The adventures of two kids pretending to be adults: The Waiting Game

Buying a house is like applying to college. First you have to get pre-approved for a loan, similar to taking and getting your SAT score. You get reviewed based on your W2's, paychecks, employment history and your credit score. These items determine your pre-approval amount and set the bar for the price of house/condo you can afford. Then when you find the house/condo you like you put in an offer and hope for the best. Sometimes your offer gets rejected, sometimes you get put on a waitlist as a backup offer and then that one time you get accepted into your dream school or in this case house.

The time waiting for the seller to get back to us was the LONGEST hour of our lives. We all just sat or paced in my parents kitchen in silence anxiously waiting for my mom's phone to ring...and then it did and we all held our breath. My mom is not known for her poker face but man she kept the straightest face of her life. We for sure thought we had lost it but then she announced WE GOT THE CONDO!!!! We pretty much stalked our condo waiting for the loan to be finalized.
