My fiance kicks ass!

I didn't wanna jinx anything before it was OFFICIAL, but my wonderful Fiance just landed an amazing job!!! he is now a Department coordinator/Graphic Designer for a big marketing firm here in Phoenix!

Big leap for his career and I am soo proud, he worked so hard for this and more than deserves this fabulous opportunity!

Congrats my babe

I love you so much!

Cheers to BIG and wonderful changes in our life.

very fitting quote :)

Dress Success!

So as I said earlier, I was going to be in a wedding dress today even if I had to fight someone.

Well, I did...fight AND try some dresses.

I have to mention that Im not doing it the traditional way of not letting the groom see till the day of the wedding, Danny is very much involved in the entire wedding planning process. I value his opinions. He is after all my best friend and I cant imagine keeping something that exciting for him for months! no way! So he is who I brought along today to shop.

So even though Davids Bridal called me to tell me the apt time I picked was unavailable, I went there anyway, I told the lady I had one dress in mind and would be quick and I don't see how and why the apt suddenly became unavailable. I think they just decided to be lazy today, because it wasn't even busy in there....But I got my way, I tried on 3 gowns..one of which I absolutely love and added to what they call a wish list, so when I'm ready to commit its set up for me with the matching veil I picked and all.

Here are some pictures from the dress hunt....

This was a Vera Wang, but felt like a Vera RAG, material was awful.

This one I thought was a bit too simple

AND THIS IS THE ONE I LOVED :)

my mushy best friend & hubby in the making :)

positive feedback from friends is always nice!

Do you ever feel like your brain is running in circles so quickly, you are making yourself dizzy?

I Do.

Everyday, lately.

TGIF

This past week without a doubt has been the most stressful week of my life, everything that could have gone wrong, did.

So world, what else are you going to throw at me next? I sure hope there arent more weeks like this one.

on that note THANK GOD........

I had made an apt at Davids Bridal for today to try on a particular dress that I spotted out on their site, I figured this was something that would make me super excited and it would be a break from the chaos that my life has become lately....So OF COURSE with the week Ive been having, they called to inform me that the apt slot I chose was actually unavailable!! UGH!

but screw it, I WILL BE IN A WEDDING GOWN TODAY. I don't care who I have to fight.
Somebody needs to cut me a break already! geeez!

HOUSE UPDATE:
Our closing was suppose to be today, but of course the nutcase underwriters found something else that they didn't like, as usual the most ridiculous, minuscule things ever ...so of course the closing got pushed back to god knows when, I wont be surprised if I have grey hairs popping up after all this.
The sellers are replacing windows in our master apparently they had to be custom ordered, and wont arrive till sometime next week, pushing the closing again
How can something be so exciting yet so stressful at the same time?

Stressful...

Doctor visits deserve......BIG, buttery, chocolaty croissants. Phew the dreaded apt is finally over...now just waiting for the results...trying not to think about it till then.

Danny got called for a second interview for a BIG job, I'm so excited for him and hope he gets it, in a 'non-get-our-hopes-up kinda way. He's such a hard worker and totally deserves it! but I don't wanna jinx anything so I'll shut up about it for now.

He looked so handsome getting ready, of course I had to sneak some pictures...

"Life is too ironic to understand. It takes sadness to know what happiness is. Noise to appreciate silence, & absence to value presence. "

ain't that the truth.

Gooodbye Phoenix...

Hello again Gilbert. After way too many back tiring back and forth trips up and down the stairs ( moving is a bitch) we said goodbye to our cute little apartment.... because of its awesome location and simple fact that it was OUR first place made us grow attached to it. Goodbyes are so bittersweet, closed one chapter and about to open another. We moved into my sisters house for this week as our closing is suppose to be this Friday, I say "suppose to be" because this process has been insane and I'm prepared for anything to go wrong at any point....but FINGERS CROSSED that Friday is the day.

The temporary move to my sisters has its ups and downs, I'm grateful that shes letting us crash for this week and I love having Sofia around all the time but I sure hate having our stuff in the garage...the room we are sleeping in is Sofia's playroom with her toys all over the place, there is no room to put our clothes anywhere. So every morning for this whole week we have to go into the garage to get dressed, fun stuff, right? I pray this stay wont go past this weekend.

The ridiculous chaos of buying a home has be wanting to rip my hair out, that's to say the least. There is always something that the underwriters need, I wish I could tell them to shove it. They even ask for a written explanation of certain deposits in our accounts...umm we have jobs, we make deposits, what else do you need explained? I cant wait for this process to finally be over...any longer and I might go insane.

I have a very dreadful doctors apt tomorrow, I think Id cry if I didn't have Danny to go with me. Wish me luck!

Here are some pictures from Sundays move....
