The Next Level

Imagine that - after a year, both of our leases are up! Having said that, we decided this would be a good time to consolidate our houses and buy something :)

It's been nice having our own places, but romantically & mentally we are ready to move on. Yep, having our own places was definitely something we both needed to do but onto the next level.

We've been looking in the district 196 area due to the kid's schools & pre-approval was not a problem. Apparently my credit scores rock! It only helps that I can put 10k down on something :)
There are TONS of great homes out there for almost dirt cheap. I'm actually excited the market is still down.

We've been looking at nice 3 level splits - the 4 bedroom 2 bath, corner lot, hot tub kind! There is one open now that backs up to a lake for only 199! I'm beside myself with how good the market looks for us & the amount of home we can buy for such a low price.

On another note, Troy has been out of town for an SEO summit in San Diego. We missed our clay class this week :( but oh well - Wish I could have joined him out there but instead we booked our SF trip to celebrate Flannery & Mike's union/baby.
Nothing like spring break in wine country!

Valentines Day

For Valentines Day dinner, Troy took me to the Meritage a french restaruant in St. Paul.

He showed up for our date in traditional style with a bouquet of flowers. - and a Valetines Day gift - This sweet diamond necklace - I'm sure it cost more than he should have spend, but he says "you deserve nice things"

If you look close, you can see the necklace in the pic.

Valet parking and 7 courses of declicious french food, a nice dry cab & port with our desert. It's nice to be spoiled. Thank-you babe!
