These are a few of my favorite things

You know what I love about summer? Summer dresses! It's the only way I really keep cool in this heat. I've never been a big fan of shorts or skirts, so dresses are the way to go! Here are some of my favorites from Forever 21.

Packing Sucks

So we, okay let me rephrase, Brian started a little bit of packing today. We've been procrastinating because well, packing sucks.


Here you can see that Gizmo likes to watch us pack.



He doesn't like to BE packed though...


He'd much rather play with a ball that's too big for him instead.





This is how Gizmo feels about packing


I agree...

House Update!

How was everyone's weekend?

Ours was good. Not long enough of course, but good. We had inspections Saturday. It went well. Nothing major, all little tedius things that the inspector put on the report as a "courtesy". That's great news and such a relief! Then we had a day of shopping. Hit up Home Depot, Floor Decor, Ikea and even the Sears Appliance Outlet! We only ended up buying some floor board/mouldings though.

Also, my LO called Friday and said, "So what are you doing Monday?" I replied, "Working, why?" He said, "docs are ready and I want to get you in to sign!!" AWESOME! Unfortunately Monday afternoon doesn't work since I'm stuck at work, but we scheduled a closing for Tuesday morning! This is so exciting. It's finally happening. In a week (or less) I will be a H.O.M.E.O.W.N.E.R.!

WOO HOO!

So guess what?! I got a call from my excited real estate agent today, telling me that our seller signed docs have been executed!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry but that deserved a lot of exclamation points). FINALLY! After a month of waiting around. That means we can finally do our inspections (we have a 10 day period to have them done anyway). Dun dun DUN!

I scheduled the appointment for this weekend! I have to admit, I'm feeling a little anxipus about inspections after all the trouble we've gone thru, but I'm trying to stay positive.

Cross your fingers, toes, etc. that the inspections will go well and there won't be anything major wrong.

Happy Father's Day!

These are the only pics I have uploaded of my dad and I. Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you!

2. Five items on your to-do list:
1.) Close escrow on home.

5.) Refinance car loan.

3. Snacks I enjoy:
Fat free yogurt with fresh strawberries and chopped raw almonds, a handful of trailmix, reduced fat wheat thins, fresh fruit, fresh raw vegis with hummus or FF ranch dip. Anything easy and work accessible.
