So we got a call today from our agent saying that closing on our house is going to be delayed until Monday because of some little holdup with the bank. Grrrr. This really throws a wrench in our plans, but oh well. Gotta roll with the punches. Although I feel like punching back right now! We were planning on working on the house this Saturday, so … [Read more...]
You gotta love Goodwill!
June 12, 2008 By 2 Comments
So after work today I didn't feel like going straight home, so I decided to check out our local Goodwill. I like getting frames there for cheap, and canvases, and purses. I was poking around, and found this canvas:I had seen it on Target's website and kinda wanted it bad for our new living room, but it was going for around $70 so I couldn't quite … [Read more...]

That's what we did this morning! Signed our lives away...took less time than I thought it would. haha. We were done signing all of the closing and loan documents within a half hour, went and got our cashier's check, and were done within an hour. The agent said she had never had first time home buyers who didn't ask any questions. We told her we had … [Read more...]

Yesterday was my baby shower, and it was so much fun! We had awesome food, decorations, and games, thanks to my mother-in-law, mom, and friend Cassy. I sadly didn't get any pics of the food, which is probably good, cause drooling is not good for computer keyboards, I know that much. lol. We got tons of cute clothes and toys and fun useful things, … [Read more...]

So, yesterday we went up to have dinner with part of my family up at Mt. Madonna, our local state park. It stayed light for pretty long, and it was really nice...til the sun went down. Everyone was there except Joanna, Janae, and Justin of course. We had Rory's favorite camping meal, pigs-in-a-blanket-cooked-on-a-stick. (Yes that is the proper … [Read more...]
Another softie

This one was from my own pattern. It's kinda wonky and didn't exactly turn out how I wanted. I think her arms and legs are too long for her narrow body. :-D Oh well. It was fun and killed a few hours anyways. Also I finished up season 7 of Friends. So win win at least! Anyways, here's a pic. Try not to laugh too hard!This is Kiki. She is a pain in … [Read more...]
Starting to freak out…
June 3, 2008 By 2 Comments
So all of a sudden I realized that I have less than 9 weeks or so til this baby comes. BAM! (that was not Emeril or a bus, just reality) I guess it felt like this pregnancy would last forever, cause it went so slow at first, and I've waited so long for a baby. We don't have a nursery, or anything set up yet for her. Oh, and the small fact that I … [Read more...]
Crazy week

So I had this long ol blog post typed up, but I lost it. Sad huh? So here's the watered down version of last week. We had our cousins from Utah out here still, so we were down in Gilroy trying to hang out as much as possible! Wednesday I went down for a girly day, and me, Joanna, Aunt Laura, and Courtenay shopped til we dropped. Almost literally … [Read more...]
