So, I've discovered that keeping a blog is a little bit harder than I thought. Although, to my credit, it has been an especially busy few weeks.

First, we thought my mother had a heart attack (she didn't), then there were birthday parties for my grandmother and my brother-in-law (80 and 31, respectively.) And finally, it was me and Brian's one year anniversary. All very exciting.

Even more exciting is the fact that we put an offer in on a house on Sunday. We like to make all of our big decisions in the month of June (wedding, potential house purchases...look to the future for more wacky June-based decisions!)

The best part of the day was when we took my sister Jessi and her family out to see the house. We are driving by and there are several cars out in front of it. Sure enough, there is an open house. How fortuitous! We can go inside now, instead of crawling around outside like none-too-smart burglars in the middle of the day.

We walk in the door, and who do we lay eyes on? My dad and step-mom. A family affair! Adorable.

It actually was kind of nice to have everyone see it, but then I immediately felt like we were jinxing ourselves into having our offer rejected. Also, I did not appreciate the fact that people other than my family were there as well. How dare the realtor try to sell the house. She has a perfectly good offer. I think they should take it. Only time will tell.

Of course, we know that in the end things will work out as they should. But filling an open house with several family members to scare off other buyers never hurt anything.
