So, we met with our mortgage woman on Friday (most of which I can't remember due to exhaustion from a busy night at work). I really like her, she's really straight-forward and honest about her work, and we appreciate that. Another perk to this, her son-in-law is our realtor. So, if we like a home, he gives her a ring, and the ball gets rolling. Let's be honest, it definitely helps when the two important people in this whole deal know each other. It makes life simple.
On to the next step...searching houses with Richard, the realtor. We had found one house that I was absolutely IN LOVE with; however, it was a great deal and it went fast. So, this morning at 6:00 am I found one that was beautiful, and I sent it to Brad. Within our price range, a cute home, brand new actually, with a ton of the upgrades we want. Downside: it is very much a LONG way out from where we intended to end up. However, because Brad is a fantastic husband, he called Richard this morning, and we're going on our first house search on Monday morning, and this house will be one of our stops! YAY! I have promised to keep an open mind to the fact that it might be too far, as Brad has promised to keep an open mind that it might be perfect! More importantly...we will hopefully have a house of our very own in the next few months! We're excited!
Also new news, we started our small group with the new couples in the nearly/newlywed class. Our new 4 couples are just awesome! The now 7 couple small group is just so awesome! Tonight we did our first real discussion, and it was just so good. God is so so good!
Next in the news...I've decided I'm kidnapping our niece. We miss her. Or...I might hijack my own personal jet so Brad and I can fly wherever we need whenever we want. Good plan?
Valentine's was fun...even for a girl who isn't a huge supporter of Valentine's. After our fun date, on Thursday I wanted to do something to surprise Brad so I went and got him some chocolate covered strawberries..because he LOVES those. He brought me yellow roses...so pretty! We had a good day!
In prayer requests, Nana and Papa's friend sweet Bonnie, passed away this week. Please pray for them all as they are traveling to the funeral, and for her family. Bonnie was such a sweet woman.
Big weekend ahead..we're going to a partnership class at the Stone this weekend, we're on our way to getting involved and getting some roots! Saturday night we have a BBQ, and Sunday is the first time in almost 2-3 months where neither one of us had to work the Saturday night before! YAY!
Hope all is well! Promise pictures of something interesting soon..maybe a house?

Brad and Rach. We are new into the blog world. I found your blog searching b/c we thought you said you two were planning to have one. We are a little late on catching up though I see.
We are excited that you guys are house hunting. That's awesome! We're getting all settled here in St. Louis. We can't wait to see you both. It's been too long.
House hunting, how fun! Dan and I looked at some. It's so much fun! Enjoy and good luck!
