Hello readers!
I am pleased to announce that we are getting a house! yay! We put in an offer on Saturday and it was approved that same day. Pending an inspection and appraisal, we will have a house. The crazy part is...ALL THE PAPER WORK. There are so many things that I didn't think would matter...that do. For example, Alex sold his car in Puerto Rico through a cash transaction. there is no true paper trail, so we had to back track and get the guy who bought it to sign a bunch of papers...I'm sure he thinks we're shady. Also, when I asked about the garage sale we plan on doing Saturday, I was told that I needed to make sure that I documented everything. *sigh*....and that's the easy stuff. The good news is that we are actually ahead of the game; so even though we are young, we are at least on top of things.
On another note, my mom had some health problems this last week and failed to inform us that she was in the hospital for 7 days until after she was discharged...that was really stressful. I have definitely been indulging. Lord save me!
Tonight, Alex and I rented Just Go With It and The Dilemma. We are going to relax and watch movies. I need to calm my nerves. I feel like I may emotionally eat all the chocolate in this small town if I don't...And I am not a big fan of chocolate, so something is truly wrong.

Hello everyone,
Tomorrow we are going to look at a house! yay! we are really excited about it. We are hoping it is the last house we have to look at...but we've hoped that each time. We are looking forward to this house because it has what we've been looking for: 3 bd 2 bath, big yard (with a fence! :D), 2 parking places, it's pretty sweet. We are saving up for the estimated closing costs. We have a fully-financed loan, so that's all we have to pay up front. According to the usual way closing costs are split between seller and buyer (conservatively) we have $1500 more to save up...wouldn't be so stressful, but we are hoping to close on a house ASAP. We are to be out of our rental by August 1st at the latest...which is pretty soon.
On another note, it's Dukey's birthday tomorrow and we are going camping to celebrate. She works Saturday, so we are going out to camp Saturday night. I haven't been camping in almost 2 years. My husband and I are getting amped up about it. I think most of our friends are. I am excited to be outdoors and have nothing to worry about except how evenly my ribs get cooked. :) I love Alaska.
Also, my cousin Smelly Jr, my aunts, my dad and step-mommy, and I are going to be having a garage sale (hopefully next weekend). I have a ton of clothes, books, and candles that I am going to try to offload. I think most of my family has clothes, but they probably have household items as well...I just got married, my household items are new and limited...haha. But I am excited about it. It's like a game..like "lets see how crappy my sense of style is". Your score will be tallied by how many age appropriate people buy your clothes... :)
Other news, Smelly Jr won 3rd place in the local salmon derby with a 43.5 lb king salmon. WAY TO GO SMELLY! (chops smack chops smack chops smack in uncle Smelly fashion) <---for those I am not related to. My great uncle, who passed a few years back, use to smack his chops like he was bored whenever he did something awesome; like it was no big thing. It's become a "thing" in our family and it always makes me smile to think of him. He was the greatest.

Friday
Hello all,
Today is Friday! Hallelujur! This week has been a mess of emotion...but that is me. I have been trying to figure out this house situation and it's been a major stressor for me. I need to just relax and understand that it will happen for me, but I'm not the relaxin' type. Today I was pre-melt down for at least 5 hours. I was ready to lose it on a person for leaning over the fax machine...but seriously, it's not like you're a goalie, back the frick up! I quickly realized I needed to take a step back and think about what I was about to say. Instead of "ok, I'm up to giving you an attitude adjustment" I said "hey, are there any faxes coming in? no, ok. Do you mind if I fax something right quick?" and then I kicked her in the face...with my mind. I found myself getting pissed off at the sound of people's voices today. Not uncommon for me; but it was just fax-queen. It was another person, who, yes, gets on my nerves, but I can deal with. It felt like nails on a chalk board. I wanted to bust through the doors dividing our offices and ask them to please lower their voices. It was like college all over again...except in college I really did ask people to keep it down...yes, I was that person in the dorms. However, I don't think it's right that I have to listen to you and your gf fight for ALL hours of the night and then have wild crazy make up sex after. I get it, you're passionate people...but please keep the passion volume on low. I'm just sayin'. Save it until I'm not home and I won't judge your sex life on a scale of 1-10 (6, btw). I'm not saying that you need to speak to each other through intense staring. I just think that you should save the buck-wild stuff for when you're out of ear shot. When I'm on the other side of the wall, pretend you're parents are on the other side of the not-so-thin wall.
*sigh* anyways, I worked out with Smelly Jr last night and today we are to go a-walking. Bean is coming over for dinner with the kiddos and I am excited to do nothing tomorrow in the AM. I hope you all have a great weekend!
