It feels good....

...to be somewhat social again. The last few days we got our asses out of the house finally. We've had a night out with Glenn who's in town for work. One of my dearest friends Jim showed up to have a couple drinks at Woody's as well. Afterwards we all headed to Snuffers to eat as much heart clogging food that we could, continuing to talk and have a great time. I miss that.

Last night we had dinner with Gary and Troy at Ball's Burgers. It was great seeing them both. It had been way too long since our last dinner. We have good intentions. Troy is moving to Hawaii so we thought it best to make sure we see him before he's off to the land of perfect weather. We're really going to miss him.

We also got two invitations to Bear pool parties for the month of August and a Birthday party invitation for this coming weekend.

My life as a social butterfly seemed to be coming back, at least for a short while. We've been hermits lately due to Steven's project for work which has taken up so much time. We've also been watching our spending so we can pay off all our bills in the hopes of buying a home this year.

Unfortunately, not evryone understands that we're not capable of going out for drinks and dinners every other night of the week. We're lucky if we can schedule and budget a movie once a week. I'll be glad when this whole house buying experience is over.

We miss some of our friends. Some have moved on and we never hear from them anymore. Others, it's just tough to find the time when we're both available and able to meet.

Other times we're just too lazy to get our asses out of the house when it's 105 degrees outside.

I'm ready for Summer to finally start feeling like Summer.

Oh, baby! I'm ready for Summer to start feeling like Fall!

Glad you're getting out a little. If I still lived near by, I'd totally drop in on y'all. :-)

Before purchasing a property, primarily secure that you have enough source of income. Be certain that you have sufficient funds on a long-term basis to insure that you'll be capable of paying your monthly amortization.
