It all started last weekend with Brian and I running in the 5k without any preparation. If you have never ran in one of these, trust me on this...PREPARE. We hung out in the back of everyone. I wasn't about to get in the middle with all of Brian's colleages, which who runs everyday. So, once the buzzer was blown, off we go. We probably ran about a quater of a mile and I had to stop. Yes, you heard me right, a quater of a mile. Brian looked at me like I was crazy. I'm sorry, I haven't ran in like 10 years and he use to run a mile a day. Anyway, I told him to go ahead and I'll just walk. I think he had to show something to the marketing department. So, Brian went ahead and I walked in a fast past. I did jog in between my walks. Only because there were these two girls who were behind me that would walk, then start jogging. I wasn't going to let them pass me...are you crazy. After walking and jogging for about 40 minutes, I could here people cheering. When I hit that last stretch to the parking lot, you cannot walk, you have to run. These two little 10 year old girls are cheering you on to finish, "You can do it, you can do it, GO GO GO!" Everyone who has finished is clapping and cheering you on, it was quite a rush. I finished in 42 minutes, Brian at 37 minutes. As soon as I sat down, I thought I was going to be sick. I didn't, I held it in luckly. Painful my friends, painful.
Thursday was Valentine's Day...the day of love. Brian sent me a bouquet of tulips and a little heart shape balloon with the sweetest little note. Once I got home, I walked in the house with something smelling oh, so good. I cooked us a couple of filets and back potatoes. No veggies or bread, but it was delicious. He also cleaned the house and did the laundry. If that's not romantic,then I don't know what is. We stayed because we weren't going to get out in the hussle and bussle of Valentine's Day. It was nice and relaxing. I couldn't ask for it in any other way.
Pics will come soon. This crazy website isn't letting me post anything.

We Got It!!
We got a house!! Yea! The seller made a verbal agreement with Brian last night and we will be signing the papers soon. It turned out that someone else made an offer the same day we did and the offered full asking price. Luckly, the said he would accept our offer without hearing there's. I'm sure he's spitting nails that he didn't wait to hear what they had, but hey, I'm glad he didn't go against his word. The closing date will be March 17th. I'm so happy everything worked out. WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!

We'll see what happens.
Today, Brian and I became "official" adults. Why you ask? Well, we bidded on our first house. This house has a lot of potential. The neighborhood is great, it has a huge fenced in backyard, two car garage, big master bedroom and bath, the additional bedrooms are a decent size and the FROG is finished. I think after we tear out the carpet and replace it with hardwood floors, new counter tops, kitchen and bathroom floors, and new paint, I think it will be FABULOUS. Its all the house we need. The square footage is 1733 which is fine. I think once we put in the hardwood, the house will look much bigger. Listen to me go on and on about this and I don't know if the owner likes our offer. We actually asked about $20,000 under the asking price. From what hear, the owner is ready to sell. We will know something by 7pm tomorrow.
