Sewing Up a Storm

On Sunday afternoon I decided it was about time to pull out the sewing machine and get to work on my wedding dress. I had thought about buying my dress, but it seems like the simpler the dress, the higher the price. All I wanted was a simple white dress with a bit of a train, but it seems like all the dresses of that sort are enormously overpriced. So instead I headed to the fabric store, bought a pattern, fabric and notions all for about $100. A real deal I thought. Right after buying the fabric I cut out all the pieces, but since then the dress has been sitting around waiting for me to pull it out.

Sunday I finally felt the inspiration to begin sewing and sew I did. I managed to get the entire bodice pieced together and then started on the skirt. And of course I'm biased, but I think it looks pretty good. I'll have to post some pictures once I get it together. Now I'm thinking about what I can get sewing next...maybe some curtains for the new house...

More House News

Buying a house sure involves lots of signing. Today Jason and I met with a mortgage guy to sign our lives away for the next 30 years. Tomorrow we're headed back over to the house to meet the inspector and see if anything is majorly wrong in the house. Hopefully not, we certainly didn't see anything when we viewed the house. Our next step will be shopping around for insurance. Gotta get all the nitty-gritty details taken care of, then it will be the fun stuff.

Soon I'll start packing up my apartment so that I'll be all ready to move into the new house. I've also been tearing decorating and garden ideas out of magazines. Then it will be off the the home stores to look at paint colors. I can't wait to get in there and start decorating :)

Our Offer Was Accepted!

Hoorah! Jason and I put in our offer on the house on Monday then had to wait on pins and needles for the seller's response. Last night we finally got a call from our realtor that they accepted the offer and that we had to come in to sign the papers. Now we have to get the house inspected and work out the details of financing. Fun fun, I'm so excited :D

House Hunting

As Guamo told me, house hunting is certainly a blog worthy thing. So here is my blog about house hunting. Jason and I have begun the tiring task of trying to find a house to buy and live in for when we're married. We have found one promising possibility in Wyoming.

To the left and below are some pictures that we took while viewing the house this weekend. Enjoy, and there will be more to come :)
