House Warming Party







Saturday May 15th 2010
The party was a hit! All of our family members came, the house was so crowed but it was great! For the Menu Buffalo Wild Wings assorted favors, a veg platter, a fruit bowl, cocktail shrimp and drinks! It turn out great! everyone loved the house. I think everyone had a good time and so did Rodney and I. It really does feel like a home since everyone came by and visited us.

Our Building Story

We started June 09, both of us wanted to start look for houses .We really didn't have a set price range or any other long list of things we wanted. We just wanted to see what we could get in a reasonable price range and areas. I've always watch this program on TV called Hot On Homes which shows builders and community's in the DFW area . We weren't sure on if we wanted to build or buy pre~existing. This first builder we went to was History Maker, we knew from right than and there we wanted to build a home. During that time the government had a deadline for the 8,000 tax inventive for new home buyers. We jumped on the gun and started the process. 9months later up & downs we finally close on our home February 28 2010. We have enjoyed being homeowners ever since we signed on the dotted lines.e we signed on the dotted lines.

I Failed!

I failed my math class, I'm a little sad not disappointed or upset. Most of the material we went over this semester is some new things I have never seen before or even try to work out in my life. It was a beginner's Algebra remedial class so it doesn't count for my GPA is just a catch up course. I'm actually glad to retake the course because this how I feel: that is first time I have ever seen some of the material, failing allows me retake it know that i know what to expect next time, I'll feel confident know that i know how to do it rather than just passing the class. this my spill..now on to the fun stuff I'm off for 2 1/2 weeks YAY! there is some fun filled things packed for my little break! I'm excited!.

Thing's Our On the Move

May is such a busy month for us, but I love IT! Tomorrow is the last day for the spring semester YAY! I'm ready I will actually have 3wks off to do all things needed and plus some in till June 1st. Here's some updates

May 3rd Wedding Anniversary, we actually celebrated it this weekend by just being together and spending time in our new home. It was a wonderful 2ND anniversary!

May 6Th I won the PCT (Patient Care Tech) Excellence Award!Awesome! I was so excited to hear I won. I do take proud in my job even though some ppl I know think its Sm but I try to impact though around me.

Over the weekend; We did some small yard improvements we brought Scotts turf builder. Apply the turf builder to a small area where we keep our trash cans. the most muddy places in our yard. I'll be excited how fast this turf builder grows because it says on the back it can grow on concrete so it must work! We also brought more strawberry's and a Mexican Lime tree. I will post pictures later on this week its been really cloudy.

May 9Th Mothers Day: A disappointment in one angle. here's the drama story. We decided to invite IN Law's over for mothers day dinner we told them about the dinner 8am Sunday morning. I wanted to cook spaghetti but she wanted some more healthier example Salmon no problem right?
After talking to her on the phone we went to the store and brought 2 salmon filets which was $24.99 and Crab legs $8.99 wow seafood is starting to add up. Fresh green beans and rice. Rodney had to work for a couple of hours so I got the house ready and waited til he got off work. It was about 4:45pm and I told him to call his mother and tell her that dinner was going to be ready at 6:30pm so if they wanted to head out than that would be fine.
Well turns out that she already ate and she didn't want to come over. WOW a big slap in the face. (now I know why i dislike her)
I mean we did go out of our way to make a nice dinner even change what I am cooking and she doesn't even come. Thanks really! Drama..Drama..Drama. I'm thinking in back of my head when we do if ever have a baby and you want to be apart of our child life i will remember this day and time. really! After all that my mother came and we had a good time she ate dinner and watched Knocked up. That was our mothers day.

So I'm basically off this whole week! which is super nice so I can study for finals and also this coming up week is our housewarming party. yay! I'm try to keep updating my blog and also get some more pictures up :)
