a day in the life

we received word at 3pm that our offer was accepted for our house. we are now further along in the process of becoming home owners. very exciting. the house is terrific...a bit out of our price range but isn't that to be expected in our "keeping up with the jones'" mentality...clicky here for full tour...

just kidding...our mortgage is slightly above the joke house's taxes....but hey a girl can dream. we got a good deal on a great house. the neighborhood is great. safe, lots of toddlers, quiet street. very cute...we love it. we looked at maybe 40 houses and this one always stood out to us....the kitchen is blah but the yard if fabulous...we are excited....

driving home from the realty office, bekah broke down on the highway. we parked behind her and waited over an hour for AAA. during that time, the natives were definitely getting restless and our nerves were wearing thin. chris was quiet mainly because he was supposed to camping and this was setting him back considerably....during our wait, the honda just STOPPED RUNNING!! we had to call a tow truck too....now i can laugh but those two tow guys who showed up were in shock...my in-laws and christian saved us...so kind...i'm exhausted now but i really wanted to share my whirlwind of a day...

huge housewarming party in december...i hope...
