i have internet

I did not realize how addicted I am to the internet. I went without it for like two weeks and it was rough. Sure glad that I have it set up now.

Mom's visit

My Mom came down for Mother's Day weekend. It was so nice having someone to help me make decisions about my house, even if we didn't agree on everything. We did a lot of cleaning, shopping, unpacking, more shopping, and eating out (since I didn't own a fridge, yet!).

Mother's Day we went to my new ward, then crashed at Amber's house (my old roommate) to make dinner, and then we watched a cheesy film with a few of my girlfriends. It was a great day.

Rachel and Zac had gone to Illinois for Zac's sisters graduation and Mother's Day. So Monday night we all went to dinner. Rubio's = heaven.

I didn't take a single picture of Mom's visit...but I believe she may have a couple. Always great spending time with family.

Moving day

came and went... but it still seems like I am unpacking and sorting and deciding what is necessary to purchase and what is a want!

I have the most amazing friends --- Becca & Caleb and Peter & Kelly! Thanks for helping me move!!

I am learning that houses are expensive. Luckily, a lot of these expenses are a one time thing. My house will be put together slowly. But it is super fun to dream about what could be done in the space that I have now.

Ms. Homeowner

Today everything became official. I signed my life away Friday evening and today the Seller signed & received the loan money. Yay! Keys have been given to Zac for me. Thurs is the big move date!

Waiting

After the house appraisal came through, there has been lots of anticipation. I did my final walk-thru of the house on Thurs. Then I got the phone call yesterday afternoon that everything was set for me to sign that day. Since the seller is out of state he will receive the documents on Monday. As long as everything continues to go smoothly, I should be handed the house keys. Yay!!

appraisal

The house appraisal came through today without any set-backs. Just waiting to close on the house the beginning of May, and then it'll be time to move!

craft day

Rachel and I spent the evening crafting away. I made an accent pillow for my bedroom and finally finished my fabric chandelier while Rachel worked on a couple different sewing projects. It was great fun! We enjoyed some In-and-Out burgers with some Pepsi Throwbacks while jamming to my latest favorite band, Fun.

Rachel and I have designated on of my future rooms as our 'Craft Room' as long as I get the house. I am looking forward to more craft days.
