I had my fiance call Bank of America to discuss getting a mortgage with them (long story, but we didn't think we'd be able to buy a house until the market bounced back and his ex wife can refinance) and they will be working on our pre-approval tomorrow. We found 4 houses online that I'll be looking at next week to narrow down and hopefully Saturday, Dave can look at the ones I still like. We're hoping to close late Sept. Our lease is up on Halloween.

So he talked to his dad and told him about the latest with it. His dad said "Let me know what 10% and your closing costs are and It'll be my wedding gift to you." The 2 stipulations are that it has to be a house and if his wife dies before him, we have to have room for him (He's in his 70s and his wife has had, no joke, 22 strokes)

 

Today, I woke up after he did and I walked into the kitchen and the whole kitchen was clean and there was a load of laundry in the washer woot.gif This has NEVER happened before!

 

I got my TTD from my apt. office and it's perfect! I love everything from BCBG though! I posted it in another thread, but a pic is in the link below.

 

I realized, today, I'm a first time home buyer and will get 8k in Jan. when I file my taxes since we won't be married. Our wedding expenses are basically set from that. Dave really really wants to get re-certified for SCUBA and I've always wanted to do it so he suggested that we do it and do our dives in St. Thomas with part of the money. That's the only thing he really wanted for tourist type stuff besides golf. The rest will go toward fixing up the house or paying down the principal.

 

Then tonight I was talking to one of my bridesmaids on Facebook and she asked what I wanted her to do with her hair. I said I don't care if you have it up or done or any combination of the two and that I'm doing mine on my own. She said "Oh no you're not! My gift to you is that I'm paying for your hair, nails and pedicure that day. It'll be a good time to relax before everything. I would have had your make up done too but I know you're allergic to some stuff and you don't know what they use!" There was also talk of how she's vain and was definitely going to be having her hair done and didn't want to "out do me". HAHA!

 

I just really wanted to share my good news :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
