Okay, I think I'm slightly getting back into the swing of things; although no promises! Lets see, it took me almost five months to start this journal - that's bad.
Anyways, a lot has been going on lately. My best friends got married the end of July (I say friends because I was friends with both the bride and the groom). Then we have had the apartment fiasco to deal with since. So a few weeks ago, while meandering around online, I found out that we could get approved for a mortgage. So now, we're house looking - the big news in our family! We found one we really like and put an offer in on Friday. On Sunday we heard back with a counter offer that was $1500 over the original listing price of the house - so we were kind of taken aback. We counter offered back a little higher than we had originally offered. We're determined that the lady who owns the house is going to come to her senses and realize that the longer the house is on the market (it's been on the market almost two years now) the more she's going to loose - and how innundated the market is with houses right now. We're hoping because we really like the house.
Other than that, there isn't much going on in our wedded life - maybe that's why I've been avoiding this. I don't have much to put in here. We did stop preventing children about two months back, but nothing has disappeared since then (if you get my drift). In fact, things have APPEARED! I was so used to being on birth control that I forgot how awful my complexion was. Oh well...I'm married, it's not like I have to impress anyone now anyways! :)
Boy that's nice to say! I'm married. Which reminds me, I put in the order for my wedding pictures yesterday and I get to go pick them up tomorrow. I got a full set for me, my mother, and my MIL - which totals almost 2,000 pictures! Hope they don't give them to me in those silly envelopes - that would be a LOT of envelopes! I can't wait to get them so that I can get started on my album. I bought it awhile back and it's been sitting here waiting for me to plan out everything and make it beautiful. Hey! We should start a scrapbooking thread in here with great ideas for our wedding scrapbooks - maybe I'll do that! :)
Jason and I are enjoying marriage very much and I think that we're even more in love now than we were when we got married! I wish all the other couples out there as much happiness as we have - even in the hard times, which really show you what your marriage is made of!
Well, I'll keep you guys updated as much as I can. I miss all of you and congrats to those who have gotten married while I was on hiatus and welcome to those who have joined while I was on hiatus.
