It's Official, I'm a college graduate!

Back to Square 1

So in response to my previous post...yet again there was already another offer on the condo so as the contestants of a popular game show would say, "NO DEAL". I am supposedly next in line, if anything falls through, but let's just say I'm not holding my breath. So I'm on the hunt again. I'm not going to lie...I find this process incredibly annoying. I wish that the listing agents would mention it to my realtor when she calls to schedule a showing, just out of courtesy. I'm doing my best not to get emotionally involved, but for goodness sakes I have to have some emotion...I'm making the biggest purchase of my life thus far! Sigh. I'm just tired of finding something that is in my price range, that happens to be in good shape and has the features I'm looking for...only to find out I can't have it. Something else I find intriguing...I thought we were in a housing CRISIS? Apparently, the crisis is that everyone is buying what I want. O.k. now I sound spoiled. haha.

On a happier note...I have one more final and I am officially done with my undergraduate degree. On Sunday December 14, 2008 I will have my B.A. in Speech Communication with an emphasis in Communication Theory and a minor in Nutrition. If that isn't a mouthful I don't know what is!

And on an even happier note...Katie will be here Friday, and Mom, Dad, Grandma W, Grandma C, Grandpa, Martha, and Norman will all be here Saturday!

What a hoot! I'm super excited to have everyone here to celebrate!

Excitement

I'm putting in an offer on my new home (thinking positive here)!!!! I'm hoping and praying that their are no other offers (that happened with the last one I looked at). I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Mom told me from the beginning that I shouldn't get emotionally attached until I know that the house is mine, and in my defense I did my best to stay strong...but I LOVE IT!!! Love it, love it, llllllloooooovvvvveeee it! I forgot the camera today so I don't have any pictures...but if all works out well there will soon be plenty of pictures to view! It is a beautiful top floor condo (great views), 2 bedrooms and 2 baths plus a den. The master bathroom has a sunken tub (There is a God!), and all of the appliances are included. I can't wait to be able to do laundry in my own home again!

I know the last thing I need is a distraction from finals...but maybe it is exactly what I needed. Thank you Lord for shinning a little light in dark place! (o.k. no need to be dramatic it's not as bad as I make it sound)

Stay tuned for more information!

The HIGHS and the lows...

It's funny to observe the anticipation of an event encompassing every fiber of your being to an extent that causes you to wonder if the next moment will bring laughter, tears, frustration or joy. This last month especially, has seemed to reflect the course of a rollercoaster more than usual. I have so many changes that I anticipat occuring in my life that it is hard to know whether to put my right foot in front of my left, or my left foot in front of my right. I feel that ultimately which ever step that I take, I will end up in the perfect spot...but taking that leap of faith is presenting itself as quite a challenge!

What goes down...must come back up!
