Important Meeting

Good morning!  Not too much to report from the rest of my day yesterday.  I went to Target to pick up a pizza for dinner and buy gifts for my friend's baby shower and of course left with more than just those items!  I swear, it's impossible to leave that store without spending money!  Although, I didn't spend much more than I was intending on- just got a couple more things with coupons, so that helps!  And I used a gift card to pay, so it's almost like I didn't spend any money at all!

My mister had to work yesterday- he's been working A LOT of overtime this year.  The company he works for has been doing so well that they've actually had to add a second shift.  They used to only operate with a first shift, so obviously things have changed for the positive.  Which is a blessing and a curse.  Yes, overtime pay is fantastic, but that means less time I get to spend with my mister! : ( At least it's job security!

So, tonight we are meeting with our mortgage broker because... drumroll... we got an accepted offer on a house last week!  Yippee!  Very exciting!  But, also very stressful.  We are on quite a short timeline here.  First, we have our meeting tonight to finalize financing.  Then on Wednesday, we have the home inspection which will hopefully go well (crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes!) because... we need to give 60 days notice that we're going to vacate our apartment, which means they need to receive our notice by the 1st, which is this Thursday.  So, tight window there, hey?  I'm not really concerned about our meeting tonight because obviously we already had financing addressed or we wouldn't have been able to have a pre-approval letter to go with our offer on the house.  But, I am thinking that Wednesday to Thursday will be very stressful.  EEEK!  Then to add to it all, IF everything goes well and we do indeed get this house, it means we'll be moving just a few weeks before our wedding.  It will certainly make the next couple of months busy to say the least!

Last week was a great week of staying on Weight Watchers program for me.  I strictly stuck to it from Tuesday to Saturday and I lost over 5 pounds!  Booyah!  We had dinner at my parents on Saturday night with Brian's parents as well, so I made that evening my "free meal" time.  Basically that means I allowed myself to splurge and not worry about points.  I was back on track right away Sunday and again this morning.  I had a scrambled egg with mushrooms, mozzarella and Mexican cheese and a little bit of Door County cherry jam on top for breakfast this morning.  And of course, Door County coffee with it!  Can you tell I love Door County? ; )

They have THE best coffee!  We always buy some when we're in DC!

You should check out their website!  You might be able to pick up their coffee at a store near you!

I don't have too much else on the schedule for today besides getting things gathered for our meeting tonight.  I need to pick up some account statements from our credit union and get my taxes from my parents' house.  Oh, and I will probably make some granola bars for Brian.  I haven't made them in awhile and I used to always put them in his lunch.  It's a super easy recipe, but I'll wait and share it with you tomorrow!

I'll leave you with a picture of my cat Isadora... she's hard at work!

My little birdwatcher!
