Cat Lady.

Everyone tells me that I'm going to be one of those women that are going to be "sitting in her chair, at 80 years old, with a house full of cats". I just laugh, because I could definitely see that happening.. But it won't.. I don't think.. :x

Truth is, I love all animals. If I could have a house full of any (tame) animal, I would be completely happy. I love my 3 cats, and my bunny boy. However, I do want to throw a couple of pups in there as well. What's the harm in that?

Wordless Wednesday

Engaged? Who? Me?

You know that corny saying, "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride"? That was me, but you know what? I didn't care. I've always wanted to get married, but was never in any rush. The 2 dudes I dated before my now fiancé? I was with them both for a significant amount of time, but something told me that it was just never going to happen with them.

Sid & I met 2 years ago. I got a job where my mom works, where he happens to work as well. We were friends. Not the type that talked on a daily basis, other than at work. I'd occasionally go with him, and the other guys out to get chicken wings on Friday nights after our shift was over. About 6 or 7 of us being completely immature, and complaining about our boss, of course! Eventually it grew into something much more than that. We've been together 8 months now, and a week & four days ago, he proposed. I couldn't be happier, and I couldn't ask for a better man in my life.. We have no immediate plans for the wedding, but I will be sure to keep you all updated. :)

House Hunting 2.0

I say 2.0, because we've been through it before. Just a month or so ago. We were just a week before closing on our "dream home", and we received a call from our agent telling us that our financial side fell through. They didn't want to finance a home built before 1976.. The home was built in 1974. It was a big let down. It had taken us over 2 months to get to that point, and I still to this day don't understand why it took the bank that long to realize it, but there wasn't anything we could do at that point. We had to let it all go. Even the thought of having our wedding there. It had plenty of land to be the perfect spot for our wedding, and life.

But! we didn't waste any time getting back in the game, and on the hunt for a new home. I think, if I had to guess, we've physically looked at over 30+ homes. Some we liked, but not the area. Some we liked, but not the land. Some we liked, but didn't quite care for how the neighbors were up your a$$, and sitting on your couch. (Did that make sense?) :)

This weekend, we looked at over 10 homes. The majority of them were in our area, and a few outside of that. Out of those, we found 1 that we really loved. I take that back, 2, but the second one wasn't in a very nice area, to say the least. The one that we do like will technically be closer to our work than where we are living now. A bit more in the country, but doesn't have as much land as the first home that we were trying to buy. This one has plenty for what we want to do, though. Which is a little over a half an acre, and the end of the backyard is hooked up to a corn field. I am hoping things work out, but I'm trying to not get my hopes up this time, until the keys are in our hands!

Wordless Wednesday

Sike! Since this is my first WW post, I figured I'd just have to say something. To be honest, I expect myself to fail at being wordless every time that I do this. Since I have Wednesday's off of work, that makes this even better. :)

Grateful > Ungrateful

Maybe this post will never be seen, or maybe it will, but will be overlooked? After all, I am just starting out with 5 followers (who i'm thankful for!), one of which I believe is me, where I subscribed to my own blog. :)

The other day, Sid & I were out running errands for the home that we're trying to buy. We decided to grab some lunch. At first I thought Subway, but we ended up deciding on Arby's. We don't dine there very often, but Sid wanted to get a fish sandwich that they apparently don't offer all year long? lol I decided on a small order of mozzarella sticks + a beef & cheddar sandwich. We quickly ordered at the drivethru, and pulled into a parking spot to eat, because we were becoming pressed for time. I ate my mozz sticks, and then took a bite of my sandwich. I immediately didn't like it, and voiced so. I brought up multiple times that I didn't like the sauce that they put on the sandwich, and that I don't remember them ever putting that on it, unless you asked for it on the side. I must of mentioned how bad it was 5 different times before I realized what I was doing.. Complaining about having food in front of me.

2012! New blog, first post.

First off, I'd like to say hi to everyone, and thank you for stopping by. *waves* I've attempted to start my own blog a few times, but have failed to stick with one. This time, I hope to. My problem is writing. I don't like to write about myself, I'm kinda lame. :p Maybe that's something that I will get better at, with time? I do, however, like to share photos that I've taken. I am by no means wonderful at it, but it's something that I enjoy, and I hope that you enjoy, as well.

I'll start you off with instagram pics from this past year to get this blog rollin'.
