“Our” House v. 2.0

November 11, 2009

We barely had any time to rest after the soiree finished on Friday evening.  On Monday afternoon we finally closed on the house that we’ve been under contract on for nearly 2 months.  It was not without drama though – since we closed at 3pm on Monday and the transaction was not technically recorded until […]

RIP Soiree ‘09

November 8, 2009

Despite the fact that the soiree of 2009 was a huge source of stress in my life for a few months – we had a really great time hanging out with our family and friends on Friday night.  I was looking through the guestbook from our Photobooth this afternoon and the pictures just totally made […]

Countdown to the Soiree – T-Minus 1 day

November 5, 2009

Danny and I spent the better part of the past 4 hours downtown helping get things set up for the party tomorrow night.  Neither one of us is really all that helpful when it comes to helping decorate or arrange things on the table.  However, we are both pretty good at following directions – and […]

Countdown to the Soiree – T-Minus 4 Days

November 3, 2009

I have a few rules that I generally try to stick to during the work week: 1.) No beverages that contain tons of caffeine – I find that I sleep much, much better if I do not subject myself to copious amounts of this during the work week.  Generally, I let myself have a cup […]

Countdown to the Soiree T-Minus 5 Days

November 2, 2009

Honestly, I cannot even begin to imagine how most girls are able to pull off the whole "magical wedding day" thing without damn near losing their minds.  Here we are the Monday before my post-wedding reception and I am on the brink of having another major panic attack.  Looking back, I never, ever, ever should […]

Spoke To Soon

October 28, 2009

Today was supposed to be our closing date on the new house.  Unfortunately, as soon as I hit “post” on my last entry, everything pretty much went to hell on the deal.  Actually, the deal is still on – but, we are having some serious issues with our lender.  It isn’t that we cannot get […]

“Our” House

October 22, 2009

After a bunch of weeks of looking at houses (that for the most part totally sucked), we finally had a bit of luck and stumbled onto a really nice house in what seems like a great neighborhood.  After debating the pros and cons of the house for a very long time, we decided to make […]

Rough Day At The Office

October 13, 2009

My computer at work is running super slow and while waiting for the disc cleanup utility to run I happened to glance across the office to see what the Security Director is doing ..

From the iPhone

October 11, 2009

I have been planning to do a big update regarding our house hunt. We are officially under contract on a house and it is equal parts exciting and terrifying. However that post will have to wait until I get motivated to download some pictures from my camera. The point of this post is to declare […]

Don’t Forget Your Sunscreen

October 6, 2009

Ever since I was little – I have spent many, many fall weekends hanging out at Wallace Wade Stadium watching Duke football.  Some people would argue that Duke doesn’t have a football team – and, I would mostly be inclined to agree with them.  But, since Duke hired David Cutcliffe to be the head coach, […]
