So things are great.. Ro and I are starting to enjoy the house instead of fixing or putting stuff away enough though we are still doing that and still fixing but it's finally slowing down. I am finally going to post some pictures, since these pictures were taken we have changed some things but I will post those later. Ro and I both bought each other Valentines presents.. LOL We talked about it the other night .. that we would only spend $50 on each other this yr. Because Feb. is the 1st month that we will pay our mortage and all other bills in full. So Ro has been saying he wants a soniccare toothbrush like mine and he said Target had one for $50 so I bought that for him today and he used it and commented that his gums are tingling.. he's too cute.. Then the other day he looked through the Victoria Secret catalog and found some stuff he liked.. for me.. not him. So I made the order online.. For 3 things it was $56 bucks! So he gave me his credit card and that's my Valentines gift. So yay Valentines Day came early for us. So here's the pics

Christmas and New Year in San Diego

Well we are still in San Diego.. What a nice vacation we are having.. usually it seems like the vacations we have go by so fast, this one is going slowly.. which is weird, Ro and I have been sleeping on a inflatable bed and we are starting to be missing our own bed. We are also really missing Delilah our cat. We are happy that we have a housesitter there to be getting our mail, and paper and watching our kitty. Also it's nice to relax and spend time with family, it's been so crazy moving in and being stressed so it's nice to just sit and help my Nana cook and visit with everyone. Christmas dinner was wonderful with everyone. Visiting my Grandparents in Alpine, having dinner with them. Having lunch with my Aunt and Uncle. Going to go visit my other Aunt and Uncle who are the close and age to Ro and I so I don't really call them Aunt and Uncle. One of my cousin's I've never met he's 2, I have heard he's a terror and run's away already, people bringing him home already.. LOL I'm excited to see them tomorrow night. Then we leave Sat. it will be nice to be home again. We have a lot that needs to get finished and get started. Mon. our contractor will come and put in our new kitchen sink, our dishwasher, and our microwave. Then we have to talk to him about what we wanna do with our guest bathroom tub, we want to put in a shower since Ro doesn't fit in our shower. So we will have to buy new tile for that. I will be happy that we will finally be able to use our sink and dishwasher, we haven't been able to cook a meal really since our kitchen sink is broken. Well I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a very exciting New Year..

We are in and we have internet and cable!!!!!!

Me and my seester


So yesterday was a week that we have been in our new home. It's been a crazy week with calls to every company letting them know we are here and ready to pay you.. LOL Many trips to Home Depot, buying a dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, blinds, fan/light combo for both bathrooms, shower head, and knobs to go with. It's been crazy.. but the most important day was today.. Internet.. I dunno how I survived without it. But I did.. I was sooooooo busy unpacking, and calling and getting stuff fixed, and put in and bought, that internet wasn't a big deal yet. So we have painted our entire inside of our house white except for our bedroom and bath because we loved the sage green color. Ro painted to guest bedroom and office himself then we decided that we couldn't do the rest of the house by Sun. so Ro called his Dad and asked him if he knew anyone that could paint cheap.. that night he brought over someone who quoted us $250 for the kitchen, dining area, living room, all doors,hallway, and the entryway. It was done in one day, he had a compressor and got it done fast. Whew, I hated those colors! So tomorrow is the last day of furniture moving, my Dad saved a lot of his furniture when he moved, so we will get a dining room table that was a Great Great Grandmothers, entertainment center,stereo system, and not sure what else tomorrow. My grandparents have a house next to them that they own that is empty and full of furniture from my parents and my aunts and uncles. So I'm sure they will bring of plenty back. My job tomorrow is to box more stuff up at my Mom's and bring over the TV that is mine that is there. We decided just have TV's in the office and in the living room. We had a TV in our bedroom for two years and that's the only place we hung out and did. So we decided that we didn't want to do that anymore. I am waiting for our construction man that will be doing and has done many projects for us, we will be fixing our guest bathroom sink and put a pin in our sliding glass door.. The dummy that put in our doors put them backwards and our window guy that someone could come into our backyard and with a crowbar break in.. so of course Ro freaks and says that pin has to be put in ASAP. So anyways I better get back to cleaning, moving, unpacking,and all that other good stuff. Last night before we went to bed Ro told me he still can't believe that this is our house. I can't either..

Finally the big day is here! Moving day! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Also it is Katie's ( the girl I work with) 1st dance. Ro and I are taking her, she is so excited.. So it's a very special day for the 3 of us. Ro has the day off so he and the boys are moving. I made sure I had everything packed and the things we couldn't pack I keep reminding Ro not to forget them because I don't want to come back here. Only to get Delilah... We decided to get her last so she won't get freaked out by the house by herself or be in the way of getting our room set up. That's the only room right now that will have furniture in the rest of the rooms need to be painted. I'm am soooooooo happy this process is done.I have heard that buying a house can be stressful of paperwork and such.. but man oh man. Good thing I have a lot of patience Ro ran out a couple weeks ago and I had to hold on to the sails of the boat or we might of tipped over. So I better get ready for work. I just had to share with you.

ESCROW CLOSES the 10th!

Gamough and I .. she loved baseball so working at Modesto A's was perfect


LOL man this process of buying a house has been crazy.. soooooooooo much paper work.. We went yesterday to FINALLY sign the last of the papers and escrow will close the 10th now.. so no more postponing this.. it's gonna happen.. or else! We are getting tons of free furniture from a friend of my Uncle's who is moving his mother into a rest home. So Tuesday Ro will be renting a U Haul and getting all of that furniture. We are so blessed by all the people who have helped us with this process of buying our own home. With the furniture to the money, to helping out, we couldn't of done it with out the help of those people. We are also excited about spending Christmas in San Diego and going to a Charger game.This will be Ro's second game I believe.. His first was a Raider game which he was soooooo drunk at because of his friend Freddie. So this one will be chill except for me getting up and screaming the whole time. My Uncle was sweet enough to trade someone else to get these tickets for us. He had already given them to someone so he had gotten them back from them and gaven them other tickets, so we owe him big this Christmas. Also it will be nice to be with my (our ) Nana on her 93rd birthday. Every since my Gamough passed I've been wondering what I'm gonna do for Christmas. Every year of my life Christmas Eve we would go to Gamough's and see everyone in the family and eat and open presents. I sometimes start to cry about Christmas because I'm not ready for Christmas Eve, I know it's going to extremely hard but that's why I have Ro .. he told me that we will get through it together. I felt bad.. we went to Red Robin last night to celebrate the last of the papers to be signed, and I said something about Gamough.. He started to tear up and I tried to say something else so he would stop and not get embarrased. As I am crying now I think I should end this blog and say my next post will be about the house and us moving..

Glad election is finally over.. tired of those commercials..

Just got the email from our Realtor about our roof inspection. We have a bout 6oo dollars worth of repairs, but we are happy it's not more. My Dad said he knows the people who did the inspection and they worked on his house and will do a great job, so that's a good thing. So just an update on house stuff. We can't wait to move in and start painting and fixing it up. We still can't believe we have our own place. I .. think it's mutual .. we have themes for our house.. Our office will be sports stuff. For me it will be Chargers, Padres, and King stuff. Ro will have Cowboy's, A's, and Laker's stuff. Kitchen will be daisy of course.. We are so happy we have yellow tile on the counter tops.. =0) Guest bath.. daisy.. Guest bedroom we have a lot of Disney lithographs.. so that's what the theme will be.. I hope my sister will be in that room a lot. I decided the living room will be a Japanese theme.. Ro said not a lot of red.. lol I have some really cute figurines and cute prints for the wall. I want to get lanterns for lighting in there. Something totally different.. something you don't really see much at people's houses or in magazines.. I rented from netflix the Carol Burnett Show, she's an awesome comedian.. I originally got it for my mom to watch.. but I'm gonna go watch it .. I'm house sitting for my Mom right now.. RO's home with Delilah.. So off to go watch Carol and work on my baby blankets.. Night
