Friday Honestly not a darn thing new here

well i broke down and got a new laptop computer, my old one, is well, working but needs to be cleaned out, this was a good deal at costco and came with a real nice basic printer for just over $600. Its a HP 16 in screen, lot lighter than my other one, and doesn't get as hot to hold..

trying to install some of my programs like the printer, my palm and the camera software..successful with all but the Palm and of course I can't find the disc. Frustrating...very frustrating...

doing some laundry, washed my sheets so I can have nice clean ones for my nap..

still waiting to hear about our mortgage approval..we are kind of stuck making any kind of plans until we find out and get a closing date. we are never doing this again..

Well not much else new..the sun did come out..blinding me!

Wedding

A big shout out to the friends and family who made the trek to Vegas for the wedding..So much planning went into the day and the fact that everyone tried to make it meant a lot to all of us..

It was a stunning ceremony and the reception was a blast..the scenery could not be beat, a beautiful spring day in Las Vegas! Lainie was a beautiful bride and Scott was his handsome self..my boys do clean up real good! Anyway here are a few pictures:

Tuesday the 21st

Well, it's Tuesday..3rd day of the week, 21st day of April. Sun is out, has been for a few days, tomorrow will be back to normal, cloudy chance of rain.

Well we are in escrow for a house in the Mountain View community in Desert Hot Springs, CA...just north of Palm Springs, back home to SoCal. We kinda made a big loop..we have so many woulda, shoulda, coulda's but the fact is we left our homes there like idiots and hopefully we can recover from all this. I'd like to know where that damn crystal ball is! Anyway, we have loan pre approval, which basically means nothin but we needed it to even make an offer on a place, we still had to send tons of papers last Friday and it's a slow go. Lenders are very busy and we know that, but we just need to hear the words 'your loan is approved' and escrow can close and we can just move on from this nightmare.

The house we are trying to buy is 4 years old, 1400 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, nice kitchen and great room with a fireplace..the back yard is huge and a blank slate for Carl, just dirt out there so lots of possibilites and projects for us. We plan to keep our little house here in WA since we hate the heat and will be snowbirds so to speak..we got a good deal on this house, very good..and it's about 3 blocks from my folks and brother..good to be close, not good to be in the same house.. Anyway, we are just keeping our fingers crossed and saying prayers that this goes through. Buying a home and getting a loan is not like it used to be folks...very stressful...
