Well we didn't exactly keep up with the blogging as planned...
Recap of the last couple of months:
We got married! Everything turned out wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for more. The rain during the vows only made it that much more special! The day flew by, and I only wish I had more time to talk with everyone. It was an unforgettable day though, and definitely the happiest!
We went on a honeymoon! We took a cruise to the Western Carribbean (Cozumel, Costa Maya, Grand Caymans, and Belize). It was great getting away for a week. We did lots of new things, kissed and swam with sting rays, snorkeled, got ripped off by the locals, got nice tans, etc!
We moved to the cities! Technically we moved before our honeymoon, but right after we got back, we already missed ND so much that we went home for another week! Actually, it was for the 4th of July, and it was great to spend time with Blaine's family and enjoy the river for once this summer. The jet ski rides were great, except maybe when Susan got whipped off when Blaine was driving, and just couldn't get back on...we thought he was going to have to drag her into shore! I even got my mom and Stace to go for a ride! I don't think I made it too scary!
We are living with one of my co-workers. Her and her husband had recently bought a new place, and were still trying to sell their old place. So we are renting out their basement, which has plently of room for us, Deja, and all our gifts and things!
We began house hunting! Well pretty much from the moment we moved we started looked at finding a place of our own. Unfortunately we seem to have this horribly bad luck. One place we made an offer on, was not willing to negotiate, and two other places sold just a days before we went to make an offer on them (really odd considering only 1 in 4 houses will sell this year in Minneapolis).
We started new jobs! I started back with Ernst and Young. It feels good to be working again, and getting a paycheck is also very nice. Blaine found a job doing inside sales. The company is huge, and seems to be great so far. The only thing is that it is in Chanhassen, while we are in Brooklyn Park, so a little bit of a drive for Blaine.
We found a home....So we found a place we love, great neighborhood, trails, parks, cul-de-sac, in our price range, near Blaine's work, etc. Well the day before we were suppose to close we found out that the square footage was listed wrong and the house is not worth as much as we were going to pay, hence we can't get a loan for that amount either. It was very disappointing. We had plans for our families to come help us move over the holiday weekend, things were packed, fridge was empties....Now we are just waiting to see what it will actually be appraised for and whether the seller will still sell to us...the waiting game is no fun.
Other than that, its been a pretty uneventful summer!!!
We think the next time we will be home will be for Thanksgiving.
