July was my last post. So much has been going on since then. Nick and i are extremely slow at getting the house put together but we've painted half of it, put in hardwood floors, and even hung a few pictures...in 6 months. good start ( Read more... )

we are finally all moved in as of about a week ago. but there has been so much going on i haven't gotten everything unpacked yet ( Read more... )

It's unreal that within the next day or so i will officially be a homeowner. it's been almost 3 months and suprisingly the hardest part about it was simply being patient. The four, to five, to sometimes two week wait was ridiculous at times. But it's worth it ( Read more... )

So Murphy does NOT like clipping his toenails. whatsoever. i've always made a point to handle his feet since he was a baby but it seems like suddenly quite a while ago now he won't let me near his paws. he doesn't like he touching his toes, and won't let me near him with clippers or a dremel. We switched groomers a while ago because it seemed like ( Read more... )

I should have my appraisal back next week.

the bank accepted my offer!

i still got a long way to go but it's a step in the right direction. :)

So it turns out my department did exactly what i thought. i didn't get the buyer position, but they did promote me to a clerk 4. that's an extra $200 a month in my pocket. hooray! it really kind of sucks because the ONLY reason i didn't get the buyer position was (suprise, suprise) because i don't have my degree yet. On one side i feel it's ( Read more... )
