After deciding to move back in with my parents for a few months so we’re not rushed in our house search, our realtor e-mailed us saying that the house we originally put an offer in last month is available now. Apparently the buyer that outbid us backed out. I’m really hoping that no one else knows that the house is back on the market since the websites say it has been sold. The nice thing is that our realtor’s wife is the listing agent for that house.

We’re really hoping we get this 4 bedroom cozy house that has a nice view of the mountains and a nice yard for our “future pool” someday. Tyler and I agreed that if we don’t get this house then we’ll proceed with plans to move back in with my parents for a few months. I’m anxiously checking my e-mails and iPhone to see if our realtor e-mailed me. It’s driving me crazy because I’m already thinking of what color to paint the walls and where to put this and that. At the same time I’m trying not to think about it or think we’ll get it because I have a theory that if I think I won’t get it… then I’ll actually get it!

Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Me & Amy – After BBQ & Pool

I really liked this one house we saw last night but our Realtor knew everyone else was going to like it too and would offer more than the listed price. At this point I’m becoming frustrated because we have been talking about another option – moving in with my parents (again). Don’t get me wrong – I love my family. Nothing is set in stone yet but it seems like we will though. It’ll definitely be easier to look for a house (the right one!) while living in the area and not having a time line. Also we’ll be saving tons of money which I am looking forward to doing that.

Bryan finally moved here and we got together today and played cards outside by the pool and BBQed dinner then went for a night swim. The sky was beautiful tonight especially when floating in the pool. Summer is now beginning…. and I’m looking forward to monsoon season!

Shhh, but I caved in and bought an iPhone (again). I absolutely love it and am not returning it this time. I’m actually afraid to bring my iPhone to work and be distracted by it. iPhone lovers, do let me know what free apps I should add!

Last night we had friends come over. We played The Pit all night! It’s an awesome game and we were a little bit loud… I emphasize ‘a little bit’…seriously. You can guess right… the security guy came again. He came back in November when we all got home from our Bachelor & Bachelorette parties… things kind of got out of hand that night. Anyways, I was peeved and annoyed because I seriously feel like we’ve got to be tiptoeing around the apartment all day and night long.

We’re ready to move out now, but our lease’s not up until July. We met with a realtor who will start working with us to find us a house. Today was the day I finally feel like an “adult” especially with all the talking of what we want and what we need to do. We have a lot of things to do for the next few months getting prequalified for a loan & looking at houses & making offers!

Starting tomorrow – I’m going to eat healthy & go to the gym! I’ve decided I’ll weigh in every Friday and keep track of my weight loss from there.
