Spending Time With Your Spouse

Well since I have started my new job at Panda, Drew and I have seen less and less of each other. I hate. it. I have my job at school from 8-2 then Panda sometime from 4-5 to 10 at night. I work every day of the week now and so that means that I work when Drew has off so we don't see each other. I hate it!
Tomorrow is going to be my first Saturday off since I have started Panda and I am super excited about it!! We are going to go look at a couple houses then while Drew is at work I will do homework and go to lunch with my sister-in-law Christie. We are also going to Denver with Jeff and Jenny! I'm pretty excited about that.

We may be seeing more of each other now that Drew is no longer in his lead intership position and works 5-10 rather than 1-10 and today was his last final so he is done with school until fall. I also have Monday and next Saturday off so wooohooooo!!!! :)

I wish we could spend more time together. We have not really had that time together since we got married. We have both been working and going to school that I don't think that we have really taken time for just ourselves other than camping during spring break which makes me sad. It's the end of our first year married and I would have thought that the first year would be like they say the "honeymoon" year and well it has not been really. Jeff and Jenny are really a great example to us on spending time together. They have been married for about 5 months. They make time for each other, they go do things together, go on dates, take pictures. They are super cute!

Bridal Shower

My mother-in-law gave me a bridal shower on April 21. It was fun. I'm glad everybody was able to make it who showed up. There were some problems which I will not go into but just so "people" know, do not talk crap about somebody to their family and go to their party, if you do not like the person then why are you there? Grow up!
Anyways, it was a lot of fun. Got some presents like a crock pot, cookie sheets, cooling racks, cookbooks, kitchen towels, frames, etc.
Thank you everybody who made it a fun day for me and thank you mom (Shelly) for putting it together for me. I appreciate it.
Here are a few pictures from the shower.

Sad Sad Day :(

Well guys, it is back to house hunting for us. The house didn't go through. So like I said yesterday, HUD homes go to the highest bidder. Our bid won but we found out today that the bank would only allow us to get a loan of 110 because that's what HUD appraised it for. Even though it really is worth 130-140 we cannot get a second appraisal. Anyways, so the bank would only let us get a loan for that home of 110 and would have to come up with the 19000 over on our own. Pretty shitty deal if you ask me. Sorry bout my language, I am just super frustrated. So we cancelled it and we have to wait and see if their is a second bid in line if not we can rebid but we'll see.

We saw a couple other homes today but unsure about them. Man this is ridiculous. We just want to find our home already. I'll keep you guys updated.

We got the house!!!

I don't think I have mentioned that we have been searching for homes for the past month. Man, it is so frustrating going through it. Every time we wanted to get a house somebody would already have an offer on it. We saw one pretty much across the street from where we are now but found out it was a HUD home. Apperently with those homes, the highest bid gets it. That kind of worried us. It is a nice home with 3 bed/2 bath and it was listed at 110 but is really worth like 130 or more. It was last sold for 165 I believe. Well our bid was 129 I think and we thought that that was low but we got it! We are signing all the paperwork tomorrow. I am super excited! Oh my gosh, I do not think you know exactly how happy we are to get out of these apartments and neighbors and put our money towards something that we will own. Here are the pictures of the home. :)
