Your/You're

Anyone else feel this way? I'm not a grammar goddess by any means, but when people incorrectly use your/you're it drives me crazy! Must be the teacher inside of me.

Sold!

It's official - we got the house!!! I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. We received mutual acceptance Friday morning, and got the inspection completed this weekend. Everything is going according to plan, and I'm excited to move in at the end of the month. Here's to the next step, my adventures as a homeowner!

Happy Labor Day Weekend

Happy Friday and Labor Day weekend! I'm trying to soak up the last of summer weather, going to a friend's wedding tonight and enjoying Seattle's famous music festival - Bumbershoot - later this weekend with friends. As for my offer on the house...still waiting to hear back from the sellers, but I'll be sure to keep you posted on house happenings!

Have a lovely weekend!

He Said, She Said

I'm such a sucker for a fun label - I'll usually buy that over the recommended wine anyday. Loving this label "He Said, She Said," Australian wine by Lake House Denmark Wines.

My Next Move

So blogging friends - I feel like I should let you in on a little venture I've been working on... My wonderful parents are helping me to purchase my first home, which is exciting in itself. I can't believe I'm already at the age where I could be a homeowner! I finally feel like a grown up.

We've been looking in various neighborhoods, touring countless houses with our Realtor, and in the last 2 weeks - we found one I love! The best part is...yesterday I made an offer!!! Talk about scary! I sat down with the Realtor and signed many a document, read over a lot of fine print, and now I'm eagerly awaiting the results...

Cross your fingers for me! I'll keep you posted.

Lemony Goodness

You know how there are some products you just love, despite all the other appealing bottles and containers available in the aisle at the store...often times I try out the new ones, wooed by their intriguing labels or shiny packaging, but afterward I always find myself gravitating toward the same reliable products...Such as C.O. Bigelow's line in lemon scent. My absolute fave is the lemon hand wash, it's fresh, citrusy, and clean, perfect for your guest bathroom. The best part is - this line of products is available offline at Bath & Body Works.

Meeting the Parents = Success

So in case you were wondering, meeting the boyfriend's parents went fabulously! His parents were friendly, easy to talk to, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing all the childhood stories my boyfriend somehow neglected to tell me...(hmm, it was also enjoyable to watch him blush at some of these funny tales). We had a great time hanging out in South Haven, Michigan - despite the uncooperative weather, it was windy and drizzly, but we spent plenty of quality time exploring the town, taking pictures, and eating plenty of fried foods. Here are some pics from the town.
