That's just crazy talk!

I know, I know... It has been forever since I last blogged. You should really forgive me though because life has been crazy. And that is no overstatement.

Phil and I started our house hunt again. In the last week and a half we looked at 11 houses. After the 9th house I started to get frustrated. Phil and I were not agreeing on anything! When I loved a house, he hated it. When he loved a house, I hated it. So at the 9th house I told our realtor that we are never going to agree on anything so good luck on finding us a house. Then we were off to house #10. We both LOVED IT! It was the first house we looked at that we both liked! Since we both liked it I got really excited. Then the realtor told us that there is already an offer on the house. SERIOUSLY! But then she told us that the offer will most likely fall through. Phew! But we won't know until March 26th if we can put an offer in. I'm hoping that the other people's offer falls through and I hope we get it!!! The house is perfect for us. Let's see... it was built in 1992, 1,900 some square feet upstairs and another 1,900 unfinished square feet downstairs (in the walk-out basement), and 35 acres. We don't really need that many acres of course but a local farmer rents out about 30 acres.

Here is a picture!


So right now we are told to patiently wait and see................................. I will let you know what happens!

Other exciting news is that I am officially done with college!! Yay! I turned in the last of my finals last night! :-) I'm free! I don't know what to do with myself but I love it!

That's all I've got for you right now. It is time to go do laundry, clean and give the dogs a much needed bath. Phil and I leave for Florida on Monday so I'm sure I'll blog when I get back and tell you all about it.

P.S. I promise I will blog more often!

What’s going on in my life?? Well, I can definitely say that there is too much happening at one time and there is a whole lot of negative but let’s talk about the positive!

On Saturday I got a new tattoo. I love, love, love it! It is for my dad, who I miss more and more every day. In a little tiny way this tattoo makes me feel better. It gives me a little bit of control in a place where I have none.

Sunday was Valentines Day. Phil and I spent the whole day at home relaxing! It was quite nice. He spoiled me rotten with candy, flowers, a gift, lunch and rocky road ice cream! He knows that rocky road ice cream is the way into my heart. :-) Love you babe!

Phil and I recently bought our tickets to Florida. Yep, March 22nd we will be leaving on a jet plane to Fort Lauderdale! I seriously cannot wait to get the hell out of here for 5 days! I am very much in need of a vacation!

I just talked to my mom and she is doing fantastic! Things were quite rocky for a while there but everything seems to be going very good now. She got back on her feet and is starting to enjoy life again. I can’t wait to go visit her and Jackylyn in a few weeks! For the first time in years I can definitely say that she sounds like her old self again. It feels good to have her back. :-)

I have 5 more weeks of school left which means I’m half way done with my last quarter! I am so ready to be done! The Monday after I finish my last day of school we are leaving for Florida. It is kind of my treat to myself for finishing this degree.

Phil's sister Val makes handmade jewelry and I just bought a ring from her collection. I just got it in the mail today and I love it! She also sent me a free pair of earings along with it! She does awesome work so if you are intersted you should check out her site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/valkasinskas.

That’s about it for the positives in life right now so I’ll leave it at that.
