Mortgage here we come!

It is OFFICIAL! We have signed the contract... we are first time ever home owners! WOO HOO! There were days when I didn't think it was possible... But God knew... don't you just love his Faithfulness!?! We do! Anyhoos, here are some pictures!

Few updates we will make are... flooring, painting, and a deck outside! Over time of course, as the money allows us too! I am looking forward to getting decorative techniques from Brittney and Dani (who just started blogging, check out her and Dave's cute blog!) My Mom and Mom in law will help too I am sure! Please! Needless to say we are really excited and can't wait to move in!

Snoring...

It is 3:11am and I am sleepless in McKinney. My husband is finally home and is snoring the night away, literally. The poor guy has been a little sick himself, and unfortunately it brings the snores out of him. He is seriously snoring in like 18 different languages, if snoring were considered a language that is. Russian, German, really any slavic language that requires a good "HHHAAAAGGGG" at the beginning of it. He also has that African clicking language down pat, which he does hope to go to Africa soon so that one should come in handy. He does a good French snore too, since the French are known to be so romantic, I consider this snore, the one of very heavy breathing, to be sweet nothings in my ear, **insert sarcasm** so sweet. There are more I am just too tired to remember them all. However, I think I could be a huge asset to the CIA one day... I know how to translate snoring. I can see it now, a new gang of snore artist are destroying cities everywhere and they must be stopped. "Quick, get that Remy Webb girl on the phone, she can crack this code!"

Lucky for me Brad hardly ever keeps me awake, and I am very thankful for that! Get well soon, Babe, get well soon.

Tuesday 6/24/08

Sick Sick Sick... The doctor thinks it is a strep throat rash.... never heard of it... the strep test came back negative, but he gave me amoxicillan anyways. If it really isn't strep than, its viral and it will just have to run its course. Not fun... now I have to miss work tonight and tomorrow. back to rest, three cheers for Brad though he is home tomorrow!

Monday 6/23/08

Went to work this morning and I am not feeling much better... now I am nausiated too. I called the doctor and I am supposed to go in tomorrow... the rash is getting worse too. what a bummer. Brad is feeling better though, so thats good!

Sunday 6/22/08

What a day... I woke up this morning with a strange rash on my arms and legs... I went to the clinic and they said its a mild dermititis. But when I got home from the doctor, I just wasn't feeling good... my whole body was sore and achey and I was really tired...I took a good nap and then went to hang out with the Mom in law! She also needed some shoes and some clothes for her trip... we had a lot of fun... I got her all dressed up! We met Brian (dad in law) for dinner after his round of golf at BJ's. Yummy... Unfortunately I can't say that I am feeling much better at this point... time for bed!

Saturday 6/21/08

Brad's gone again... High school youth camp this time, last week was middle school. Mom left to so I am all alone again... I have work today though, So I will be pretty busy. It was nice to see Brad for atleast one night... I think it was a total of 16 hours. And he is sick...poor guy needs some rest and another week at camp isn't promising any rest! I am praying for him to get better! I can't wait til he gets home on Wednesday!

Firday 6/20/08

Brad comes home today! I can't wait to see him! This morning mom and I are going to go look at some houses with Brad and I's realtor. She is really excited to help us look and I am glad she is coming along. Mom loves to shop! Even if it is for someone elses house! **Side Note: Mom you should be a proffessional shopper, they have those you know!** Yesterday was absolutely wonderful... the spa day was great! We had lunch at my new favorite place, SPOONS, and then went shopping! We both got shoes, so much fun and a couple of other things! Dinner was amazing, everything was cooked to perfection! I know I am partial because I work at Rick's, but our chef is the best! We started off with the Crabcake which is the dish that got chef the job! It was fabulous. Then we split the chophouse salad... my mom was in awe... she kept saying that is was the best Salad she had ever had! It was so cute! Then for the entrees, we had a filet carpetbagger and the cowboy ribeye. We both ate about half of our steaks and decided the rest needed to go home for Brad to have. Plus we had to save room for dessert. Pecan Pie, my mom's absolute most favorite pie in the world! But, she only likes how her momma made it, so I was a little nervous for chef and let him know that he had one tough critic on his hands. My mom loved it! We both enjoyed every last bite... I think she is convinced that chef has my grandma's Pecan Pie recipe!... All that being said, we were stuffed! we planned on watching a movie when we got home but went straight to be instead.

Thursday 6/19/08

Mom is here and we are getting pampered! We are starting our day off with massages, pedicures and she got me a facial... then later some shopping and dinner at Ricks... I can't wait! Sorry so short but I have to get ready for a very "important" appointment with my therapist... my massage therapist that is!!! Love it!

Wednesday 6/18/08

quick post! I had to come home last night after all. Russell was going to take care of the dogs for me and couldn't get in the front door. I figured I had left the dead bolt locked and since it was already 12:30 am and the dogs had been in their kennels since 4 that afternoon it was time to let them out. I came in the garage, obviously, let the dogs out, and come to find that the top dead bolt was indeed unlocked, poor Russ must have just had a hard time with the key. Anyways, off to work, Mom is coming today and I am so excited to see her!!!

Tuesday 6/17/08

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I hate being home alone... I can not wait until my mom gets here tomorrow to stay with me! Let me tell you a little bit about last night... I went to bed around 1o:30- 11 and was peacefully sleeping. The dogs who sleep in the room with us are all nestled in their beds and also sleeping... 1:30am Nala starts barking... I pass it off as a dream she was having at first but then she got up and went to our bedroom door and started barking even more. She has NEVER done this!!! She normally barks when someone comes to the door, but this bark was different, to me it was a protective bark, a warning bark for me! I panic, I had no idea what was going on, all I knew was that I was not opening that door! I immediately call 911 and whisper to them my address and that I think someone is in my house, they keep me calm and the police are on their way. I call Brad, he didn't answer on the first call but by the second he was awake and talking to me. He does his best to tell me that everything is going to be ok, but I can hear the panic in his voice as well. He is 4 hours away at a camp and his wife is at home alone with a stranger possibly in the house. He asks me if I got his shot gun? What, I don't know how to use that thing... finally the doorbell rings, the police are here. I let the dogs out first, as Brad advised me to do and I slowly peek out the door to my pitch black living room. I should mention that I am crying hystarically at this point. I make my way to the door and open it up to two nice police men. They informed me that everything is locked and secured including the windows. I ask them to come inside and check the rest of the house... still crying, I felt like I was about 3 years old asking my daddy to check under my bed for monsters. I didn't care! Better safe than sorry. They checked everything out and made sure I was ok before they left for their next heroic call of duty. Brad called Russell (his brother) to come over and stay the rest of the night with me. I finally stopped crying and went back to sleep. This morning when I talked to Brad, he told me that I nearly gave him a heart attack. I felt so bad, but he told me he would have done the same thing, except he would have had his shot gun ready. Tonight I will stay with my inlaws! safe and sound.

Monday 6/16/08

Brad left me today...Youth Camp begins... I am all by myself and I am kind of sad and really bored. I have been a huge bum today and can't really get myself motivated to do much else. The TV is on, but the shows are less than entertaining. I have watched a few episodes of a Baby Story and those are fun, but thats about it! Monday, Monday... how does the rest of that song go?

Ok, Ok, I will post again!

So what do you want to know? About the House Hunt? Brad and I? Work?

House Hunt: Well as some of you know, we did put an offer in on a house that we really liked. But after a couple of weeks and thinking a lot about it, we decided that we wanted to keep looking. Definitely was the best decision we made because we found THE House!!! It's perfect! It is an older model built in the late 70's and it has been completely redone on the inside. It has that perfect touch of character that we were hoping for. After getting all the numbers in on it and as we were about to make our offer, Bob (realtor) called and let us know that the owners had just accepted another offer. I cried, I was so dissapointed! So now where am I? Looking, and searching, and looking, and searching, and watching a ton of HGTV. It lifts my spirits about the houses that are out there, and it makes me believe that we could make any house our own... with just a little bit of TLC and MONEY! HAHA I know, I am laughing too! We are going to look again on Thursday and as Bob said, we are going to be sprinting to get it all in. Oh my I almost forgot, our lease is up at the end of July. The 31st to be exact and where is that manly, strong, furniture moving husband going to be? Where else but on a mission trip building houses for the homeless. Man is he going to laugh when he gets home and finds out the we are homeless! So the timeline is this... June 23, 2008 38 days until we must be out of the house and still no where to go. If you add in the fact that Brad will be gone on the 31st of July, we are really down to 33 days. God has impecable timing, I know, but seriously... we are cutting it close! If you find Brad, Nala, Bentley and I outside your front door, don't be surprised!!! We just need a place to stay for a little while!

More updates to come I promise!

I do have a funny story though...
Today at work I was bringing dishes back to the kitchen, and was not really paying attention to everything around me, because I was making sure my guest's salad was up in the food window. I was in good stride and making a smooth transition between tables... when all the sudden my butt hit the floor. OUCH! The dishes went flying! I must have thrown them a little bit because I was on the floor and they were still above my head. CRASH the plates hit right in front of me! I started laughing so hard as everyone around me tried to make sure I was ok and able to walk. Apparently what happened was there was a good bit of water on the floor and I slipped since I wasn't paying attention to the steps I was taking. Crazy non-slip shoes...why don't you work!!! I can hear it now... you are the grand prize winner on America's Funniest Home Videos... too bad the cameras weren't rolling!

Job, House, Lake...In a nut shell

Job:
Waitress: Rick's Chop House... In Training! Fine dining steak house in downtown McKinney, come visit me... bring your wallet with you! HAHA!

House:
Waiting: We have an offer in, they countered it, we will counter back... Right now, we are just seeking God's will in everything. We truly believe he has our best intrest in hand and when we seek his will we will find Him!

Lake:
Fun: WEBB family LAKE extravaganza! Cousin's, Aunts, newly weds and almost married all in one house for one whole weekend. Before Brad and I got married I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with the Webb side of the family. So getting to spend the weekend with everyone was so much fun... Brian (Brad's dad) has two sisters Kay and Jane. Kay is married to Jim and they have two sons and a daughter who all sadly had to miss out on the weekend. Kay and Jim did a great job representing the whole family by making their way down from Nashville. Jane also has three kids two boys and a girl... See a pattern? Tim is the eldest and he is married to Leslie who is one of the most beautiful red heads I know and so much fun! Tim and Brad are far to similar for comfort... They have the same since of humor, same hobbies, same hair color and similar bodys. But most importantly when they get together the rediculousness in both of them comes out. They are the type that if one suggest to jump off a cliff because it would be hilarious the other would follow...Tricia is Jane's daughter and she is married to Jeff Durand. We stayed at Jeff's parents Lake house, Thanks Durand's! Jeff and Tricia have two beautiful children, with gorgeous white blond hair. Addi is 3 and Jackson is 1. So much fun! Tricia is a lot like Emily, both very family oriented and are always on top of keeping the fun going. They are both adventure seeking girls, that know how to hang tough with the boys. Then there is Kyle, Jane's youngest son... He is engaged to Melissa who is so sweet and makes the best bacon ever! Haha! We can't wait for their wedding!

Wakeboarding, tubing, waffles, hot dogs, cokes, jet skies and family time = a great weekend.

Brad and I had such a great time with everyone and we want to do it all again real soon! Love you all!
