I am not sure if you can think WAY back and remember when I started condo hunting...well..the hunt has been still going on for the past 6 months or so. Basically I entered into a short sale (which is SOOOO not short) and it is finally coming to and...or at least I hope!! Which is ironic because I was seriously going to call my realtor this week and be like, dude, I can't take it anymore, get me out of this contract! But he called me instead and told me the end is hopefully in sight.
So I hope I am not jinxing it, but I will hopefully be closing in the next couple of weeks!
Now to search yard sales for cheap furniture to furnish the place..lol.

Quick Vacation Update
I am barely awake to write this, because I got up at 4AM today to drive John to the airport. And because I was convinced that if I took a nap, I would not be able to sleep tonight and therefore not want to get out of bed in the morning for work, I did not take a nap. So even though it is 6:45PM, it feels like 11 PM..lol.
So vacation was great. We did get some sun shine the last few days but before that torrential downpours dampened our spirits. Because of the down pours the lake rose to new heights, reached over the wall and completed flooded the lawn. So basically we could launch the boat from our stairs. See photo below...
In other news, John ran the "Four on the Fourth". Which is four miles ran on the Fourth of July...lol... I did not run the race but he did great and finished like a champ!
I spent WAY too much money. We hit up New Balance and also North Conway on the rainy days. When the sun was out, I basically took advantage and sat out covered in sun screen.
We slept hostel style in the new unfinished house..it was really fun. Especially since we go to sleep on the new mattresses while the parents slept in the cottage.
We also squeezed 11 people on the pontoon boat to take the ride to Naples to see the fireworks. That adventure is a blog on it's own..lol..but the boat stayed a float (sort of) we ran out of gas, but were saved and we got to see the fire works..lol.. it was also like 2 degrees and sitting in the front of the boat we got soaked, so that was awesome too.
Overall a great vacation. I am sad to see it end:(

A blog update, WHAT?!
Ok, I know...I am guilty of not writing a blog for about...almost....4 months now? Honestly it feels like much longer than that. Anyway, a lot has happened since my last blog about Twilight.
A small update on the condo. I am still waiting on it. This short sale is turing out to be a very very long sale. A little over a week ago, my realtor called to tell me that the deal was going to go through. That the bank wanted to change a bunch of things in the contract but he talked them out of it. At that time, he told me that would call me the next day and that it would most likely be that the condo was MINE. Well...it's been a week since that day and still nothing. Oh well, if it doesn't go through soon I am seriously going to tell them to forget it and to give my down payment back so I can start looking for another place.
John proposed on May 15th!! We had been talking about it for a while and with money really really tight, I knew that he would be giving me his grandmother's ring. So I knew it was going to happen that weekend, but he couldn't wait and asked me to marry him almost as soon as he walked in the door that night. He was so cute and the ring is gorgeous! I had it on for the past month and half, but finally parted with it this week so that the center stone can be tightened. I miss it!!! We have set a date of June 6, 2010 and I am the worst procrastinator in the world, so the planning is going very slow. But at least we have the date, right?
I am currently at Camp Ghetto for the week, trying to relax. I am hoping to update my blog at least one more time before I leave. It's funny how much more time you have when you are on vacation!!
Hope everyone had a fun and safe Fourth of July. I have some photos that I may upload when I get home.
Missed you!!
