Holy craziness!

So let me just recap this past week for you:
Friday - we both worked then met Cara at Applebee's for dinner and drinks. Then it was off to the mall to buy Chase a few new work shirts. Success!
Saturday - Sleep in, grocery shopping, also stopped at Target and Sterling Optical to find me new glasses. Then Knighthawks game with Cara and her whole family.
Sunday - Lazy day. Convinced Mom to drive out here to bring me ice (we don't have an ice maker and use a lot of ice, Mom has an ice maker but hardly uses any ice so she brings it to me). While her and John were here we decided to go look at the models at Ryan and Faber Homes...they're right down the street from us. We loved them. I'd been wanting to look at Ryan because they have a neighborhood out in our desired location. We decided to make an appointment for Monday evening to talk to Pat about financial stuff, just to see where we sit. After looking at the ones here we decided to drive out to Farmington to check out the one we want to live in - dreaming. They only had 6 lots left, sad.
Monday - Work for both of us, meeting with Pat at 6pm. We were there until 8, kept him an hour late, and left with the financial breakdown for two different floor plans. We fell in love with the larger one and my hopes started soaring - I want to live in that house!
Tuesday - Work, went to Gates/Chili to look at glasses with Cara and had lunch at Subway, then went to Greece to pick up my trial contacts. At 5:30 we had another appointment with Pat at Ryan Homes to walk through our desired floor plan, they're building it as a model. We ended up leaving him a check to hold a lot.
Wednesday - Work, interview at Hemisphere Management, dinner with Mom and John to get their opinions on our building a house that is well over what we thought our price range was. Conclusion = We can afford it and still put money away into savings.

Saturday we go back to Ryan to sign the contract and work through all that. We're bringing Mom and John to make sure we don't miss anything and to show them the model that's being built.

Yea, we're building a house. So much for getting a cheap starter that needs tons of work! I'm quite excited. & terrified.
