You guys (and the pup) are gonna love it :)
... the wind and the hummingbirds!!!! which you will LOVE!!!
so excited to hear about the big change!!! definitely give it adjustment time! but i'd put money on your being in absolute LOVE with the house, the land, the everything about it ... IMMEDIATELY!!!
congrats!!!
I am so happy for you and Dan, and I understand your stress. It will all go away when you move in! We are looking forward to the house warming party!!!
Congratulations!
