Yesterday morning we closed on the condo. It was so bittersweet -- this was the first home we shared together. We got engaged here, got married here ...we've made so many amazing memories. We're really excited about the next chapter, moving into the new house, starting a family and making many new memories :)
That all being said, we are currently homeless and living out of our car and staying in a hotel. We were supposed to close on the new house today, but the sellers are dragging their feet in getting the work done.
They *should* be paving the driveway today, which is the last thing that they needed to complete. Hopefully they get it done this morning, the appraiser signs off on the work this afternoon and we can close tomorrow. There is a light at the end of this ridiculously long tunnel.
Obviously we're frustrated with this process. I'm at my wits end with promises being made, and then broken again. I hate that my entire life is disrupted and we're at the mercy of these people, who seem to have zero sense of urgency.
But we'll get there. Slowly, painfully and now broke -- but we'll get there :) Please keep your fingers crossed for us!
To anyone going through this process, a word of advice: expect the unexpected. Don't say "oh sorry that happened to you, but it won't to me". Guess what ... it WILL. You will have your heart broken, you will cry, you will yell. People will tell you things you do not want to hear. Trust the process. It's the most infuriating, exhausting and exciting thing. And from what they tell me, it's all worth it in the end.

Happy Easter Weekend!
30 March 2013
Easter has become a very important holiday in our family -- I love everything about it. The newness of spring, the fun pastels, dinner with our fam and of course, commemorating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior.
I've come a long way in my faith and especially over the past year have I really begun to grasp the magnitude of this occasion. Growing up, religion was something that we did as rote, out of habit and without fully thinking of the reasons why. I took a ten year hiatus from organized religion before converting to Catholicism. We found a beautiful church we are happy to be a part of, and I look forward to raising babies with the newfound appreciation that we have :)
Next year, when we're settled into our new home, I can't wait to decorate for Easter!
I love everything about the green grass, the bright colors and the bunnies ... I love bunnies! :)
And of course, mixed in to my springtime decor will be reminders of why we are celebrating this beautiful day:
Whatever your beliefs may be, I wish you a wonderful weekend full of love and blessings!
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ---
