Obsessions

Is anyone else an obsessor?  I don't think that's a real thing, but as a great co-worker once told me, you get to make up words once acquiring your Master's degree. So ha, obsessor is a word ;)

I think Josh and Avery can vouch for the fact that I really get into things. FAST.  Latest obsessions: DIY/Money saving ideas, apartment searching, car searching, dog searching, house searching, house remodeling idea searching.

If you followed my last blog, you were witness to my DIY/$ saving phase.  Don't get me wrong, plenty of good comes from my obsessing.  I learned so much in my money saving phase.  Much of it we still practice (although not quite as stringently).  We also found a pretty awesome place to live, got to take Avery home, got a good deal on the Jetta, and have had a successful house search.  Not bad overall.

I think I have an obsessing gene.  My mom, bless her heart, is kind of the same way.  Maybe obsessing is a way to deal with the anxious gene we both VERY MUCH inherited.

However, I realized something the other day.  After having a breakdown (typical) mid-house search, I realized that sometimes you just need to take a step back.  After almost giving up after my breakdown, I took a night off.  I let my parents help search a little, and we found an amazing house!  We are all set to close on February 28th. I will post some more soon.
