And the winner is...

The house on Canyon Dawn!!

My lovely Realtor called today with some extremely fantastic news!! We got the house we really really wanted!! YAY!!!

I am so excited and thrilled because it all happened so fast!



If all goes well we will close in mid December. So lets hope that all goes well :)

House Hunting

Today was a very awesome day. Matt and I spent 4 hours looking at 13 homes. Our Realtor (Laura Reide) has been so fantastic and awesome. She initially sent us 74 homes to look at and we narrowed it down to 15 and were able to view 13 today.


My rockin' Realtor Laura!!!

The hunt was fun yet extremely tiring. In then end Matt and I decided to put an offer down on 2 homes.

The first one was Canyon Dawn


This is the ML pic of the front. Its so pretty!!



This is the window in the front. The window sill just screams to be decorated for christmas!



FIRE PLACE!! Gotta love the fire place



This is the kitchen. Now I really don't care too much for the painted cabinets, however, I loved the rest :)


And of course my lovely husband... in front of the gazebo that has a built in bbq (well the space for one anyway)

The second house we put an offer on was on Summer Sun

Its so cute!!


I had to take a pic of the crazy tree! It rocks my world!!

Look at this rocking back yard!! I just loved it!!

All in all it was a really good day. Hopefully Matt and I will get some positive feedback on one of the houses. It would be really nice to be home owners :)

Let me know what you think :) Or if you want Laura's phone number :)

Sleep

I really need to keep up on these things...

I have been having this problem. I am sleeping through my alarm clock. Last Sunday I slept through 3 alarms and I don't know what to do. I want to go to church and enjoy the little bit of church time that I get to have... but I KEEP SLEEPING THROUGH THE STUPID ALARM!!

It may be because I am out of practice as the only day that I need an alarm is Sunday but that is really no excuse. So does anyone have any ideas for me? (The place it across the room thing is not helping)

Becca said she will call me on Sundays to make sure that I am up; and as appreciative as I am for her doing this I feel like a retard. I am 25 years old and cant seem to wake my butt up for church... any suggestions would be very helpful.

Fun times

Matt recently took me on a date to The Wax museum over by the Venetian. It was so much fun!!! Here are some pics :)

Me and the Captain. I just love his bald head!!!

Matt and Andre... they are old friends :)

Don't mess with the Master Chief

It was a really great night :)

Drama part 2

I am really feeling picked on at work and I am super frustrated about it. Two of my co workers are out to get me (see drama post) and I feel like I have no friends on my shift. It is bad enough that I have to work swing shift so that I never get to see Matt, but I have no friends or allies and it is really starting to wear on me.

Today I was proud of myself. The other day my co worker Diane (one of the ladies from Drama) told my supervisor that I talk too much and that is one of the problems that she has with me. Well... I know I do. I talk WAY too much so i decided (without being told too) that I will not talk as much. I have been really trying and it has been very hard for me. I guess I am just too much of a social butterfly, but today I did it. I hardly spoke at all and I was so proud of myself. Then it happened.

My desk Sgt came over and sat in a chair between Felicia's (other girl involved in Drama) cube and my cube. She asked me some questions and a conversation started. Well wouldn't you know that would be the ONLY time all night that my trainer would come in and check in on us???

Well... I ended up getting in trouble. I did not get yelled at but i got "You have got to curb your talking or else." I understand that perception is everything and that I got the short end of the stick but COME ON!!!! Or else??? What is that about?? I spent all night listening to Diane and Felicia go on and on about stupid things they did when they were drunk and pools and puffy flaming hot Cheeto's!! I am so frustrated.

I have decided that my only course of action is to not talk at all. Unless absolutely necessary. Ya know the "Hey. Your chair is on fire." necessary. And that sucks for me because I love to talk and socialize and meet people. I guess this is just how it goes for the next year... please pray for me guys. Cause this is gonna be really hard.

I think I am beginning to hate my job- sad cause I use to like it so much.

Drama

I went to work today feeling like i normally do- today is gonna be a good day. I got alot of sleep, i looked cute in my new jeans and it rained today. It was perfect.

Well i got to work today and I immediately felt a tension that i have not felt since high school. It seems that i have irritated two of my co-workers and that they felt it was necessary to email back and forth about me. Well guess what guys... i saw it and i read it and it hurt my feelings. Do they feel better now? Do they feel big and bad and tough because they bad mouthed someone and made them feel bad? I hope they did. Because I am done feeling upset about it. I am done dealing with this kind of high school drama.

The thing that really gets me upset is that one of the girls i have been training with since the very beginning -- almost 8 months ago. I thought we were friends. When i had car trouble she called me every night to make sure that i got home safe. I was even gonna help her paint her house... but it now seems that she doesn't care for me. Doesn't care for our friendship and it really hurts cause i tried to be her friend.

So here is to the two older women that i am training with. GROW THE FREAK UP. We are not in high school anymore and i dont have the will nor time to deal with this crap. If you dont like me then get over it cause i have already gotten over you. Have a nice life and get the hell out of mine.

Mama Mia

My loving husband was a really big trooper today as he braved the movie theaters for a movie that I have wanted to see for a while now. Mama Mia!! And I give it an A+. It was fantastic and I loved it and I can wait to see it again and again. :)

Matt doesn't know it yet but he is going to buy me the dvd when it come out :)
