Mother's Day

Today was a great day. Aunt Teresa invited the family over for a Mother's Day brunch. Pretty much the entire family was there. There was soooo much food! We had eggs, bacon, pancakes, a few quiches, coffee cake, french toast pie, sandwiches, bagels, etc. I was SO stuffed. All the mothers got a special seat at the dining table with champagne and orange juice and a flower. My cousin Michelle is in town for the next week. She brought her little dog Baby Cash on the plane. He was so cute. He burned his feet when walking on the pavement :( It's always nice to see family. We all sat and watch an old video of our family way back in the day. Wow it's amazing how everyone has changed! Here's a few pictures from today :)

House Hunting....First week

Yesterday was our first day for house hunting. We found a couple of really cute townhomes in the Wellington area. We have been looking in that area for a while because the schools are really great. Dale & I really loved the 3rd place we looked at. It was a two-story 3 bedroom 2.5 bath townhome. It needed a little work, but it is being offered at a great price and we just loved the layout of the home. The thing we loved the most was the quiet neighborhood. It just seemed so peaceful. In fact, we even bumped into one of the owners of a different townhome and she said it was very quiet and a nice place to live. We saw a few other townhomes after that, but for some reason that one townhome keeps sticking in our minds. The current owners were also willing to throw in a $2500 decorating bonus to replace the flooring and whatever else we wanted to replace. We definitely want to look at a few more places before making a decision, but this one looks promising :)

Getting Preapproved for our first home...

Today Dale & I got pre-approved for our first home. I was amazed of how good our credit is! All the hard work of paying off our debt has really paid off. We are going to start looking next Saturday and we're really excited! We will finally have a place we can truely call home. We both really look forward to decorating our house at Christmas, having family BBQs in the back yard, celebrating birthday parties with friends and family, and decorating our home. This is the start of a new chapter in our lives. We're ready to take the next step in our marriage. Everyday our love seems to grow stronger and stronger. It's just amazing how beautiful love can be if you just open your heart and let it lead you. We're excited to share our journey of purchasing our first home. There will be more to come for sure.
