Short Sale

This weekend we offered on a short sale, we've been told 4-8 weeks before we hear whether the bank has accepted our offer or not. The house is located up in the Avenues just minutes from Memory Grove. I really hope that we get it. It has a super nice kitchen, almost to nice. I like our kitchen better because to me its way more functional, but I can adjust to having crown molding in my kitchen if I have to. My favorite part of the house it the yard. Its completely fenced in, a big fence in the back and a picket fence around the front. It has a huge front porch and Pookey Bear and I would get porch swings. There is a spot in the back for a small garden (lots of tomatoes) and places outside for red tulips. The hardwood floors are new through out the house and are dark, I love them too.

We've decided that we wouldn't do anything but yard work and painting on moving in. The folks that lived there before really liked the color yellow. I like yellow to, but not as much as them. I'll keep ya'll updated.

Week 2 Complete

So I've lost a total of 5 pds on Weight Watchers so far, it really helps that the husbandtobe fixes me lunches in the morning. I haven't felt hungry for the most part, and I haven't really exercised, my goal for next week is to incorperate at least 30 mins of exercise each day.

So its official we've got the church. The schedule for the coming year has come out, the priest signed off on the paper work and we spent all of last weekend at Engaged Encounters, the Catholic marraige prep course. It was cool.

Random Thoughts

Thehusbandto be and I went to Chicago this weekend. Saturday was the second time in my life that I woke up in my own puke. I was embarassed. Here we are staying in this really nice house (husbandtobe sister's and fiance) and I can't remember anything after my second vodka and soda. I'm never doing that again and the idea that I might limit it to 3 drinks at the wedding might be a great idea.

Despite the above we had a fabulous time. Saturday, what was suppose to be morning but turned out more like afternoon we went to the former downtown Marshall Fields, now and 8 floor Macy's and registered for our wedding.

I'm down 5pds on Weight Watchers, I think it helped that I puked every thing that I ate on Friday. Sisterinlaw to be doesn't really keep much food in the fridge and so my options were either nothing or non healthy things. I ate like a bird this weekend. My official weigh in isn't until Wed so we'll were I really am in 2 days.

Anyway I'm having a little bit of a dilema. I have a good friend who works for a swanky interior design magazine. She sent me links to check out which has be questioning my china choice (pictured). We are getting that set sans the tea cups. I thought it was really cool as its a bit contempary yet not over the edge, as in it will be attractive in 20 yrs. I'm gonna review the links and decide then.

Weight Watchers

So over the weekend its was officially 5 months till the wedding, we even bought Pat wedding band. We are really getting married. I'm 10 pds heavier than I was when I tried on my wedding dress. First thing first I need to loose 10 pds, so I started Weight Watchers today. I thought that it would be easy, but after tracking what I ate for today it might be harder than I think.
