So...

We put in an offer, yippie!!

We asked for a lot that faces a green belt, we asked for a years paid HOA, and we asked for the company to cover all closing costs. We find out on Monday or Tuesday of this week. We are SO excited, nevous, anxious, scared, etc etc...

Cross your fingers for us!!

Tomorrow is the big day!

So Michael and I are leaving for Arizona tonight after I finish with clinical to :::hopefully::: put the money down to start the build for our new house!! I say hopefully because we want to take a good look at all the models again to make sure we are making the right decision, and then we also need to take a really good look at the lots that are available and pick the one that works best for us. The model that we are most likely going with (the largest one) has a lot open right now on a greenbelt (so rather than facing other houses it overlooks this grassy park like area, which would be so nice because there isnt much green in arizona, especially in summer!) and we really love the idea of the greenbelt, plus this lot is about 20 feet away from a 'tot lot' which is an area for kids to play and I think it will be great for when we have kids in the next couple of years. It is all so sureal to me, that we are going to have our own home, be living together, be married in a little over a year, I will be an RN...this year is going to fly by it seems!! I am just so thankful to have Michael in my life and so blessed that we have this opportunity!! (even if it does mean moving away from the beach!).

Erins WEDDING is tomorrow, yippie!!!!!! This wedding is going to be a blast...her family is a crack up and I am so excited for her.

School is stupid right now. Thats the only word I can use. I have never seen such disorganization and lack of communication, EVER! I cant wait for the summer to get here, and more importantly for December to get here so I can graduate and be done!

Hope everyone has a rockin weekend planned!! I will update with pics and the house info when I get back!

Finally!!

Its about dang time that this freako got voted off American Idol. I am sorry, I have always been a fan in this show and I do believe that people can improve...however him being around this long was just a plain joke in my book! Now the competition can begin...the next 6 weeks should be really interesting, I cant wait!!

On a different note...Michael and I got all of our paperwork faxed in today for our house...it was SO weird to sign some of the papers. Its not official until next Saturday, but its still so weird to me that we are going through the motions of having our own HOME! Its so exciting :o)

School is dragging right now...I cant wait for summer! Every day it seems like its something, and most of the time I feel like I am wasting my brain! I cant wait for next semester to start in August...it will be my final semester there and I will have my degree in December!

Nothing exciting going on, nothing new, I miss my sister, I miss my friends, I miss my LIFE...but other than that nothing exciting to report!

Long week!!

Ok so I am SSSOOOOOOO glad that this week has officially come to an end!! I had something going on every single day of the week, between school, clinicals, a nursing convention, and more clinicals...I was soooo excited to get home tonight and be able to take my shoes off for the long haul. I have tomorrow off, and then next week is just as crazy, so I plan on enjoying every second of tomorrow!

Going to Arizona in TWO weeks!!!!!!! Shyza! (love that new word). I cant believe Erins wedding is so soon...and even more so I cant believe Michael and I are putting money down on a home!!! Its soo crazy to me, so overwhelming, so scary, but so exciting at the same time. I cannot wait to have a home of my own to share with my soon-to-be-hubby!!

School is going pretty good, I am finally done with Psych and am seriously psyched about it, lol. I couldnt handle it there anymore, it really was a real life looney bin!! Not my cup of tea, thats for sure. I finish this semester May 14th...have 3 whole months off...go back in August and graduate in December!!! I cant believe I am almost done with my 3rd semester and will just have one more to go, time has flown by so fast, its amazing to me.

Last but not least...if you havent tried this makeup (bare essentuals), run out and get it!! Its such a nice makeup, I LOVE it. I have been using it for a week and have been really pleased with it, its so easy to use, really light on your skin, and doesnt make you break out!! I am so happy I finally bought it, I dont think I will ever use anything else again!

Thats all for now...off to watch a movie and wait for my hunnie to get home!! :o)

hhmmmm.....

So Michael and I have been doing a lot of thinking...and we (think) we have decided to go with a larger home. We want our first home to feel like a home...and if we went with the smaller models, we would be moving in 5 years when we have kids anyways, and if I knew I was moving in 5 years, I wouldnt really feel like it was "home," because I know myself and I wont get attached to something if we are just going to move out. SO...here are some pictures of the larger model, this home is 2600 sq feet...3 car garage...and just "bigger" (this isnt the one of the larger models that I love, but I will be grateful for any house we live in, and I do like this one a lot, just dont love)

This is right when you walk in the house to the left, its a living room and its pretty big when your standing inside (note how flattering this picture is of me, lol)


This is to theright when you walk in, that archway is to the kitchen, so this would be a formal dining area

This is looking dead on down the hall from when you walk in, the kitchen has an opening right here to the left and then when you keep walking there is a dining area to the right and an area you could use as a living room to the left

This is standing in the kitchen looking out, the area in front right there would be the dining area (so directly behind where we are standing taking this would be the walk way to the formal dining area)

This is from standing in the dining room looking into the kitchen, on the right there is a pantry and the entry to the garage and a bathroom.

This is on the other side of the dining room, like I said it could be another living room-ish area, or we could just make it a bigger dining room, who knows...I love the fireplace...

This is upstairs...the den. I love that there is a den, and then a little nook that you can use for an office (scrapbook room for me please!!). You can have shelves built into it, or do whatever you want, I think its fun and I love that its in its own corner! Down the hall are the regular bedrooms, a laundry room, and a bathroom with a double sink and a tub.

This is inside the master, its huge! (another great shot of me!)

Master bathroom...the walk in closet is to the right (I think, I forget we looked at so many homes!)

Another view from the other part of the den..its really big and I love it! (love the floor too!)

So thats the bigger house...all this for $242,000 (base price). We have alot to think about...who knows what we will end up with, what we will qualify for, etc etc...but its so exciting to think we could have this as our first home!

Randomness.

Ok so I am horrible at updating this blog, but I think its a trend for most bloggers so I dont feel so bad. Nothing super exciting in my neck of the woods...just a few random tidbits/updates/boring info about my life :o)

*Got to see Erin and Abby on Saturday night for a little girls get together, laughed too hard and ate too much, always a good thing!!

*Going to AZ in April for Erins wedding and going to put the money down on our house...I am beside myself I am so excited!

*Summer starts in May and I cant wait...I so am needing a break right now!
