Moving to FB

So it seems like Brett and I are living in the stone ages! Everywhere we go people are telling us to catch them on FB. Around the holidays everyone kept asking us if we were on FB, telling us they would share their pictures on FB... we were totally lost... for those of you who don't know FB is FACEBOOK!!! Yes we have been living in the stone ages! Here we are thinking blogging was the way to keep in touch with family and friends... WRONG!!! So bloggers we are no longer... out with the old and in with the new. Catch us on facebook for all of our fun and exciting adventures.

Yes those of you who have been asking me for moths to join I finally did it! Round of applause for me!!! :) I am officially on facebook! Be patient with me, we stone age folk still need some facebook lessons before we are up to speed on the latest and greatest! ;)

Uncle Gee!

So a few years back Brett and I took a trip to San Fransisco to visit my parents to visit my moms brothers. Both of my uncles had lived there for a while and fell in love with a little tea store in China Town. They went there so often the owner became a very good friend- to them he was Uncle Gee! Always there to give them advise, some great stories, and of course some great tea! So a few years back when we came to visit they couldn't wait to take us to visit their friend Uncle Gee! He was SO funny. Very old school but very funny! He told us so many stories-I think we spent more of our vacation with him than we did sight seeing in San Fransisco! :)  Brett and I were newly engaged and he was all set and ready to give us advise on how to have a happy and successful marriage- And of course every problem we would ever come across in our lives could be solved with a tea and a splash of sugar leaf! He was so fun! After trying so many different teas (we literally were sick after all of the caffeine intake) we got a tour of the store and the huge storage area, took some pictures with Uncle Gee and he sent us home with bags and bags tea to take home! It was a great experience... well many years later my moms other brother, our guncles took a trip into China town a low and behold guess what they seen on Uncle Gee's wall... OUR PICTURE! So many years later and he still have us up on his wall! Brett and I have been sitting here all night reminiscing about that trip and how wonderful Uncle Gee was to us! It just goes to show how some people you come across in the most random places stay with you forever! Hopefully some day we get to go back to San Fransisco and visit Uncle Gee again soon!

Thank you for sharing this picture with us guncles! It was a great blast from the past!

We're moved in and.........settled?!?!?

Well... we're moved in and finally ALMOST settled. Most of the boxes are nearly unpacked and decorations are going up. Now we are preparing for painting and making it our own! Stay tuned we got some before and after pics coming! We're home owners now so this is probably all you will be hearing about for a while... our to-do list seems to grow by the second!

On a side note- THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who helped us move and unpack! We have the best family and friends on the planet! We literally would still be on box #2 if it was not for all the help we received! Once we get things in order we will definitely be having you all over for some food and drinks! THANK YOU AGAIN! We love and appreciate all of you so much!

We're HOME OWNERS!!!

It's official- we are finally HOME OWNERS!!! We signed all of our papers last night and are now just waiting for the keys... were packing like crazy and ready to move into our new home! Stay tuned for pictures!!!

Another house update!

Well, I wish this update was to tell you we are finally home owners but it not :(

Let's just say they make you jump through a few hoops to get a mortgage loan! The plus side iswe know our loan is going to be done right and we will not be in a situation millions of Americans are now in--- the down side... WE WANT TO MOVE ALREADY!!! We have been approved for closing with conditions which in a nut shell means we have to re-submit more paperwork to prove more and more we are not psycho money laundering drug dealers! (For the record we are not!)! Keep in mind this is the same paperwork we have already submitted 3 times but now they want updated paperwork with a few more additions...I tell ya if we don't have to sign away our first born at closing I will be totally surprised! Well we have re-submitted that paperwork again for what seems like the millionth time and are now just waiting for a final approval to close- word on the street is that should come today or tomorrow...

For now we'll just keep thinking about "our" house and pray we close by the end of this month!!!
