Dreams Do Come True.....

Rob and I are going through the wonderful, FRUSTRATING, world of buying a home. We have an amazing realtor, Manny, who is walking us step by step through the process. We are currently under contract on our amazing dream home and cannot wait for it to finally be ours. We kind of hand this one fall in our laps really. I was looking online and saw the posting on our realtors Facebook page. I messaged Manny that day and he said we could go look at it the same day. So we did, Rob and I LOVED the house and knew it was time to make an offer without having any lingering doubt. So we did and they accepted the same day, first offer and everything!!! Rob and I were in Wal-Mart when Manny called us with the news. We are sooooo super excited about it. We are working on getting all the paperwork needed to the bank now and of course the inspection. So once all our Is are dotted and Ts are crossed, on June 1st we will be home owners!!!! 

Keep us in your prayers through this process b/c it can and is super stressful at times. Also, Robs moms home is under contract so she will be moving closer to us!!! God is working and its awesome to see His hand in everything!!!

Here is a link to the house we are soon to call our HOME!!!!

Weight Watchers Update

This week was the last week left on my big pass for WW. I have made the choice to not go to meetings for a month but to keep track online and keep on going. We need to save money in our household and I feel this is one way we can do that. I am now 81 pounds down and I am not going to stop. Its time now to work on it more and get moving more!!!

When I head back to the meetings in a month I hope the scale is my friend :O) Will be keeping track here at home so I can make sure I am doing well.

Moving and Measuring, that's the key!!

This past Thursday I went to weigh in and was super ready to see if my efforts the past week had paid off. Got on the scale and BAM....80.6 pounds GONE!!! HECK YES!!!! I am soooooo excited and cannot wait to keep going. 


Keep going, even with a few speed bumps, never give up--that is my motto!!

real FRIENDS and friends

Yes its time for me to get on my soap box for a minute...

With Facebook these days anyone can be friends. Its sad to though b/c some people who are my friends on Facebook are not FRIENDS to my face. I have tried to be FRIENDS with most on my friends list but when I get nothing in return that is a hint to me that they don't want to be my FRIEND. So someday soon, I will be deleting those so called friends--yes the ever dreaded deletion of friend...HA HA!!!! If I only have one FRIEND when I am left, that is fine with me, at least I know I can count on that person.

My point in this post: If you are my friend then be my friend everywhere. don't pretend just to make others happy, really I don't need you in my life if you don't want to be there. :O)

remembering WHO is in charge....

So I know its been a while since I blogged but I have been thinking a lot lately about priorities. I have a "plan" for my life but I need to remember that God has HIS plan for my life. God has definitely shown me that HE is in control. I want to buy a house so bad right now but there hasn't really been anything that was perfect or that has come easily. We have put an offer on one house and through negotiations it just didn't pan out. I was upset and made BUT I realize its not the right one. God will provide the right house for us and I just need to be patient in allowing Him to show it to us.

Another thing that has been heavy on my heart is of course being a mommy one day. Rob and I are not ready at this point but we do want to have kids. And of course in my mind the plan should be Buy a house and the have babies. I guess what I need to remember is that any house can be a home for us and our bambinos and that we will be great parents no matter where we live. I want the "American Dream" so badly but I need to just sit back and let God handle it all.

So basically, my priority is to let go and LET GOD. He is in control no matter what I chose so I need to move my butt out of the way and let Him work.

Will do GOD!!!

Frustrated but not Giving Up

So the house hunt is not going as I had planned. Of course I wanted to find the perfect house fast and immediately move in. Not so fast little girl is what I have been told. We has the approval for the money for buying a home but we just cant seem the find THE ONE!! We have put an offer on one but cant seem to get the seller to meet us halfway, so we are letting that one go away. Rob is so level headed about the whole situation but not me. I want a house, and I want it now. Reality though is we need to keep looking. We have house that we are renting and its perfect for now. We are kind of going to take a little break for the hunting, although we will still look, but not four houses every other day like it seemed we were doing. This is a harder hunt than I expected it to be. The right one will be found, I just need to patient and let God show it to us.

Happy Hunting!
