So having really cute shoes has it's hazards. I never used to care about things like cute shoes and jewlrey and all that, but over the last year or so that has been changing. I have this great pair of blue strappy sandals that I absolutely love. They perfectly match 2 of my favorite shirts and are super comfortable and totally cute. I get compliments on them EVERY time I wear them. They hav e little higher and narrower heel than I am really used to wearing, but it's not too bad. However, I learned the hard way today to not try and walk down uncarpeted stairs in these particular shoes. I was headed down to meet Adam for lunch and got about half way down the first flight of steps when I caught my heel on something and proceeded to BOUNCE down the rest of the flight. Now don't get me wrong, I have plenty of cushion back there, but I managed to tuck my leg under me and I am now developing a lovely bruise on my left foot, thigh and at the lowest point on my back. All I can say is it really hurts, and there is something that totally sucks about not being able to lean back against anything!
Oh the things women put themselves through for fashion. Maybe I don't want to be such a girl anymore!
I will be the first to admit, I am a Harry Potter FREAK! I have read all the books several times over, I love to speculate about what's to come, and as you probably guessed, I was at a bookstore at 12:01 last night waiting to get my book. I finally got home with the book at about 1am and made it all the way until 5 before I had to put it down and get some sleep. I was up again by about 8:30 and other than the hour after Adam got up at 11 and he made me eat and take the dog to the vet, I continued reading until I finished the book about 2 hours ago. For now I will put the book down until Monday when I will start reading it a second time, a chapter at a time to really be able to take in the amazing talent of Ms. Rowling. I will not spoil anything here for anyone who wishes to read the book on their own, but I will say this: I am happy with how the book ended, not what I was expecting, but VERY well done. Now it's time for a nap.
We closed on our house on Friday March 30th. I know it's been almost a week, but we've been crazy painting and moving, and it's still not done. As soon as we get stuff moved in and settled I promise I will post new pictures!
I am happy to repport that pending the appraisal, inspections, and final financing details, Adam and I have bought our first house. I can't tell you how excited I am. We really really love this house, we knew it was ht one we wanted from the moment we walked in. The next few weeks are going to be a little crazy, but we're shooting for a March 28th closing.
Well last night we found IT! Adam and I walked into a house with our realtor and just got that "This is our House" feeling. We made an offer last night, but won't hear on it until today, and I am so nervous!! There are a ton of pics in the gallery, although some of them aren't the greatest, and some are from the listing. I'll let you know when we hear about the offer!
