The house!

*I finally added captions! Please note, it is very difficult taking house pictures! You can never get far enough back to fit anything in the frame! Try it yourself at your own house if you don't believe me!

By the way, here's an update. I'm having major realtor issues right now. Jay, his father, and I all took time off yesterday for the 9am house inspection. No one else showed up. I finally tried calling realtor to no avail. I then called the inspection company only to find out that my realtor changed the inspectation date the day after I booked it. It is now scheduled for Friday at 3pm. Not convenient at all. So I was steamed. I am even more angry now as I called my realtor and her partner yesterday REPEATEDLY and left numerous messages and they NEVER CALLED ME BACK! I'm starting to get worried and even more agitated. I've never had trouble reaching them before. I will call them again as soon as I close out the entry.

Woo Hoo!!!!

Our offer was accepted!!!

Hey Y'all!

I'm still alive : )

 

I was in Cape May and Manahawkin with Jay all last week. I will post pics soon.

The biggest news right now is that we put an offer in on a house last night! I'm so excited! It would be in the same area Jay and I both grew up. I really hope it pans out. The house needs some TLC but thats fine with us. Then we can make it how we want it before moving in. Here is a pic!

Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!

 

THIS JUST IN FROM JAY:

 Jay [11:48 AM]:  The realtor lady called me, said they are reviewing the bid today and we should get an answer by tonight

Happy Birthday Jay!!!

Jay got a cake at work today for his special day! YAY!

Cousin Jimmy

My second cousin Jimmy is a priest and has been for 25 years. Yesterday, there was a celebration for him, his silver jubilee. It was great to see him again and to see how loved and respected he is. He must've felt great too. Some many people got up and spoke about Jimmy, many recounting funny stories and experiences they shared with him. Jimmy is a great speaker and I enjoyed his homily; wished it was longer. While yesterday was a happy occasion, it did make me a little sad. All these people knew Jimmy so well, better than me, a relative. I wish I saw him more often. I always enjoy conversations with him. He is a wonderful man.

We don't have a large family at all. In fact, My mom (his first cousin), my brother and I are his only living relatives. And he made it a point to acknowledge us in his final words. He said, "I don't have much of a biological family at all, in fact they're all at just one table." He pointed to us and everyone looked our way and clapped. This made me feel good. I felt proud to be related to Father White (or cousin Jimmy as I've always known him.)

What a great day. I hope to see more of Jimmy in the future. I want to be included with the lucky others that are close to him, know him so well and have my own stories to tell about him at his next anniversary celebration.

I am glad that Jimmy will be the officiator at my wedding. I look forward to that immensely.
