So in an attempt to make this a happier place... let's all post good news! Aside from the dramz here, there are still two full work days until the weekend, I could use a pick me up!
My good news: MH and I have been talking about doing a major addition (adding a second story) on our house since we bought it. Currently, it's only 1000 sq ft and only has one bathroom... well, anyways, we found out yesterday we got approved for the construction loan we needed!!! I am so ecstatic! I'm having visions of a beautiful master suite with a claw foot soaking tub... The next steps are to have an engineer come out and make sure the current foundation can support a second story and then work with an architect to draw up some plans. This could very well be our forever home and I couldn't be happier! Squeeeeeeee!
Only one more day of this studying madness, then my exam, then PARTAY!
Also, my study group (2 of my besties in the program) will be having a little girl's night tonight to de-compress before the exam. We are getting mani pedis, making dinner, and just hanging out a bit.
NFL pre-season! Going to the Bills/Redskins game tonight, and leaving work early. Double win!
My sister is going too! Her bf is from Buffalo.
i think we are going to start demo on our kitchen this weekend and I so excited! The not so exciting part it the fact that we have 15 Ikea cabinets in our hallway that need put together.
Also tonight I am making the first tomato basil pie of the season since we had a tomato explosion in the garden this week.

That is awesome!!!! I really want to see pics of the before, after, and the process and hear all about your experience! We also bought our house with the intent of adding on one day. We'll be adding on a master suite eventually, but I don't know if we'll add on to the back of the house or add an additional story.
nacho- congrats! thats awesome! kare- I'm so happy for you!! xokell- damnnn congrats!
I've been super spoiled this week- my mom was in town and took Brady on every single walk (he gets one before work, after work and right before bed). It's been AMAZING to just relax! And my husband gets home tonight from yet another trip. Yay!
Our nt scan came back with amazing results yesterday. We are super excited. I am going to the jets game next weekend. So excited for football to start.
I need to know more about this tomato basil pie. I have an overwhelming amount of basil growing in my backyard.
Kare-YAY! Help is here!
Xo-Congrats! That is really impressive!!
Adlove- Woohoo!! That is exciting!
Joan- Yay! I love walking Oscar, but it would be nice to have someone else do it for me for a break!
Today is my Friday too Ewinn! Tonight we're taking SIL/BIL out to celebrate her pregnancy. My MIL (whom I do get along with my occassionally butt heads with) sent me a text last night and an email this morning thanking me for being so supportive and a great SIL that I started to cry!
We have a meeting with a new contractor today for our kitchen reno. Cross your fingers for us that it goes well and that his quote is within our budget.
Today is the first Steelers pre-season game! Here we go!
I'm not a Steelers fan and that did it for me! Yay! Football season!
Today is my Friday. I have a hair appointment after work (haven't had a haircut since before summer started) and then happy hour with my girlfriends from grad school.
