  <description>i&apos;m scared to death that i am in way over my head and that i am going to fail miserably. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;someone, anyone.. help this ache in the pit of my stomach go away! i don&apos;t want to fail. i don&apos;t want to be that person who couldn&apos;t make it and has ruined their credit all because of a stupid decision. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how in the hell do people make it in the real world? how do people have a house payment, car payment, a family, and yet still manage to save money? it&apos;s ridiculously hard for me to believe that such a thing can happen.</description>

  <title>Letting it all out!</title>
  <link>http://dusty31188.livejournal.com/48128.html</link>
  <description>A lot has happened since my last entry. Well - maybe not a lot but what has happened has been pretty big!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been tossing around the idea of buying a house all year. I have been looking online ever since January.. checking out the houses, the prices, the options - just everything that goes along with the whole home buying process. I got in touch with a realtor probably in May or June and started going into some of the house that I liked - and that were in the price range that I thought I could afford! The first house that I looked at - I immediately fell in love with. It was unique - and if I wouldn&apos;t have had family around to help me then I would have put an offer in on it right away! Luckily - I had family who kept me grounded and made sure that I went through the process of making sure that I put my initial reaction aside and looked into every tiny detail. I can&apos;t tell you how many houses I looked at.. and how many times I walked in and was just overwhelmed by the whole appearance of the house. You can NOT just look at the appearance of the home. You are not buying everything in the house. You are buying the house empty - and you have to buy all the things that go into it! It is NOT easy to think that way.. at least it wasn&apos;t for me! I would walk in and say, &amp;quot;I like this.. I like that&amp;quot;.. but all of it was the decor&apos;. It took me a while to see that I wasn&apos;t looking at the house.. I was looking at the way it was decorated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got past all of that. I got close to putting an offer in on a house in Wilkinson - and I sat down one night and looked at all the aspects of owning a home. The mortgage, the insurance, the taxes, the extra drive, the groceries, the RISK, etc. I became very overwhelmed - and I backed out. I decided to slow it down - look at other options and just think of everything! I put my house hunting on hold for quite a few months. I decided that maybe my best option was to rent. From the beginning I did NOT want to rent. Renting to me was like throwing money away. It doesn&apos;t go towards something that you are going to own - plus you pay more in rent then you would if you just bought something. But I made myself look into the option. I toured the apartments at Greenfield Crossing. It was more in rent then I felt comfortable with - plus it didn&apos;t cut you a break with utilities or anything like that. It just didn&apos;t seem like an option for me. With my car payment, my car insurance, and my newly acquired Blackberry cell phone bill - it was starting to look impossible for me to do anything until I paid off my car or downgraded. I started looking for cheaper apartments. I found an apartment that was 2 bedrooms, water paid, close to work - and it was only $525 a month. I called about it and set up an appointment to go look at it and also to look at a house in Shirley for $495 a month. When I was showing my grandma a picture of the house in Shirley - she told me that it was also for sale at a cheap price! I called a friend of mine who is a realtor and she called and got the key to show me the house! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day my grandma and my cousin joined my realtor and I on the trip to Shirley to see the home. The yard was a little bit bigger then I had expected! The house was just the right size. 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, an eat in kitchen, and a living room. Perfect for me! The seller had just had new windows put in, a new water heater, a nice wood deck, and the kitchen was completely redone. Plus, all of the appliances stayed and there was a homeowners warranty that covers all of the appliances! The asking price was $49,900 - which was about $30,000 less then all of the other houses that I had looked at! Everything just seemed to fall into place. I had my dad come look at it - because he does construction and I wanted to make sure that I wasn&apos;t going to buy something that was gonna fall apart on me! He came - said it was a solid, nice home. Over the next few days - I was talking with my mortgage guy, having my realtor get the paperwork in order, and discussing how much to offer. I had discussed making an offer of $50,000 to get a lower interest level - but eventually decided against that because my mortgage guy said that it wouldn&apos;t make that big of a difference in my monthly payment. I made the decision to offer $43,000, signed the offer, wrote out my earnest money check, and thought that my next step would be a counter offer - boy, was I wrong!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 2 hours later - I was sitting at Denny&apos;s with my grandpa when my realtor called and said, &amp;quot;congratulations - you&apos;re one step closer to being a home owner. They accepted your offer!&amp;quot; I was in shock. I did NOT expect everything to happen so quickly.. but it did.. and I just had to run with it! The next couple of weeks were clouded with work, scheduling inspections, and scrambling to start buying all the stuff that I needed for the house! All that I had at the time was a bed and dishes. Nothing more. It was a very stressful period.. which I&apos;m sure it is for anyone who is buying a house. I got a good deal - price wise - on the inspection. Usually the starting cost is about $350 - but my dad knew someone who was willing to do it for $175. The price sounded good to me so I went for it. I thought that he was going to do the house inspection plus the termite inspection - but it turned out that he waited until the last minute to do the house inspection and he couldn&apos;t do the termite inspection. I&apos;m not going to go into details - but the whole experience with him wasn&apos;t the greatest. He ended up not looking into all the things that he should have - we found a roof leak, a problem under the house, and something that he said was wrong ended up not having a problem at all. I got a good price - for a bad inspection. I had to rush to get a termite inspection - and the guy who did the termite inspection for me is the one who found the problem under the house. I had to have my realtor get an extension of time so that I could have the problem looked into. The next day - I was back at the house with my dad, grandma, grandpa, and realtor and they were looking everything over. My dad found the roof leak, he crawled under the house and decided that the problem under the house was minor and that he could fix it, and he also decided that he could stop the roof leak and put new shingles on the house for about $600. We wrote back to the seller asking for the money to fix the roof problem - which they accepted - and that was pretty much the end of it all. It&apos;s all done until I sign the papers at closing - and take possession!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m still stressed. Extremely stressed. I haven&apos;t had to shell out this kind of money before. I&apos;ve always had money to do whatever I want, whenever I want. Now I am starting to see what it is like to have bills! I have been extremely blessed - to have a wonderful, supportive family, a steady and well paying job, and friends that are willing to help me in any way that they can! I have no idea what I would do without my family and friends - they have all pitched in an given/bought me things that I need for my home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do have some advice for anyone who is thinking about buying their first home. SAVE! Start saving as soon as you get a job. Even if you only put back $20 a pay - that will add up! PLAN! Look at the whole picture! Don&apos;t look at what you CAN spend. Look at what you feel COMFORTABLE spending! You need to remember that things can go wrong - and when they go wrong it&apos;s your problem! SPEND THE MONEY FOR A GOOD INSPECTION! Yes - $350 is a lot but it is worth it! You do NOT wanna go through what I went through with the inspector. ASK FOR THE SELLER TO PAY THE CLOSING COSTS! If they pay the closing costs - then that is anywhere from $1300 - $2500 that doesn&apos;t have to come out of your pocket!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is so much to look at when you are buying your first home. Look at the whole picture! Yes, it&apos;s fun - but you have to make sure that you can handle it! There are times that I feel like I am in over my head - and who knows.. maybe I am! But I will have the self discipline to pay my bills before I go out and spend money on something that I don&apos;t HAVE TO HAVE! Be responsible - and good luck in your pursuit of a new home!</description>

  <description>i haven&apos;t updated this in a long ass time! i have been hangin out with brooke, cassy, steph, danny, and some other people a lot lately! so i just haven&apos;t found the time to get on here and update.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yesterday me and steph went to her grandma&apos;s and chilled there and ate some food! lol.. we were actually supposed to meet cassy, brooke, nessa, kenny, and ayaka at caselton mall.. but we got lost and decided that since we didn&apos;t have any money that it was a waste of time to even go. so steph&apos;s grandparents gave her money for her birthday to get her belly button pierced! so we headed back to greenfield to go to skin scape and met her mom there! steph, being the pansy that she is, got light headed after she got it done.. so i got to drive her car back to cassy&apos;s! thats right! I FINALLY GOT TO DRIVE A MUSTANG! that is my dream car people.. and i love them! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so steph and i got to cassy&apos;s.. chilled there with cassy&apos;s dad and brother.. cuz cassy was still at the mall. then she left to go hang out with danny.. and i headed into town to go see josh and barb.. cuz yesterday was Teresa&apos;s b-day!  it was kind of a hard day.. but i guess that i dealt with it quite well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today i woke up late.. i was supposed to go to edienburg outlet mall at like 8 in the morning. well.. that didnt work. i woke up at freakin 10.. and then the shirt that i wanted to wear wasn&apos;t clean. i had asked my grandpa to do the laundry yesterday so that i could have that shirt. well.. little did i know.. the shirt i wanted had red on it.. so it couldn&apos;t go in with the whites cuz my grandpa bleaches the whites! so of course i was pissed cuz that was the only shirt i wanted to wear.. and because all of my other clothes were dirty so i didnt have anything to wear. so then me and my grandpa got into this huge ass argument.. cuz i thought that it was dumb that the shirt i told him i wanted clean wasnt done.. and how i had nothing to wear.. and how i wasnt gonna be a nasty park bitch and wear dirty clothes. so then he goes into this whole speal about how i am ungrateful.. and how nothing he does is good enough for anyone.. and blah blah blah! i didnt care.. i just sat there and looked at him like he was dumb! so then he said that if i didnt go right then and there that i wasnt gonna be able to get clothes for my senior pictures.. i was like.. i&apos;m not going, bye, have fun! and then i got up.. went downstairs and layed on top of the dryer until my shirt was dry! and now i am up here.. writtin in this.. and listening to my grandpa yell at mikey! haha! i love it when this happens. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i usually get my way with my grandpa.. and mikey and chris don&apos;t! like hardly ever.. and me and kelly can get away with just about anything. which is why i get to go to the mall now! even though he said that i wasnt gonna go.. like i said.. i get my way! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;speaking of kelly.. he used to be a cool kid. he was the only one of my brothers that i could stand to actually hang out with. haha.. NOT ANYMORE! he started hangin out with mikey all of the time and now he is a little fucking dirty park bitch! thats right.. he hangs out at the park! i mean.. i dunno why anyone does! mikey does because he is 16.. and he likes to hang out with the 30 year old guys and the 10 year old girls that hang out at the parl. cuz his future aspirations are to be a child molestor like all the other nasty fucks at the park! UGHHH.. I FUCKIN HATE THE PARK! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so anyways.. i might be having a bon fire tonight.. possibly! maybe tomorrow if not tonight.. and then i think that i will hang out with some people in town after that. i cant have a lotta people here.. so i will call you if you can come! lol.. or you can call me and ask and i will tell you yes or no. cassy wants to bring her boyfriend.. well.. sorry.. but thats not gonna happen. she thinks that she can invite whoever she wants over to my bon fire.. HELL NO! if she wants to do that then she should have her own.. cuz if she invites one person over here that i dont want over here.. they are leaving and so is she! haha.. i am such a dick!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i am gonna get offa here.. later guys! call the cell about tonight ((or tomorrow)). i should know for sure in an hour or so! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:\\317-498-6711//:</description>

  <description>so i went to the fair last night.. was havin some fun.. which was suprising! i was hangin out with katie, ashley, kayleena, allan, aaron, and a few other people along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i fuckin hate drama though! i mean, really.. I HATE IT! but you know.. it&apos;s whatever! and all that stupid bullshit that happened last night really brought me down. i wish that none of it would have happened.. i wish i never would have went.. i wish that people would just keep there fucking noses outta other peoples business.. and most of all i wish i never would have talked to HER! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so here it goes.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;melissa: i dont wanna talk to you anymore. i just don&apos;t wanna deal with all that bullshit drama. your boyfriend is overly jealous of every little thing you do. i dont wanna be involved in all that bullshit.. AND I WON&apos;T BE! you&apos;re a fun person to hang out with.. but if hanging out with you means dealing with bullshit rumors and lies.. then i am gonna have to not hang out with you. sorry.. thats the way it is.. and will be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kara: i think that you are really 2 faced.. but whatever.. thats all i really have to say to you. and i wasnt mad at you.. i was pissed that you were being so god damn 2 faced.. and that you called me every 5 seconds! I HATE THAT! obviously, if i wanted to talk to you i woulda answered the 1st time you called.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;say goodbye to drama!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and by the way.. i dont think that i am gonna be goin to EH anymore. a few reasons.. my family is moving to decator county after/if we sell our house. we will be living on a lake in a log cabin. also, i can just see how the school year is going to go right now.. and i dont want that. so even if we dont sell our house i think that i am gonna talk to my grandma and see if she will let me use her address so that i can just go to greenfield..  we&apos;ll see what happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;later guys.. i dont really feel like updating anymore.</description>

  <description>first, and foremost.. I AM ADDICTED TO FALL OUT BOY! and i dunno if that is a good or bad thing!? good.. because they are an awesome band. but bad.. because i am neglecting my favorite band ever ((hawthorne heights))! oh well.. i guess i can have 2 favorite bands! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;umm.. canoing! AHHHHHHHHH! i wanted to kill myself! i went with my 2 cousins ((keri saunders and brittany meece)). me and keri did a great job.. but brittany cant swim and she was scared to death! we ended up flipping not once.. not twice.. BUT THREE DAMN TIMES!!! mostly because of brittany.. the first time just keri fell out. the back of the canoe got caught on a rock and keri fell outta the front. the second time we all fell out! kinda.. keri fell.. i jumnped.. and brittany.. well i dunno what she did.. but she cried! i forget how we fell out that time.. i think we hit a huge ass rock!! it sucked.. took us a while to get brittany back in the canoe.. cuz she is a pansy like that! the third time.. OMG IT FUCKING SUCKED!!! we were doin real good for a while.. we got to these rapids. they were pretty bad too.. and our boat turned sideways.. so me and keri were workin really hard to get it turned back around. we finally got it turned back around.. but it was to late!! we were headed right towards a tree that had fallen down in the middle of the river. we hit the stump and the whole canoe tipped over and cap sized ((filled COMPLETLY up with water)). we all fell out.. brittany cried ((again)).. i would have been carried down the fuckin river but i ran into brittany and was able to get back up.. keri grabbed the lunch box which had our keys, lunch, and some other stuff in it. me and keri had our shoes off which made it almost impossible to get across the river cuz the current was REALLY fucking strong and plus when i fell out i twisted my ankle cuz my foot got caught on a root. i pulled the boat over.. brittany did absolutley nothing but stand there cryin.. and keri carried all the stuff that fell outta the boat. me and reddy turned the boat over to get all the water out... it took us a good 30 minutes the get everything ready to go again. we got everything except we lost my paddle.. so we were stuck with 1 paddle until we found mine washed up on the bank ((thanks to whoever put it there)). the rest of the day went pretty smoothly. except for the fact that we got stuck a lotta times on rocks cuz the water got really shallow. but i had a hell of a lotta fun. brittany got on mine and keris last nerves. i seriously hit her in the head with my paddle about 10 times.. no joke! she wouldn&apos;t shut up at all! she pointed out shit 50 feet before we got to it.. and half the time she thought there were rocks where there wasnt any rocks! it was really annoying. she is paying me and keri 20 dollars each for putting up with her that day! oh.. and we all got fuckin fried! its crazy! i am sooooooo burnt! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today we went putt-putting.. and minature golfing at south port putt-putt and rustic gardens. it was fun.. but we all got even more burnt!!! me and michelle ((i spelled her name wrong)) kept putting and then we would run to the shade! haha.. it was fun! michelle is hilliarious. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tomorrow we go to school at 3! HELL YAH! then we play softball at the school till about 5 or 5:30.. and then we are off to the indians game! should be an easy day. we wont be back till 11.. and then i am definently sleeping most of the weekend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but uh.. i am gonna head to bed.. i can get a lotta sleep tomorrow! later guys!</description>
