Thanks Ya’ll!

  • Wow! You guys have been so much help in the home buying process I can’t say enough! As first time home buyers we are really torn as to what to do. We looked at some more houses today and ultimately ended up back at the house shown below. We really REALLY love it and the agent is trying to work with us on the price…but if we can’t get it within our budget then we will just have to hold off a bit. That is fine with me as we can rent and continue to save until something we love in our price range comes up. I am just afraid of the interest rates going up soon! We are going to venture back out tomorrow and look at some more houses….see if anything turns up!
  • Also-I know I talk about my long drive to work a lot! LOL! And yes-I did interview for another job in Dallas, but ultimately I think I want to wait because there are actually three locations closer to where we will be living and I think it will be a better place for me…in the mean time I continue to commute, but that’s okay because I just crank up the radio and listen to my morning shows and before you know it I am there!

Thank you so much everyone for all your advice and honesty about your situations…I know the world is so uncertain right now and it’s definitely hard to make life changing decisions. Part of me just wants to continue to rent because I know if anything does happen we will be safe, the other part wants to take that next step….we shall see….

Love bunches – Becky

House Hunting

We met our real estate agent last night to look at this house. It is more than we wanted to spend, but because it’s brand new the builders are really trying to sell it. It’s already finished out and we would have to close in a month! Ahhh!!! There is also the option to build. I’m so torn as to what to do, but we both fell in love with this house. I don’t want to be house poor though 🙁 So many decisions! I mean it’s either we get a nicer house and take that next step with the low low interest rates right now and the 8K tax credit, or a starter home that we aren’t completely in love with….what would you do???? It’s over 2300 square feet, I mean we don’t have the furniture to furnish this baby anyways! ha..ha… but I do LOVE it! It’s everything we wanted.
Front of the house, it has very LITTLE yard…which Terence loves…but what about for re-sale?
The Living Room-hand scraped hardwood floors

Media Room-Terence’s dream room! LOL!

Potty room

Dining Room

Kitchen-they will include all the stainless steel appliances

Staircase-except ours had the iron spindles and dark wood finish

It has 3 brm/2.5 baths & a Study

WHAT WOULD YOU DO????

The Vampire Diaries

Have any of you heard of the new show coming to CW called “The Vampire Diaries“? They are totally copying off of Twilight…but I still may watch it just to check it out and see how it is. I guess they saw a hit and now turned it into a TV show.

Also-Look who my BFF Sara ran into at Stoby’s in Conway the other day! Kris Allen (American Idol Winner)…she’s so silly! He took a picture with her preggers self and she said he was very sweet 🙂

Summer time & some road rage

It is HOT outside ya’ll! This morning I drove to work in a lightning blazed thunderstorm and I stayed in the grandma lane going 35 mph because I was scared. This afternoon I drove home in sunshine and 90 degree heat….what’s up with that??? I have some major road rage and most of the time it begins with “you idiot!!!” and then I have to calm myself and turn on some Sara McLaughlin “In the Arms of an Angel” you better believe I want to fly away from here! LOL! That song always relaxes me…..
Anyways-these are some dont’s while driving:

  • Don’t pull yourself in front of an eighteen wheeler going 70+ miles per hour!
  • Don’t be a stupid head and rear end the slow person in front of you! (the truck in front of me yesterday hit the car in front of them…stupid…I know)
  • Don’t ride a motorcycle on the shoulder because you think you are so cool you don’t have to wait in traffic like everyone else!
  • Don’t talk on your cell phone, put on your makeup, or shave your legs while driving…it can wait…trust me!
  • Prepare-Don’t wait until the last second to try and make your exit…ain’t nobody gonna let you over!

Okay that’s about it for today’s lesson in driving…thanks for letting me vent 🙂

My sweet co-worker Julie got me this awesome necklace and sarong to wear this summer…because Lord knows nobody wants to see my white bootie uncovered! I love me some chunky jewelry. She is precious! Thank you Julie! Terence is at the gym right now, that is where I should be….but I’m too busy thinking about what to have for dinner….Lord give me willpower to go! Hope ya’ll are having a great week! Becky

Isn’t it sunshiney!

28th Birthday

I woke up this morning and Ter-Bear cooked us breakfast….bacon, eggs, and fruit. We headed to Frisco to try out The Cupcakery. There is one in Vegas where Bonnie lives and they recently put one here in Texas too.
It was sooooo GOOD!

MMMMMMMM…………..
You see this Bon??? Everything is BETTER in Texas! ha..ha..
Coffee…

Yummy tiramisu from Maggiano’s Friday night…seriously the best tiramisu I’ve ever had!

Sweet gift from my co-workers…I love them!

I’ve been wanting new bedding for awhile and today we got new shams, quilt, and euro shams from Restoration Hardware. I love that place!

Also got two pillows for the sofa to break up all the BROWN

A soft furry throw for me because I am always cold and I live with Terence the “living furnace”

I had a wonderful birthday today! Thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes I feel so loved and blessed! I’m getting old ya’ll…30 is right around the corner!!!!
