Like usual, I never have enough time to post here.
Why do I always have the urge to write a blog when I'm strapped for time?!

The main thing to know is I'm happy.
I'm marrying my best friend at the end of the month.
I have an amazing quirky girlfriend.
My friends are solid.

I have so much love being given to me.

Jason and I will be buying a house within a month or two. I'm still getting all my paperwork together but I think we will be getting prequalified in the next week or so.

My siblings and I are currently in escrow. We're selling our ranch house and that should close at the end of the month so I'll be using that money for a down payment.

We still can't afford much for the area we live in. I think it's going to be time to call in some favors to friends and get help cleaning and painting and yard work etc.

I'm still losing weight - SLOWLY. I lost 30lbs over the last year. I had wanted to already be at my goal weight but so it is. I'm feeling pretty good about myself. I feel healthier. I've been wearing more dresses and I'm not dreading bathing suits quite as much. I mean, I wouldn't be caught dead in a bikini but I'm accepting where I am at in the moment.

Oh back to house stuff..... know what I'm looking forward to?

So - yeah, things are going well. I am really looking forward to all the upcoming major life events - albeit how stressful they are.

And then I want a new tattoo. Yes, by the end of the year I need a new tattoo....or two.
