Well, after long adue, I am finally getting around to posting a new blog.
Here is what has been happening as of late...
In regards to our house offer, we have still not heard anything. It has been almost 4 weeks, & we have yet to hear if our offer was accepted, if the bank is even interested in our offer, or how many other offers are on the table. Short sales can be very frustrating/time consuming, but I'd like to think that they can also be very rewarding if you get the house you want for much, much less than it has been appraised at. At this point, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed & hoping for the best!
Work has been very, very busy, but I am trying to remain level-headed as this is my "busy season." I know there will be a lot of late nights ahead, but I can't let myself get too wrapped up in my work that I drive myself (& everyone around me) crazy.
This Labor Day weekend the boyfriend & I headed up to Milwaukee/Wisconsin Dells for a four day vacation. We left Thursday evening after work & arrived at his parents house in MKE around midnight. It's really not a bad drive, & we have 2 rest stops we always make pit stops at where we know the cashiers by name. Most of the drive I spend in the backseat cuddling up with the pup. Anyways, here is a quick synopsis of our trip, along with a few photos...
Friday: We left Milwaukee around noon after a nice morning of playing with B's nephew, Aidan. He is such a good little boy & grows more & more everyday! After a 1.5 hour drive up to Wisconsin Dells, our first stop was at the delicious Moosejaw Pizza for pineapple pizza & a variety of delicious beers!
After lunch, we walked around town, shopped a little bit, then made our way to our cozy hotel nestled in the woods. Our balcony overlooked the lake & it was definitely a comfortable room for the inexpensive price. We then decided to take the kayaks out for a spin on Lake Delton while we waited for our friends to arrive...
Unfortunately, it started to rain. Fortunately, we were shortly thereafter greeted with bloody marys from our friends Matt & Kelly who had just arrived in town. Two hours & a few cocktails later, we settled on sushi for dinner, & then headed to what was one of the strangest/most interesting nights I have had in a long time. We ended up at a club called WETT, and danced the night away!
Saturday: We woke up around 10 after hitting the snooze button multiple times, & decided it was too rainy to go to our intended destination, Noah's Ark. Being that the Dells is the water park capital of the world, we settled on our next best option, Kalahari Water Park.
This is just a small snippet of the HUGE indoor waterpark the Kalahari Hotel holds. Did I mention you could surf inside?
We topped off our night at Kahunaville Restaurant & Bar where we had a delicious dinner while watching a bar flair show. Because it was only midnight, we decided to head next door to the indoor theme park in which we had free tickets to. We played laser tag, rode the go karts, & watched Matt waste money on numerous claw machines. SO much fun!
Sunday (Funday): Woke up late (again) & headed to breakfast at an old 50's Diner. B & I then headed out of town back to Milwaukee for a day of fun with his family. Although we were running on little to no sleep, it was great to see his (huge) family & indulge in some of the most delicious food I have ever had. B's mom is so talented, & I always look forward to trying some of her creations. She really outdid herself at this party, & made 3 different types of sliders...lamb sliders w/ tzatziki sauce, bbq sliders topped w/ coleslaw, & buffalo burgers drizzled w/ blue cheese. My mouth is watering just thinking about it, & I ate until I couldn't move my mouth.
Monday: B's mom made delicious berry crepes with sausage patties for breakfast before we headed back to Indy. 6 hours later, we arrived safe & sound in Indy. Bed followed soon after.
Well, that is all that has been going on around here. I will try to update this more frequently. Now to prep myself for a 4 day work week!
