it's SUNDAY~

Today has been a great day. I went back to see our house again, and took pictures so that Jamie could get a peek at what WE bought! LOL I went to the grocery store to get a couple items we needed, like milk, juice, and of course pickles! I was upset when I got home b/c I accidently got sweet pickles! YUCK!!!
Well, it was just too beautiful to be stuck inside today, so while Rowan was napping I went out to wash my Jeep and clean it out! It is SPARKLIN'! I also mowed the yard; I hate that! So, days like today make me realize that I really do miss my hubby. LOL I hate man jobs! Jamie and I have it so perfect; he mows, does the trash, takes care of the cars, etc., and I do the inside things: clean, laundry, cooking, etc. It works for us, and I wish he was here!!!
Tomorrow I am getting my brakes fixed and going to the bank to get the stuff done for the house! YIPPEE PRAYERS PLEASE!!! We already have the approval and whatnot, I just have to show it to the selling realtor. So yeah, that's about it! Oh, and I killed a baby bird today. Oh, and I have a bunch of other little things to do tomorrow...let's hope it is just as beautiful tomorrow as it was today!

Loves and smiles!

OUR FIRST HOME!!!

































We did it, we took the plunge and BOUGHT A HOUSE! This has been a dream of ours for five years now, and being in the military something we have not been able to do as of yet. We decided to just DO IT, and when Jamie gets stationed somewhere else we will either rent it or sell it, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it! Here are some pics of our NEW HOME!!! We close June 30th, SO EXCITING!!!
OOPS, I accidently put a picture of Rowan on here, don't know how to get it off! SORRY!!!

Saturday silliness

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, so I shall attempt it today! Well, I don't know, but I have been an emotional catastrophe waiting to happen for a while now, and yesterday...well, it was THE day for it! Nothing terrible happened, just me...that's it! I cried about EVERYTHING!!! It was nuts.
So, for starters, I went to look at a house in S. Jax yesterday. I was hoping to find one in south or west, which is where I have mostly been looking. I was running out of hope that I would find on in our price range, but yesterday...IT HAPPENED! I went to look at a new listing, my realtor SWORE to me that "this was the house". I hadn't seen pictures or anything, but when I walked in, I knew I had found the perfect house. It is in south, a block from the school, 1/2 block from Community Park!!!! PERFECT! It has three bedrooms, a HUGE garage (fits FIVE cars!!!), everything in it is new: new roof, water heater, a/c unit, furnace, replacement windows, carpet, paint...OMG!!! It even has a nursery, which is attached to the master bedroom (WITH DOUBLE CLOSETS, HEAVEN!!!). The yard is enormous!!! OMG, it's perfect. Okay, there are a few things that are not perfect; it has a shared driveway, booooo...and the basement is not usable, just pretty much a storm shelter, but it's ok. The house is over 1500 sf, which is a nice size for us right now. Anyway, I made an offer right there, and they signed and accepted it last night! I hope to say it is a "done deal", but after the last one, I won't say that until I have a key in my hands!!!

After that, my friend, Melissa GOT MARRIED! My gosh, she was a STUNNING bride, so beautiful. The wedding was simple, elegant and perfect, and so glad I was a part of it!

Then...off to Autumn's house for her bachelorette party! I didn't think I was going to be able to go, but it all worked out and I was able to have a much-needed girl's night out. We had dinner at her house, compliments of Bre, and it was DELICIOUS! We had a few daiquiris and then we headed to Alton to the boat. I didn't do too well, although I was feeling lucky and winning like crazy at first. I came home short ten bucks, not bad for a night out! It was a lot of fun; I got home at around midnight, a LATE one for us!!!! :-) I kissed Ro ni-night, although he was already sound asleep!
I was NOT feeling well lastnight, so I was up quite a bit later than midnight. I think I went to sleep somewhere around 3 or 4 again. Oh my gosh, still not feeling very well AT ALL, not sure what is wrong. I think I may have some sort of flu bug. UGH, hopefully it is gone soon!

That's pretty much it. I am going to look at the house again today, so I can get pictures! PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVES XOXOX
