Sunday Funday!

I hope everyone had a good weekend (so far if you're on my timezone cause it's not over yet!). I know I did! My brother and his girlfriend made a last minute trip to our town to go camping and to spend the weekend with us. My brother* and I were always super close growing up and I absolutely adore his girlfriend, so I was ecstatic that they made the trek up here. It was really nice to spend the weekend laughing after the crappy news I got Friday. Speaking of Friday, on the drive home I had a total.meltdown. Crying, then laughing because I couldn't understand why I was crying, then crying some more. It was ridiculous. Thankfully I composed myself by the time I got to my house. I'm such an ugly crier, they probably would've left had they seen me like that!
Friday night we went fishing & camping. We only caught two fish and hardly touched the beer we bought, but there was just something about sleeping under the stars that restores the peace in me. I laid awake for a while, even tossed and turned quite a bit, but waking up to the sun shining on my face and breeze blowing my hair, I told everyone, "That was the best night's sleep I had in a long time!"
We didn't stay out at the river for very long on Saturday morning. It started to get pretty warm again and the fish just weren't biting, so we headed back in to town. After showering and grabbing some lunch, we hit up the swap meet and the county fair. Our county fair is super tiny, since we're such a small community, so that wasted all of about an hour. We then drove out to the casino and hit some balls at the driving range. I despise golf (years of softball training taught me to not swing at the ground), but my whole family goes golfing so I decided I had better pick up a club and practice. Let me tell you I.SUCK. I freely admit it! I bet I'd feel more comfortable if I could do it Happy Gilmore style with a hockey stick, but with a tiny club (minus the driver) and a tiny ball, the odds are just stacked against me! After an hour of frustration and jarring my entire body from smacking the club in to the ground, we headed back in to town, ate dinner, watched Bridesmaids (HILARIOUS movie by the way) and went to bed.
This morning (Sunday) Curtis had to work, so it was just my broseph, his girlfriend and I. We watched The Crazies, then went to Subway for lunch before they left to make the 1 1/2 hour drive home. We ended up sitting there for another hour talking! Finally they left and I went grocery shopping.Which brings us to where I am now: sitting here waiting for Curtis to get off. I was gonna bake some Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread, but my dumbass forgot to get pureed pumpkin. I was walking around the store unable to focus on anything besides the house we came across this weekend and completely fell in love with. We're not really looking to buy a house right now; we haven't given it much thought since we looked in to getting a loan last year and didn't make the requirements. While, driving around town yesterday we happened upon a house for sale. I hadn't seen it before on any listings (I've been known to browse from time to time) because it's for sale by owner. After stalking it again today, I called to get some more information. Tomorrow I'm going to talk to a lender and see if we even qualify to purchase right now. If we do, we'll go from there. If not, it's not gonna break my heart. I'm fully prepared to rent another year in the house we're in now. And while I used to want to purchase before we had a baby, I'm not feeling like it has to be that way anymore...especially since I saw the cutest baby girl in the grocery store today and almost broke down in tears. I'm such a pitiful mess right now!

Anyways, cross your fingers that we qualify for a loan and keep sending that baby dust our way! I hope everyone's week goes well!

*Technically, he's my step-brother (stepdad's son), but we've never really paid attention to that. He's my brother. That's it.
