We Passed!

The house passed! The inspection went really really well and we are very very excited to close! Sorry for all the house posts but get used to it because there will be a few more before the end of the next month! Now our next hurtle is deciding when to lock in the interest rate. Decisions, decisions....

As for other news..... tomorrow is my Half Birthday!! Nick and I are having a few friends over to celebrate and then on Friday is Nick's Half Birthday so we are going out for lunch! The main reason we are celebrating is that we were moving on our birthdays this year and didn't really get to have any fun. In fact, my birthday was spent waking up in a motel in Roswell, NM and then driving for 10 hours and finding another motel to crash at! So we are making up for it this week!

Inspection Time

We found a house! We are anxiously awaiting the inspection at the beginning of next week so we can find out if we want to invest in it. If all goes well we will be closing on the fourteenth and moving in on the eighteenth! We are very excited that we are getting closer and closer to owning our first home. We have already been checking out refridgerators, washers, dryers, microwaves and lawn mowers ! It is fun to pick out what we like but we realized just how expensive it is to buy appliances. Good thing we are getting a good chunk of change from the government for buying a house this year! If everything goes well I will post some pics of our new house asap!

Also, We are really excited for my mom and sister to come visit. They are visiting at the perfect time because they will get to see our apartment and our house. Not to mention they will be able to help us clean, move and unpack. They are in for a real treat!

Todays Happenings

So we finally got batteries for our cameras and here are some pics from today. This morning we went down to the club house to pick up a package and this is what we found!! My grandparents sent us some Florence's chocolate "just because". Isn't that sweet! 2 lbs of chocolatey goodness!

Then for a fun snack I made a recipe from ThePioneerWoman.com where she uses Stacy's Pita Chips (my favorite snack!) and coats them with chocolate and other misc. goodies. I used milk and white chocolate for ours. They look so good, I can't wait to eat them!


While I was putting the final touches on our pita chip crunch Nick was busy trying to beat all the levels of Guitar Hero III on "Hard". As you can tell from his face, he is serious about beating this level! I love that we have two guitars so we can play together. It makes it a lot more fun.

Our fun filled day is wrapping up with a BBQ with some friends! Also, we are still waiting to hear back about our offer on a house here in San Antonio. We really hope everything goes well but if not then we will just keep looking! Wish us luck!

A few weeks have gone by...

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. Here are a few key reasons why I have not been posting:

1- I had a cold for a bit and so we just stayed home and caught up on all of our tv shows thanks to hulu, abc.com and netflix on xbox live
2- We are still house hunting, so often we spend our days going through MLS searches from the realtor or actually visiting the homes
2- Our friends (you know who you are) got us hooked on guitar hero so we have been spending a lot of time mastering the levels
3- We have discovered the new night and summer shows along with the water park at Sea World
4- Did I mention we are house hunting? Houses are expensive, so are a lot of the fun activities... guess we will stick with sea world season passes, board games and guitar hero with our friends!
5- Oh and our digital cameras don't have batteries because we keep using all the rechargeable batteries in our controllers so no pics have been taken recently!

The reasons I haven't blogged pretty much sum up our last few weeks. Except, I have been able to use my new pots and they are fabulous!!!! Oh what a difference a good set can make! Thanks again to everyone who recommended different pots and pans! Oh and we are still patiently awaiting requests to come visit us now that we have a spare bed. Just let us know so we can move all the boxes out of the room first. Hopefully the next post will be more eventful. I actually have a few ideas for adventures in the coming weeks so hopefully I will remember my camera!
