A Catch up on life

Well, it's post Halloween and I can tell... unlike my children at school today, I have been off my sugar high for about 12358958 hours now. I came home from school today, cooked supper, had a shower, and was on the couch at 8:00. Amazing feeling. We had a fun Halloween hanging out at my parent's house and giving out candy to the trick-or-treaters. I have always loved Halloween, it is such a fun holiday and it reminds me that my favorites are around the corner: Thanksgiving and CHRISTMAS! I am not believing that Christmas is less than 2 months away. Wow, and that on Christmas day Tim and I will be married 6 months. Time is flying.

On that note, we have been pretty consumed with purchasing our first home! Exciting, right?! After looking pretty frantically for a few weeks, we came across one that we believe is perfect for us, and in the location that we have been wanting. We also believe that it is a complete blessing because the sweet contacted us just by word of mouth. Couldn't be any more perfect. We went and looked at the house 3 times, took the families, and decided to make an offer. Whew, that was the easy part. Now comes the bank paperwork, inspection, termite inspection, appraisal, and the list goes on and on...... It is pretty complicated and this process has been very exciting, emotional, stressful, and fun. If everything goes "as planned" our closing date is set for November 30!!! We can't wait to get in there, decorate, and make it our own home. We already have some great ideas of what to do. Perfect timing for Pinterest and Hobby Lobby to come into play-- I can already tell I'm going to get myself in trouble :) So- the next few weeks will be consisting of packing all of our things up, finding and refinishing old furniture, and organizing.

Off to go finish watching 90210- hope to blog more soon!
