WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!

We got the house! i'm so happy that everything is falling into place. It's so great that we're getting this opportunity to fix everything in our life that needed fixing. I'm hoping that this will house will allow us to get financially stable, and one day be able to buy the house of our dreams. For now, this house is more than enough. I'm so grateful to everyone that helped us get this place.

I can't wait to move! but i'm thinking probably another two months or so with my parents. the closing date for the house is August 30th which so happens to be my birthday. The keys to the house would be a great birthday gift. but we're gonna clean and fix the place up a little more before we move in. So that means paint, new tile in the kitchen, another round of carpet cleaning (for Tai's sake...he doesn't believe that it's already been professionally cleaned), a new range in the kitchen, and removal of those cabinets in the garage. Once all that is done, we'll pack up the truck and move right on in!

i'm hoping this house will be the start of a better life for all of us.

I'm crossing my fingers

Tai & I saw a house today that we both like. After weeks of disagreeing, i'm so happy that we've finally found one that we both can see ourselves living in. I mean, it has a couple of imperfections, but nothing that makes us wanna run the other direction. It has open space which i love, and it's so close to my parents. And above all the price is more than reasonable. At that price we definitely will be living so much more comfortably.

My mom has started the paperwork already. Now i'm just feeling the apprehension about whether we're offering enough. My mom went up $10,000 more. I'm just wondering if that's enough. She's insisting that it is. So i'm crossing my fingers and hoping that they accept the offer.

I'm already beginning to think about what i can do to make improvements to the house. It needs paint, which is really giving me a headache just thinking about it. I'm so bad with colors. I'm gonna need a lot of help! We have brown couches, and by just surfing the web, i was able to find out that the compliment color of brown is cyan (kind of a blue/green). From there, i'm LOST! so if anyone has any ideas about colors, please leave me a comment (please be specific, i need all the help i can get =) thanks!).

It also needs a stove. I'm thinking about black and stainless steel. The kitchen floor would look great in tile instead of the dingy tile that's already in it.

I hope that we get this place.

Beautiful things for a beautiful home...soon i hope.

Spoiled

It's only been a day that i've been staying with my parents and i'm already starting to hate it. but not for the reason that you may think. i mean i'm thankful for my parents taking us in and for all the help they've given us, but Stailynne is even more harder to take care of over there. they spoil her so much that she wants what she when she wants it. so she's crying a lot now which usually was not a problem for me when we were living on our own.

it makes me sad too coz she doesn't call for me anymore. she either wants her lola or lola. i worked yesterday and i was so excited to see her. so when she woke up from her nap i ran to her room and when she saw me she said "lolo?" ...[sigh]...

i hope we get a house soon, so that i can have my mommy's girl back.

21 Months today!

My baby will be 2 years old in three months. I still can't believe it! To me it doesn't seem that long ago that she was a newborn. Now she's running around everywhere like a pro, talking more and more, and being just a brave as she can be. I don't think she's scared anything! She sure wasn't scared of the 6 feet area of the pool. She jumped right in! and along came her lola too!

Happy 21 months baby girl! i love u.

It's all going so fast...

It seems like things are happening so fast. I don't want to leave this place. I brought my daughter home from the hospital to this house. I just thought that I would have more time here.

I cannot stop what's going on so i'm trying to think optimistically. Yes it seems like we're losing a lot but i would like to think that we starting a new beginning. We're gonna start all over again. Hopefully this time we do it right.

Bye house...i'll miss u ;(
