Lots to tell...

Things around this Bolz house have been a little hectic the past few weeks. The biggest thing being we closed on the house. It is officially ours! We have already begun working on it. We took down the wallpaper in the kitchen to reveal the guacamole colored walls underneath. Not to mention all of the small nail holes. So we have patched the holes and painted it. I have a few touch ups to do, but the kitchen should be finished this week. 


When we were looking at the house we were under the impression that the refrigerator was included. We were under that impression because we asked the realtor if it was included and she said yes. Come to find out, it didn't make it into the contract in the counter-offer. So, we bought a fridge this past weekend. Best Buy was having a sale on the kind I wanted (freezer on bottom). So I called to get some info about it before we took a trip down there. It was going to be back orderd so we decided to head over to Lowe's to check out what they had going on. The had the same one that was on sale in OKC but not in stock, they were going to have to back order it also and it was more expensive. I asked if they could do a price match, and they did! So same fridge, same price, bought locally, and free delivery. I checked today to see how much it was now and would you believe me if I told you Best Buy dropped the sale and it was about $15o more now? And Lowe's still had the same price of about $200 more than we paid. Gotta love a bargain!
Priced here at GE's website for $999, way more than we paid! :)


Another new thing going on around here - I have a new job. Sort of. I am watching my cousins new baby a few days a week. He is absolutely precious. 


I also had a job offer about a week ago. I didn't even apply. I used to work at a bank about five years ago and they have an open position. They offered it to me before they started accepting applications. I appreciate them thinking of me but I'm not sure it's what I want to be doing.


I got first place in a triathlon about a week ago. Ok so there were 3 of us on the team, Jenny swam, I biked, and Kim ran. We got first place out of our category. (There were only 2 teams in our category, and we were one of them.) The details aren't that important.   :)


And now for the biggest announcement.... 

We are going to Barcelona!! We booked the trip last night. Mike and I have been thinking about what we wanted to do for our first anniversary. We decided we wanted to fly to a "cool" city and go to a concert of one of our favorite bands. Mike started looking up Snow Patrol's tour schedule and found they would be playing with U2 in Europe. So he found a tour date close to our anniversary and Barcelona it is. I'd say that's a pretty cool city.
