Guess what???

We are close to buying a house!!!!! This is so exciting!! TJ is excited too. We looked at the one we really want last night and are working on getting a better quote from a mortgage broker who happens to be Jeremy's best friend. We already have one but it's a bit expensive for us so we are looking at more options. This house has 1722 square feet in it. What it lacks in a garage and a fire place. Other than that, it is very homey. I am very excited about it, but I said that already!!!

We had a wonderful anniversary. I even got called for an interview, but I had to cancel. It is way out on Marine drive where Lombard turns into Marine Drive and then 5 miles past that. With gas as expensive as it is, I'll pass on that. But, now that we are buying, I will have to stay put with this job for at least a year. That was not my intent, but it will suffice. I was getting some calls but will have to quit now. The ugly thing that could happen to make me scream is if Kaiser actually calls me on any one of the 30 positions I have put in for. I don't know what I would do. Scream probably. I would have to take it, it's more money and more benefits, but Let us not put all of our eggs in one basket as of yet. This opportunity has presented itself and we shall see what transpires. Tatyana loves it, and would have her own room. We would need to buy a refrigerator and washer and dryer. It has brand new stove and dish washer. On our anniversary we went to see Over the Hedge. It was cute but not my most favorite. Tonight we are staying home and having steak with pasta and some vegetable. I'll probably cook. TJ had to fast yesterday for blood sugar levels and then we went and had a shitty dinner at a restaurant in Milwaukie.

I was away for a while since Melanie has been out sick and it's start week. I did get caught up on Jen's blog. Interesting, very interesting. I hope you get the pictures for me. That would be awesome!! I think it is a different approach since the church thing, but I like it. To know you is to love you as the song says, and that's it in a nut shell. I wish I had your phone number on the weekends, because I think of you often and would love to call up and chat. Or email either way, but your blog doesn't provide that, so I just think about you a lot. Perhaps I sound like Brian!!?? Just kidding!!~

Christina and I have had some awesome conversations together the last couple of weeks. I'll miss her when she is gone for sure. Good thing we have email and phones!! I think JR is the one for her for sure!!

I'm almost finished with the DaVinci Code and then move on to the Geisha. It is an outstanding book, and what is bizarre about it is the fact that I've heard this information before just not put in this way. Doesn't change my perception, it's the same....
