We're Getting a House!!

I can finally say with (almost) full confidence "We're getting a house!". Well, it's more like we a dishing out a lot of money so we can buy a house- but you know what I mean.

Yesterday was our home inspection. Being that we are buying a short sale house we didn't have to have a home inspection, however we wanted the piece of mind that the house we are buying isn't going to fall apart the second we moved in. I'm happy to say- there is many little things wrong but nothing too major.

For example- the gutter drains are too close to the house. We just need to add an extension piece to the end of it so the water drains away from the foundation. 

 

Or another problem the inspector pointed out- the garage and the driveway aren't even. My solution- pick up your feet and you'll be fine. (Now that I wrote this, I'll be the first person to trip over it). 

If you ever have gotten a home inspection you know that they point out the smallest little things wrong with the house. Now this list of things wrong will be turned into a very long "to do list" for when we finally move into the house. 

 As long as everything goes through (our loan paperwork needs to be approved) we will have the keys to our new house at the end of the month! I'm getting excited but until the keys are in my hands it won't feel real. Wish us luck!

The Calm Before a Big Day

Today is the big day for our friends Mike & Ashley! After 8 years of being together- today is their wedding day!

For some reason for me on the morning of important days, the day starts off so slow. Good example is my own wedding day- that morning went by so slowly that I had time sit down and type out a blog post (kind of like today).

This morning I just couldn't stay a sleep past 7:30am, so I figured I would get my butt out of bed and head to the gym. This is the first time I have been back to the gym in a few weeks, so I wasn't sure what I was going to see when I got on the scale.

This is the lowest weight since June. The only thing I can think of that would make my weight this low is that getting your wisdom teeth taken out will slow down your eating. Finally after two weeks, I feel like I can eat what I want again without really worrying but I'm still being careful on what I'm eating. I know that I won't be eating any Nerds anytime soon because I don't need them getting caught in the holes that are left from where my teeth were.

After my trip to the gym, I made one of my favorite breakfast foods-

 I have kinda given up my Cocoa Krispies for a while because again I don't need pieces of cereal getting stuck in the giant holes in my mouth.

Currently, the rest of the day going to consist of getting ready of the wedding, going to the wedding, and having a good time with some great friends!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! 

Mike & Ashley's Wedding Rehearsal

Today was Mike & Ashley's wedding rehearsal & dinner. After a small detour we made it just a few minutes (maybe closer to 15 minutes) we made it to the rehearsal.

They are having an outdoor wedding so we had the rehearsal in the area that the ceremony is going to take place. Today it was a bit windy so most of the girls had to hold their dress down. I'm not sure if it still going to be windy tomorrow but it looks like they are going to luck out when it comes to the weather. Tomorrow forecast- 79 degrees and partly sunny. I call that a pretty awesome outdoor wedding weather.

Sam amused everyone today because he felt "under dress" (not really but that's what he said) so he wore his tux jacket and tie with his t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. Now that is classy!

Now with any rehearsal they practiced the walk in, the order of the ceremony, and the walk out. The rehearsal went fine, however, no one was really listening to the wedding planner because they were to busy cracking jokes and having a good time.

When I walked up to the rehearsal and saw what Ashley was wearing and two thoughts came into my head-

• That dress it really cute!
• That dress looks a lot like what I'm going to wear tomorrow. ( And is it still ok if I wear it?)

Here is what I'm planning on wearing tomorrow.

I'm very excited for this wedding! It should be a good time and I'm so happy for these two!
