Holy fuck we're buying a house

so in a period of about 24 hours, my wife and I went from "starting to look for a house to buy" to "holy shit we're putting in an offer" to "holy fuck it's accepted we're buying a house."
I'm kinda freaking out a little, but it's cool. Check out my (in 3 months) first house SE++:
front view: yeah, it's a house.
I'm basically gonna live in that kitchen. It's got a dining nook, that opens into a full dining room in sort of an L shape.
that dining room there.
that living room is half the size of our current apartment. and goddamn hardwood floors.
the master bedroom: our furniture will not be as fancy. I love the corner windows though, light from 2 sides.
shit yes it has a sun porch (and a ridiculously landscaped fenced back yard that isn't in any of the pictures). Is there a better place to sip beverages on a summer evening? I highly doubt it.
bigass family room with a woodstove in the basement. so excited.
Also 2 other bedrooms in the basement and whatever. holy fuck I'm excited/overwhelmed.
Marvel at what will be mine (well, the bank's) SE++, and share with me your stories of home ownership.

we are going from a 1.5 bedroom apartment into that thing. holy shit we are going to need so much furniture.
but not too crazy now, we're gonna own that shit. in fact, why don't we just have a nice dinner party.
I will crash there at some point (when your wife is away and you are feeling lonely)
Did you have it inspected by a trusted home inspector?
We purchased a home in Connecticut in 2003, just before the bubble burst. It was a bit of a mistake, but we were young and desperate to move out of the awful rental where we had been living for a year. We lived in that house for about 4 years before a work opportunity had us relocating to DC, and then Hawaii, and then back to DC. We've been reluctant landlords ever since. Now, we're back in New England, but still renting that house out and living in a nicer rental. Can't sell it, we'd take a huge loss.
The saving grace is that our tenants have been trustworthy and paid their rent on time.

Rachel and I were going to look to buy a house or a condo but our financials aren't quite there yet
And I work a lot of night shafts
Excellent, make sure you ask a lot of questions.

literally 24 hours from my wife seeing the house to us finding out we could buy it.
We're going to bring our dogs for the inspection, they are highly trained at sniffing out transients.
Really, Keith?

please, real estate photos are always carefully cropped to make rooms look bigger, and brighter, and to hide things like cracks, water damage, and deadly traps.
Look, I never claimed to be clever
TOO LATE i already pretend flew them away into my pretend insidious vacation basement
now apply this sentence to a vagina
that's okay, I never liked them much.
The front doesn't look great, but god damn is the back yard well maintained. It's going to be a shame letting our dogs loose to pee on everything.
And put this in it.
I have to show him this
