Which house is which? by Kelly

My parents' house and our house.

New home by Kelly

We are finally grownups! I am writing this from my new king sized bed. With my new 500 thread count sheets. Just enjoying life. Does a new big kid bed make you a grownup? No not really. But a new big kid house does make you a grownup!

We finally closed on our house and are in the lovely process of tearing things up and down. Jake has an entire house to redo now. We love it.

We decided to not move our things in until the remodeling is done. We did move our bed though. So far we have been here for one week with no tv, no computer, nothing. We just get to work on things and talk. I like it a lot actually. Or I did until I realized my DVR hasn't recorded the last two episodes of real housewives.

Here is the mansion. I will keep updated with progress. And will keep you updated with how my sanity is doing with another remodel goin on. Kelly

I Hate the Home Buying Process by Kelly

I absolutely hate the home buying process. Hate hate hate it. I totally get why people are complaining about how hard it is to get a loan. It's borderline impossible. So frustrating. Right now things look very good but I'm not going to jinx it so this is the end of me talking about house hunting until we have the keys and are in the house.

In other news, there is literally nothing new going on. We are still married. Still sort of like each other. Haha. We are going back to Mexico for our year anniversary. Well hopefully anyway.I haven't checked with work yet. But I'm assuming work will love the idea of me taking off a week to go to Mexico right when Cubs season starts again. Kelly

Growing Up by Kelly

What a weird year it's been. I got promoted to manager, got married, and now am buying a house. Yup, it's finally time for Jake and me to get out of the parents' basement. We can't go too far though. We are buying a house about 3 blocks away from them. If we go too far than we can't have a free dogsitter.

We have this house I think as long as everything goes right with the mortgage and all that stuff. I still don't have a clue what we are doing. They did an inspection and everything was great. So now we just have to close or something? Who knows. Hopefully we will have a house in about 3 weeks though.

I tried to find a picture of it on my computer but couldn't find anything. Basically find a pic of my parents house, it's the exact same style. Just pre remodel. I can't wait to totally remodel it ourselves. This is so fun. And a house is super big for just two people. Well two people and a dog. Kelly

Days Together and the Swine Flu by Kelly

Last week my parents and bro went to Houston to spend time with my dad's sister and her fam. We stayed home because I had to work a lot. Jake has a few weeks off right now. So I was so excited to have a few days off with Jake. So excited. We never have days off together.

So we decided to go on a lunch date then go grocery shopping. Which is always fun. We ate a ton so we were tired and decided we should go home and bring our bed into the living room so we could watch tv out there in comfort. Oh there was no comfort for me.

I felt weird and took my temp when we got home. It was a 99. No big deal. I felt way worse 20 minutes later and retook it. 102.6. So I just tried to die all night with no luck.

Went to the doctor the next am even though I didn't feel as bad. Thank God I did. I've been swined. I refuse to call it H1N1. It' swine flu. The doctor didn't tell me I have H1N1 He said I have swine flu.

So he basically put me in quarantine. I can't leave my couch. Can't go within 3 feet of Jake. Can't do anything but be bored out of my mind. FOR 7-10 DAYS! This is a cruel joke. I am so bored. I should spend this time doing something productive but I am dizzy and just don't feel like it.

This stinks. Kelly
