the house we put an offer on last week didn’t work out.  come to find out, the house was “flipped”… and to make a long story short, lots of lenders don’t like that.  all these anti flip rules and stuff.  but it was a blessing in disguise.  the house we had put an offer on was in lewisville… and the bump in the process made us re-examine our choice.  neither one of us wanted to move that far from our families.  sure - staying in the mid cities means a long drive to work… but we don’t want a trip to mom’s be an hour or anything of the sort.  so we resumed our search last night and found a wonderful little home in euless.  it’s better than any of the houses we’ve found… we looked at larger/newer homes, but we love this older, remodeled home that is in an established neighborhood.  the owners have done a terrific job redoing the house … wood floors, beautiful kitchen, etc.  so we made an offer and should hear back tomorrow.  i’m keeping my fingers crossed that this is the one.  jeromy and i both really like this house… a lot.  on top of everything, i found out that my personal trainer lives six houses down from the property, so that rocks.  my trainer is a doll and i love talking to her.  we’ve been meaning to get together outside of the gym to hang since we get along so well.  knowing that i’d have a built-in buddy in the neighborhood just puts the icing on the cake.  but it’s in god’s hands and i know that we’ll end up wherever we’re supposed to be.

jeromy’s leaving town this weekend to go to california for a week.  i’m certainly going to miss the guy.  i’m looking forward to hanging out with my mom, grandma, and aunt, though - should be a fun get together for us girls.

i really thought i had more to blog about, but i guess i don’t.  oh yeah - jeromy and i are going to have a site for our wedding information.  after that, we’re going to combine blogs into one site.  more to come on that soon.
