Top 4 Scariest Moments of My Life

I've had a few truly terrifying experiences in my life:
  1. Hiding in my bathroom while a man broke down the front door of my apartment yelling "I'm going to kill you!" (clearly he didn't)
  2. Driving on a 5 mile stretch of two-lane road in the middle of nowhere at 2am being chased by another car.
  3. Watching the headlights of a raised truck coming at me right before being hit on the driver's side door of my car while I was driving.
Today I get to add #4 to this list: Saying out loud "Yes please, I'd like to wire $34,000 out of my bank account." That is a scary number to say out loud when you're talking about money I've been saving for 10 years. I'm a great saver, and now 90% of it is gone. To a good cause, I know. But it's still gone.

Kristin made a good point when she reminded me, "What else were you saving that money for?" And she's right. Buying a house is exactly what I was saving that money for. And now I've gone and done it!

Holy cow, I just spent $34,000 today...
