House Buying & Catching Up

Happy Monday!

I have been gone for wayyyyyy too long!

Let's have a life recap and catch up shall we?

I love when bloggers have virtual wine nights with their readers so here goes!

If we were having a glass of wine on the patio, I'd tell you that I'm starting school again.  I'm going back to school for my Principal Cert.  It will take me about a year and a half, if all goes right and I don't have to press pause.  I'd tell you that I'm excited but a little overwhelmed.  It is a lot of work and my schedule is already pretty packed.

If we were having a glass of vino, I'd tell you that Bill and I are looking at houses.  It's going well, but it's an overwhelming process that is full of nervous energy, excitement, and money.  Thank God we agree on most house things like layout, price range, styles, etc.  It's such an exciting time and I can't wait to see what will happen over these next few months.  I feel like we are on a forever loop of House Hunters.  Has anyone else seen the SNL House Hunters sketch with the Man Cave?  We watch that when we need comic relief.

If we were sipping, I'd tell you that Bill and I are headed to San Fran next month.  His work trip and my school's spring break are overlapping and we're taking full advantage!  If you think I'm not going to run through the park across from the Full House House singing Everywhere you look, everywhere is a heart is a heart, of somebody who loves you! on repeat, then you are wrong.  I am also excited for the sourdough bread.

Now we'd be half way through our glasses and I'd offer you an apple with peanut butter because I've given up sweets for Lent.  I'd also confess that I am failing at Lent completely this year.  I'd also tell you I'm going to try harder this week.  Hey, like I said, house buying is stressful and sometimes you need an ice cream break to catch up and regroup.

I'd also tell you that I'm cheering for the Tar Heels to win March Madness.  I'm also currently in last place in the bracket at my school.

I'd ask you for advice on home buying because we are novices and sometimes feel like this is the most frustrating thing in the world.  We know what we want and where we want it, but currently all the houses we like have humans living in them who are not willing to sell them.  Rude, huh?

I'd also let you know that I'm 2 weeks out from the Cherry Tree 10 miler in DC.  I'm pretty excited to run that!  I've never run in DC and I like city runs the best.

At this point, our glasses would be empty and the sun would be setting.  The stars would be coming out and it would be dipping into the high 40s.  Too cold to sit outside and enjoy our vino.  I'm giving you all a virtual hug and I hope you've enjoyed this little catch up!

If you have any house buying tips...send them our way!
