House update...

Inspections are finished, along with the appraisal. We are now waiting on the seller to put on a new roof and make a few small repairs the inspector found. He has plenty of time since we are not set to close until the end of April...but I was kind of hoping it would be sooner. :)

I am now spending my time trying to come up with really cute decorating ideas. It's harder than I thought it would be! 

We are buying a house!!!

We are in the process of buying a house! :) We made an offer on a cute little 3 bed/ 1.5 bath house in Valley View (here in Enid). The seller counter-offered and we accepted! (the deal included a new roof!) So here we are filling out and sending off paperwork, scheduling inspections and waiting on an appraisal. If everything goes according to plan we should close at the end of April. We plan on moving throughout the month of May and be totally moved in and settled by June. Just in time for our one year anniversary!! 

Happy Birthday Hubby!!!

Just a short little post to wish my wonderful husband a very happy 26th birthday! You are a great husband and I am so happy that I get to grow old with you. :) 

To buy or not to buy...

We're considering buying a house. Well, that may not be entirely accurate. We've been considering it for quite some time. Now we're ready. I think...

I never have gotten very excited over the idea of home ownership. I suppose I focus a little too much on the negatives. I really don't want to be the one responsible for the upkeep on a house. I don't want to be the one that has to deal with the little catastrophes that can happen around the house. It really wasn't until recently that I finally embraced some of the positive aspects of owning a house. I can see that it really is a better use of money than renting is, but it takes a whole lot of money to buy a house!

Anyway, there's not really a point to this post, other than to let people know what we're up to. So, if you happen to think about it, pray for us, that we'll be able to keep our senses about us and make good choices when it comes to buying a house.

And we're always open to advice!

Is this a joke???

I am kind of freaking out. It is 6am. Mike and Tucker are still in bed.
My left eye is swollen.  I have a very important interview today.
I am kind of freaking out.
Those are my thoughts…

Last night my eye felt funny. I went and checked things out and this is what I saw:

I have been having some problems with my eyes/contacts lately. I ordered a new kind of contacts to see if it would help but it surely did not. I called my friend that has had an eye infection before to see if this was part of the process. Nope. This never happened to him. So he put his wife on the phone. My very good friend is in nursing school and she didn’t really know what was going on either. We agreed that it would probably go away by the morning. Mike insisted on me taking some antibiotics before bed just to help it along.

This is what I found this morning:

It doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t itch. It isn’t really red. It isn’t tearing up. There is no mucus.

So should I call the doc? Should I go to the interview looking like a drunk (professional appearance is required)? Should I reschedule the interview? Should I take more antibiotics? I am kind of freaking out.

On another note here are some pics I took of Tucker last night while I was taking all the pics of my eye.
