It's official! We are homeowners!

Money went out yesterday. Bank account is sad, but we have a home now! Can't move in for at least a couple of months, but still excited! Being married and living at home for 2 years is hard...eesh. Bathroom work will hopefully begin soon. With the help of Thomas, Jon and I have picked out the tile colors, the cabinet color and design, countertop color, sinks, faucets, shower head, etc...it's tougher than it sounds...it's like how many different types of shower heads can there be!?
Anyhow, I'm still at work...Friday is my last day! Woo-hoo! I've been trying to catch up and clean things up a bit.
Oh! This is gross...last week there was a cockroach on my desk at work!! It went into my coffee cup, and I freaked out! I was seriously considering getting someone to kill it for me (I don't kill insects), so I put a pile of paper on top of my cup. The last thing I wanted was for the cockroach to come out of my cup and attack me. So, I forgot all about the cockroach over the Thanksgiving holiday, and when I came back to work, I had dead moldy cockroach in my cup. GROSS. I had to seriously disinfect my cup with hot water, and I poured dishwashing liquid into my cup. EW. It still grosses me out whenever I think about it.

Back to work...

I must say it's hard coming back to work after a 3 day weekend. Anyhow, I can't believe it's been more than a week since I have blogged! Well, I guess that's because nothing interesting has happened. I have been driving EVERYWHERE (well, it feels like everywhere) trying to find furniture. I REALLY wanted this 3 piece sectional from Pottery Barn in suede, but it came out to be like $4K! =( Sad face. So, then I went to Wickes, and found a similar sectional for I think $1,200ish...don't remember. But then I went to Easy Life and found one for $750! BUT...it's smaller, which might be a good thing because our living room isn't that big. So...we'll see what we end up buying...haven't decided yet...

Tea time with some gal pals

Yesterday, Charlene, Cynthia, Jean, Jennifer, and I went to Two A Tea in Glendora for tea and sandwiches. It seems like lately, I've been going to afternoon tea a lot. So much fun! And it's always nice to get together with friends and just chat and catch-up!
On Sunday, I will having afternoon tea and sandwiches again at Julie's Bridal Shower, so I'm looking foward to that, too! =)

The House Hunt is OVER??

Jon and I are excited to let everyone know that we are in escrow! The house is located in the Highland Oaks area of Arcadia (near Foothill and Santa Anita). As most of you know, we have been looking for a LONG TIME and during this time, there have been many disappointments.
We close escrow on 11/27 (it's kinda bad timing because I will be delivering around that time...but we are still happy and excited). It kinda works out because we won't be able to move in for at least a couple of months. So I guess it works out? =)
Some work needs to be done on the home (such as ripping out the carpet, updating the bathrooms, and adding some recessed lighting). And after that is done, we have to order our furniture which will take about 2-3 weeks to arrive. So...unfortunately, we won't be having guests over any time soon, but we look foward to inviting everyone over at some point when we are all settled in. Well...maybe not everyone at the same time. It's a small starter home. =)

THANK YOU!

Family and Friends:

Also, many THANKS to all the great gifts! We are so grateful to have such wonderful family and friends! Everything will come in handy! I can't wait to put Nathan in all the clothes and have him play with all the toys!
