House Update

After some pondering and negotiating Luke and I were unable to come to an agreement with the seller. I was very strict with our budget and our highest bid and although it was just a little bit over, we walked away. So for now its back to just looking. I know someday we will find the perfect house for us. We are in no rush :)

Offer number 1

So i am not to sure how this all happened so fast, But our house that we liked from this post could be ours by November 30. Sunday it was having an open house so we took our parents down to see it. My step dad was all for it. I think its actually his fault that this is happening. haha. The house needs a lot of cosmetic work (wall paper galore, old carpet, and yellow counters) But the house seems like it has a good structure. Obviously we will not buy if the home inspection person comes back with some bad news.

Its legit we put an offer on it today. Its the real deal. I am excited/ nervous/ anxious all in one. We low balled them and they will probably counter. We have a set number that we will not go over and im sticking to it.

I hope we are making the right choice.

Fun Fall Activities

I love fall :) At my before and after school program we have been keeping busy by completing fun fall activities. Here are a few:

We painted little pumpkins. How cute are they. The one with the face in the front is mine :) The kiddies had so much fun painting pumpkins. It was cheap too. I bought the pumpkins 8 for a dollar :)

We made these cute skeletons out of q-tips. They were a little hard to glue to the paper, but it worked out and they are so cute!

As a group we went on a nature walk. The kiddies had bags and they were to collect anything they wanted. We then came back to the class and hot glued our findings on to the poster board.

The kiddies made watercolor leaves. We then made a big tree and some pumpkins to add to the picture. This is right outside our room.

Voting is just around the corner. To support voting we made posters to remind parents/staff to vote :)

Right now we are working on making Halloween decorations for the Hospital. We are going to donate the decorations to the Children's floor.

I am excited for this weekend. Luke and I are going to a PSU game :)

EPIC FAIL

I failed... completely. I have not booked the reception hall or called the caterer. In fact i have not done a damn thing. Thank God we have a long engagement because if we were to be getting married this summer..im pretty sure id be in the dog house. I need motivation. Whats wrong with me? Why am i not motivated? I have always wanted to plan my own wedding... i am such an organizer and far in advance planner...i. just. can. get. motivated.


Why? I think i know. Possibly. I live at home. Luke lives at home. Its financially the right thing to do. So in all honestly i feel like we are in HS again. I go to work all day till 6, he is at work all day till 5. We see each other for a few hours because of my desperate need of sleep. Then he goes home i go to bed. Repeat. I dont feel engaged. Besides the fact that i just started working and its not like we are swimming in the dough. Its hard to start to plan a wedding with no idea of what the budget could/should be.

i stuck. help
