Why does buying a house have to be so difficult?

So, I put in an offer on a house. Super excited, but it might take up to 45 days to know, because it is a short sale. I'm just praying that if it is the right house for us that it will work out. It was a big decision on my own. Rory said he trusts my judgment and is behind me 100% picking a house for us to purchase. Still a lot of pressure though. Hope I do ok.
