Father's Day

Today is Michael's first Father's Day as a Dad! My Dad, Will and Michael went out to play golf while my Mom and I ran some errands with Austin and got things ready for dinner. We all met at the lake and we grilled steaks and twice-baked potatoes. I made Michael a card with a picture of him and Austin and I wrote a poem for him. It wasn't extremely creative but I'm an accountant so what do you expect??? I think it was pretty good and I think (and hope) that Michael liked it too!

After dinner Will helped us write up our offer on the house on Granada. We're going to make the offer tomorrow!

The Open House

Michael went with me to look at the house on Granada. He liked it too! We see a lot of potential in it. It would be easy to add on to it (someday!) and we both fell in love with the backyard. It is a 100 x 100 lot and has a beautiful huge oak tree in the back. Now we have to decide if we want to make an offer.

We found our house!

I went for a walk with my parents last night (Michael was out of town) and we saw the cutest house that just went on the market. I looked up the listing and it looks perfect for us. Will scheduled an appointment to show us the house and I was very skeptical since all of the houses that we have looked at have either been too expensive or have horrible floor plans. This one actually has a good floor plan and we can afford it! What a birthday present (today is my birthday too!). There is an open house tomorrow so I'm going to take Michael by. I hope he likes it too!

My Mom and Dad took care of Austin so that Michael and I could grab some birthday dinner is peace. We went to Pappas, a local Greek restaurant. It was good but I still miss Sam's! My Mom made me a birthday cake - white cake with vanilla frosting and mini chocolate chips mixed in the icing - my FAVORITE!!!
