Holler!

WE DID IT!

scott and i have found a place to LIVE. and we love it.
this is neither the Like one nor the Love one. but it sure is fabulous.

washer/dryer inside our home, beautiful hardwood floors, fireplace, cute cute cute, wonderful location for us (less than 15 minutes from both our jobs). it is small, 650 square feet, but so cute that it's perfect for a first place.

and i can paint it. any any any colors i want.
oh the happiness.

i.e. this blue. must go.

this bedroom is getting new carpet tomorrow, and a makeover from me.

we'll take better pictures tomorrow when we sign. and when we start painting!!

i can't even believe it.

oh the choices

ok, i am in the middle of shoe shopping. very close behind in priority, scott and i are apartment shopping.

the decisions.

so i have two shoes from dsw that are super cute. give me your thoughts:
there are
these in red

or these in black

both cute. both schnazzy. but i do like the idea of the red peeking out from under my dress. so fun.

as far as housing goes. scott and i have a conundrum.

we found Place We Like and Place We Love. sounds like an easy choice so far -- but there's always a twist.

Like started at $1150, it's 2br, 1 1/2 bath townhouse, washer dryer shared by three other townhouses. one parking spot. very good size and plenty of storage space.
is now priced at $1125

Love started at $1450 or $1475 i believe. very very cute. inside washer/dryer. 2 br 2bath townhouse. 2 parking spaces. very private.
is now priced at $1395

both are in point loma and both close to scott's work. not too far from mine either.

so here is our game plan. both are managed by the same people. they have both been on the market for 2 months now, or close to. i think we will call them and offer them less for Love. it's worth a shot. they might be in the mood for bargaining if no one else makes an offer for another week or two. if that just goes nowhere or someone else grabs the place, then we'll jump on Like. maybe offer them $1100 instead.

sigh.

so many choices to make. all have fun results though.

45 days

alrighty, just a quicky update.

wedding invitations have ALL been mailed out! glory hallelujah. just sent the last ones in the mail early this morning. hip hip hooray. however, i believe there are about 30 ish people that will receive HAND MADE envelopes. that's right peeps, scott and i will stop at nothing to get things done and be creative while doing it!

bridal shower number one - check. my auntie steph did a phenomenal job. phenomenal. scott and i had a blast just hanging out with people we love and being spoiled by them.

i am on the hunt for shoooes! if you see a cute red or yellow or something fun pair, send them my way! (a picture or link, not an actual pair of shoes)
i must find shoes so that i can get my dress altered so that i can wear it on my wedding day!

all wedding surprises and fun plans are coming along fantastically. our secret project is still on the move and turning out marvelously. loads of work though.

scott came up with another secret plan that makes me SO happy. i just can't wait to see how it turns out. jeesh, why am i blogging only to say that i have so many secrets and i can't tell you about them??

who knows.

well, on that note, i have some things to do today. scheduling is upon me!!
