house please!

so jacob and i put a contract on a house this week. it's actually the same house we put an offer on at the beginning of the month. the seller contacted our realtor this past monday and stated they would go down on the price. we liked what we heard, so we put in another offer and they accepted!! our inspection is scheduled for monday at 10. as long as that goes well... we're good to go!! i'm beyond excited! and our expected move in date is on or before aug 27. which is only 4 weeks away!!

tonight jacob and i had dinner with my parents and his dad and step mom at red lobster. it was a success too! they had never met, so i'm very happy everyone appeared to have a good time, which i knew we would!

heading to troy tomorrow for a lazy afternoon with the fiance.

10 weeks from tonight i'll be a married woman on my honeymoon! crazy!

11 weeks...

i can't believe in 77 days, i will be in my wedding dress, finishing pictures, and waiting to walk down the isle. i'm beyond excited and wish it would be here next weekend!!! although, maybe not that soon since i still have A LOT to do! tomorrow mom and i are heading to troy and then on to meet jacob's granny, who will be our florist. we next need to schedule a cake testing and pick out tuxes. after that it's mainly the small stuff. it'll be here before we know it.

i'm so excited about our honeymoon too. we're going on a cruise to mexico! and jacob booked for us to stay at the Battle House Hotel in Mobile to stay the night before we leave for our cruise. i LOVE that hotel. well, let me rephrase that, i LOVE the pictures and commericials of that hotel. i've never been there before! so i'm very excited about staying there!!! it's not often you stay at a 5 star hotel!! i'm a lucky girl!

work is getting busy. it's sad knowing that this month might be my last visits with a lot of these kids. some of them know already, and a few i haven't had the heart to tell them. it's hard to build a relationship with these children, especially the ones that don't have family they see or talk to, and then leave them. i know it has to be done, and i'll just be getting new kids in pike county. but it's still hard.

today is july 17. 4 years ago today i adopted meko and he came home with me. today is his "got ya day!"

busy

sorry for the lack of posts. life has been crazy busy!! this time last week i was home sick with the flu. so i mostly just laid up and did nothing for a few days. i had to miss july 4th with the family at the lake, but i didn't want to risk giving the flu to anyone, especially my grandfather who hasn't been in the best health lately.

monday jacob and i went house looking with our realtor. we actually found a house we both loved and put an offer on the house. well, needless to say on tuesday after a few counter offers, we learned the seller is a jerk and wants way more out of the house than it's worth! so we had to walk away and say no. the pressure is on to get a house... i do not want to continue renting!! i'm tired of throwing my money away.

tonight jacob and i went and looked a two more houses, but yet again, were disappointed with what we saw. i know the right house for us is out there... somewhere!

i transfer to Pike Co DHR on august 16th. i'm sad to leave Elmore, but then again, i'm getting pretty tired of some of my current cases, so new cases might be a little refreshing! you can only handle so much drama with families until it starts to get to you!!

tomorrow i have my first wedding dress fitting!! yay. and then my friend lindsey is having her baby shower! tomorrow will be a good day!

minus the fact i won't see my love! =(

happy weekend!
