Well folks, it's official. Austin and I had an appointment today at 11:00 this morning to sign the contract papers on our new home!!! The process took about an hour and a half, and now I feel like I’ve signed over my first born child or something. It doesn’t help that when we got married, I thought it would be a good idea to hyphenate my name, making my legal last name 28 characters. OOI. For the most part, I go by Montgomery now, but when it comes to legal things I get the pleasure of trying to squeeze my super long name into a very small signature line. Good thing my parents picked a small first name for me J
SO anyways, the process from here on out goes in stages. We picked our Stage 1 options, which for this round was just paying some extra money to get a plumbing rough in for the basement. Austin plans to build a theater/game/entertainment room in the basement that can be converted into another bedroom if we need to. He is VERY excited. The builder will break ground in June, and if everything goes to schedule, we should be able to move in November. At least it won’t be hot J We are very excited.
We had a showing scheduled for Saturday, and YEA the people actually came in and saw the place. We haven’t heard anything since, so no clue if they liked it or not but this was the FIRST showing. Both of us are getting tired of living like clean freaks.
Austin’s best friend Nizar just purchased a new car on Friday. He has a beautiful Acura TL in white. VERY nice, and fast too. Definite improvement over his BMW.
Other weekend news, Laura (my fabulous sister in law) had her senior high school prom on Saturday. I took her dress shopping a few weeks ago, which was fun. I love having a little sister! She’s a good kid. We went over to the in laws on Saturday to see her in her dress before she left for the evening festivities. She looked fabulous. The high school has a big event planned after the formal dance, from midnight until 5 in the morning called JAM (Just After Prom). It’s a way for the kids to be safe and still have fun but not be out and about and getting into trouble. The high school let’s the general public see the school before it starts, and it was AMAZING. So many activities, including glow in the dark mini golf, games, karaoke, bingo, carnival games, black jack, card games, roulette, and poker. SUPER fun. I wanted to go. I had put together a poster of Laura throughout the year, which was put in the hallway with all of the other graduating seniors. It was neat to see all of the posters and the direction that people went with the posters.
Anyway, good weekend. Busy. but good! Have a great week!
