this old house

The House -We got our appraisal back on the house! And it was over what we are paying for it! So that means we are going to get the house for sure!!! Thank God, because I have a lot of plans for that home and don't know if I could handle yet another loss. (Previously, I had fallen in love with a couple other homes and had my heart broken.)

Isn't it just heavenly? I have always wanted a big yellow house.  But it had to be older than my great grandparents and it had to be in good shape and not in St. Paul. Not an easy find. Luckily for us, some people got divorced and foreclosed on their house.
And man, it is perfect perfect PERFECT!!!!  It has 4+ bedrooms, I plan on making a lot of babies.. or having some serious closets.  The kitchen is bigger than our current apartment, there are stairs in the pantry! There are 2 bathtubs and no standing showers, I really don't like those standing showers. There is a fantastic attic with a secret door that I just can't wait to turn into Narnia (a story I never read). 3 living areas. AND a freaking creepy basement. What more do I need? Really, what else could I ask for? Oh! It also has the biggest yard on the block. I can't wait to put up a pretty white fence. Fences make the best neighbors ya know?  I want to move NOW! Gotta get married and stuff first though. OK fine.


No luck in the nanny job search, I was pretty discouraged and need to just hold off a couple weeks/months and wait until people are looking for a school year nanny for their little babes. Instead of a summer nanny for their pre-teen brats.


I'm changing my fashion fails of the day section to..

Just Clothes - Because I'm from the Midwest, I don't know anything about "fashion" but I know some stuff about clothes. I'd say there's a difference.

So here's my outfit from yesterday. I've been really digging stripes lately.  Horizontal ones make ya look wider, so I paired it with a skinny belt to show that I'm not really that wide.  But the stripes sure do show off my hippys. I'm okay with that. I put a sweater on and completed the look. THANKFULLY it got up to 98 degrees yesterday and I was able to take off the sweater and work on my tan. I rarely complain about weather ever. I love snow and think it's pretty, but it is so nice to be warm.
