update

I thought I would update everyone on our offer on the condo. We put in an offer Tuesday night over the phone and he said he would get back to us Wednesday morning. Well Wednesday morning passed and so did Wednesday night and we never heard anything! I must remind you that this is a for sale by owner and I'm not sure this owner is wanting to sell his house. Well finally this morning at around 11 he called Joe and counter offered ours. Again might I add, I don't think this guy wants to sell his house. Well we didn't like his offer and counter offered back. Take that seller! Anyway, we were hoping to hear from him tonight but I knew that would be wishful thinking so it'll either be tomorrow unless he decides to keep going in his own time frame and make us wait until Monday to find out. Regardless we'll let you know either way as soon as we find out.

The update on our Apartment is we had another smoker move in last weekend I guess since that's when the smell started over again. This time it's 10 times stronger and it was litterally filling our home with it and Joe and I both had massive headaches to the point that we had to leave our home. I expressed my feelings to Joe about the situation and Monday he called the apartment complex to complain. They apologized and offer to lend up an air purifier. I appreciated them trying but seriously I pay WAY too much to have to either sit in my house with my sweatshirt over my nose (which I ended up doing all day Sunday) or even have an air purifier in my home. She then nicely added that the air purifier would help drown out the noise. Really? Well today I got home from work and there was a note that was dropped off to us and everyone else reminding them to keep the noise level down (as I lay in here in bed listening to my neighbor next door watch her old timey christmas movie) and to not smoke excessively in the hallways. I had to laugh out loud because they really are trying to help us out and I know the letter was written because of our complaints. Oh well, hopefully it'll all be over with soon.

Lastly the update on Joe's schooling is that he is just finishing up with his last test. He had a VERY important, let me say that again, he had a VERY important test that he had to take that was actually due today. Funny how things like that work out right? Well he didn't get it done and I can't completely blame it all on him but if his proffessor doesn't let him extend the time then instead of Joe graduating in May like we hoped it probably won't be until next December. Let's just say if that is the case there will not be a very happy wife in this house. He is working hard to get all of his work done and so far is making really good grades. I married me a smarty. Somebody has to have brains in this family.

We did it!

So it took us a week and a half but we finally made an offer tonight and we'll find out tmoorrow morning whether or not there going to except it. Wish us luck on our first place!

Joe's my Hero!

Ok so we just got done showing our apartment to a couple and I don't think there all that interested but they asked about above noise and we couldn't help ourself but to just say "it's normal apartment living noise.....". What do you expect I have to get outta of here. Well after they left our above neighbors decided to watch a movie FULL BLAST! It was so loud that we could identify the movie to be star wars. I finally jumped up about after 30 minutes of listening and told Joe to get me out of here. As I was waiting for Joe to get ready I decided to check my e-mail and my blog of course to see if there was anything new happening. All the while I kept hearing someone pounding on something and then realized it was joe with a paint extender stick in his hand hitting the ceiling. I couldn't help but laugh but had to tell him to quit after about 50 hits. So then I went about my business only to hear another awful pounding and then I heard "can you turn down your movie"? Joe had gone out on our balcony and was hitting there medal balcony with the same stick as before. HAHAHAHA! I love my husband. They were polite and finally turned it down. Afterwards he wished he would have said "and can you take your heels off while your at it?" It was funny and I had to blog about it before we went out. Happy Friday everyone!

I shouldn't, but I'm too excited

Joe and I have decided that renting isn't the thing for us. We have ABSOLUTELY loved living in Little Rock! We have loved the location, our ward, and just being close to all the cool stores and living the city life all together. The drive really hasn't been bad and I can say with much pride that I have not ONCE complained or infact said anything about my drive. But, and yes there is always a but, we HATE apartment living! haha! Neither one of us have ever had to live in an apartment besides our 3 months in college which we don't even remember anymore. I will admit our apartment is sweet but the noises aren't. Since it's an old place there's no insulation so we hear EVERYTHING! When I say everything I mean, construction workers, walkers, drivers, movies, late night events....., blow dryers, our neighbors above us water running through there pipes, high heels that are constantly going back and forth back and forth, and our neighbor above us using the bathroom. So yes, it pretty much comes down to the people above us drive us insane!

So how did this all came about? Well, we have just been looking at other apartments around Little Rock until Monday I was at work and a co-worker was talking about a house she saw for sale and wanted me to check it out so I told her to pull up the site for me and I'd look. It was way cute but way out of our price range but then I started looking at the sight and found this and instantly called on it and arranged to see it that night. We loved it and I have been bugging Joe about it all week! I'm definately having bitter sweet feelings about the whole situation but I think Joe and I have come to a conclusion. We are going to be putting an offer on a condo in Conway that we have absolutely fallen in love with. No I don't want to move back to Conway but yes we would like to own our own place. We hope all goes well and if not that's fine too we'll just find another awesome place. Thankfully we only signed a 6 month lease which ends the end of February but that's just not soon enough for me so we asked and were told we could sell out the rest of our lease. So off we went to putting an add in the paper and lo and behold we have someone coming tomorrow to check it out. I just pray he doesn't hear all the noises and if he does I hope they don't bother him as much. Even though Joe and I are young we have figured out that we're a bunch of old married hags. Anyway, we're excited and I know I shouldn't really post this until we know for sure we're getting it but i'm too excited and I want everyone to see what we MIGHT be moving into. Wish us luck!
