Who has two thumbs and two houses?? ....you guessed it! We closed on the new house today. The seller will lease back the house for another 11 days so we just walked out of the office and drove back h...
We received final loan approval, the HUD documents are in, and were on our way to the bank to get a cashiers check so it looks like were really actually buying another house this Friday. I figured th...
Before there was ever the mystery un-blogged under contract house, there were three houses that we tried to buy. Of course, I looked at hundreds of other houses online and we visited several without ...
So... Im still being really superstitious about the new house. The negotiations have been over for a while, we breezed through the appraisal (it appraised $20k over our contract price), and locked in...
Guess who has a house under contract?! Weve completed the inspection and option period and, well, are pretty committed to getting this new home (next month!). The funny thing is that the day after I ...
My mother absolutely loves questioning and re-questioning my (our) decision to buy a new house... so I figured I would go ahead and answer her questions in one easy to reference spot. Besides, being ...

Remember when I promised to keep the wedding out of the main blog until the big day passed? Well, the time has come for me to share way too many pictures of my wedding budget breakdown!Im still worki...
Currently, were still in recovering from the wedding and in super-saver mode (yes, it gets more intense than my normal thrifty mode)... so the random Craigslist buys and the big home improvement proj...
Im not really a hoarder... I just sometimes do hoarder-like things. I promise, you wont go into my main living areas and see piles of trash or old clothing. Plus, I love donating things that I d...

Once upon a time my clothing shopping habits were a little ridiculous. My issues were mostly due to the fact that I would browse way too often and fall into the clearance tag trap.&nbs...
Our desktop computer died last week. We thought replacing the hard drive would bring the thing back to life, but it didnt and now were in need of a new computer. Thanks to Nate being ana.. really car...

Yep, Im still trading the car for a more gas-friendly bike commute a few days every week. Its amazing because as the weeks go on, Im choosing the bike over the car more and more (4/5 days last week)....
