We moved into the new house yesterday. Everything went well between juggling appointments and work. We had a little problem with the electricity. But it was turned on just in time to take a bath in the new jacuzzi tub! Thanks to the TXU man for stopping by and fixing it at 9pm.

Now, that doesn't necessarily make us homeowner's. Apparently the urgency to close was not pushed upon the seller. They apparently have not returned some paperwork, delaying our funding. Our realtor thinks 'this is no big deal'. I guess she's never moved into someone else's house....

Big plans this weekend for the Cowtown. It looks like the chance of rain is pretty good. Hopefully it won't drop until we're done. Then the big day has come to get the bridesmaid's dresses ordered. 10 weeks until the wedding!

We are supposed to be closing on our new house today. My realtor is so frustrating. She is new to the business- less than a year. Throughout our entire relationship with her she has made statements such as 'if you don't sign this, they may charge this' or 'if you don't do this, the seller could walk away'. It is very anti-climactic to be buying my first house and she is leading me to believe that I am lucky this seller is giving me the time of day.

The good news is that the ladies at the title and lending companies have been nothing but helpful, efficient, and communicative. So we've now pushed the closing to tomorrow. This all comes on the one week where I am actually busy at work.

I'm super excited to finally be out of the apartment!

The casino party was a good time last night. It definitely makes a big difference if you have an interactive dealer. Ours was not so interactive. But, good times were still had by all.

The party we attended was an annual employee gathering. I've been to this party for several years now and last night I found myself looking around and thinking every single girl in this room between the age of 18 -22 looks exactly the same. Thin (super thin), tan, brunette with blonde streaks, tight shirt, jeans, thick belt hanging on pants, huge earrings, and four pieces of gum in their mouth. Maybe I'm just getting old, but when did everyone start looking exactly the same?

As I write this, I am sitting at work waiting for our guests of the day to leave. We hosted a tournament on our course today. Somehow the entire golf staff has vacated the premises, yet there are still golf reps here. Now I'm late for my dinner date with long time friend.
Steaming mad.

Alright, so we finally get a freezing weekend. This is gonna be a great opportunity to sleep in finally! Nope- wide awake at 6:30am. We decided to have some breakfast at the Club's Saturday breakfast buffet. We walked in and found 3 gentleman had beat us there- noting that a day like this leaves them with nothing to do. They can't sit at home. They can't play golf.

We, however, have some things to do today. We are going to bug bomb our new house, shop for a new refrigerator, and attend a cake tasting. Hopefully we'll be able to nail down a cake today.

Tomorrow is another casino party- I'm going for the La Cima dining certificate or the six pack of wine.
