I can't wait!!!

I really can't. Erin and I are looking at buying the house we're renting and I can't wait for the responsibility of owning a home. We're in discussions with the landlord now about price and such and I can't wait.
What can't I wait for? The ability to start to work on something, do build equity in the home, to do handyman type jobs to learn how to do certain things... just the ability to soak in any knowledge that anyone is willing to give me on how to work on the house and maintain it. Erin and I are now talking about where to put money, how to spend it wisely, and how to best get the most of our money with the biggest return.
I will admit, the house was built in 1938 and has a few owners in its time and has had a lot of "handyman specials" done to it. We're quite lucky in the fact that good friends of ours are licensed electrician and plumber so I want to soak up as much as I can.
Why am I talking about this? Well, I did a small little project for Erin's flowers. She bought a lot of flower stuff off of her friend and had to make some shelves for the paint she newly acquired. Well, even though it was just a small little thing, put some screws in the wall for some brackets to put some hangers off of it and put shelving on it, but man.... it was great. The fact that I was working on something, building something and having it be useful felt almost.... empowering. Our friends had come out this morning to take a look at the house to give an honest opinion of what they figured about the house. Things sounded good, had some laughs and some good advice. Sounded good so now our heads are swimming with ideas, what to do, where to do it and what's best to do.
I can't wait.
