// - Cakes & Houses

Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days. I'm really not sure where this week went. Today was Brett's birthday, he turned 30. We went house looking, cake tasting & to dinner. Horray!

At a bridal fair, we'd gotten a free appraisal from Wells Fargo & I'd texted a friend who moved into a new home right after her wedding. Well, her husband is a Realtor now, so I've been talking with him and we found 2 houses we wanted to look at.

Come to find out, one of my co-workers currently lives in one we wanted to look at! It's a really neat house, and huge! It's a log cabin with a full basement and a shop/garage. Oh and they'd let us keep the hot tub & the stove. Sweet. It has a lot of great things to offer and is really neat looking. It also feels very homey and has 2 bedrooms upstairs & 2 downstairs as well as 1 restroom on each level.

Then we went to a brand new one and the first one wouldn't open, so we went next door, but that's okay because it was the one Brett had liked to begin with, ha. That was gorgeous! We loved everything, except for the carpet. We'd want a dark green, rather than a beige. Theory being it'd stay cleaner longer, hehe. But it has the tall ceilings & tile counter tops. Oh, and a wall begging us to hang a TV off it, haha.

After house looking, we picked up my Mom & went cake tasting. And we have our cake!! :D The only bad thing is since we designed it, we don't have a picture of it! But it's a 2 layer [I'm trying to keep it cheap], square cake. The top layer will be "crooked" compared to the bottom. And it's white with teal flowers with silver centers & black and teal "beads" around it. It's gonna rock! It's Lemon Poppyseed cake with lemon butter cream filling & cream cheese frosting. I can't wait to see it!

So after all of that, we went to dinner and discussed houses. We equally enjoyed them both and they both have good & bad things about that. We ended up deciding that we're going to try and go for the brand new home because over a course of 30 years, $3,000 isn't that much. So next week, we meet with Jake to discuss options & go from there. I just hope our credit is good enough. I've got the good credit, he has the good pay, so we should be ok. I've been praying to Grandpa to help us get in this home. What a perfect wedding gift, ya know?

Tomorrow I order my dress!! *squee* I'm going a little more prepared this time so hopefully we can get a picture of me with the dress, but not in it because it's way small. But it's soo beautiful!!

Diana asked for pictures, when I figure out how to do it and align them properly, I'll do that :P
