Sam!

Where have you been and what have you been doing? Dare we ask? Carmen

Awww Thanks for thinking of me! Life has been fairly hectic around here lately. Eric and I are in the process of purchasing our first home. Friday we went and viewed 3 with our realtor. I loved one, Eric loved another one (based on photographs/web listing.) We were bickering about it and needless to say I was dreading the process. Well his house was a disaster and was more work than it was worth (water issues, 12 feet from a railroad track, uneven floors, etc.) So the last house we viewed was mine (I won't even mention the first house we viewed because it was AWFUL.) We walk into this house and it is PERFECT! Fully remodeled and redone. So we are doing our second walk through on Sunday with our parents and then making an offer. Crossing fingers he accepts and we'll be in by Christmas! I thought of you yesterday because we had family photos taken and I wore one of the shirts you gave me. Today I am wearing two shirts I picked up from the last clothing exchange and I think they were Sarah's. On the weight loss front I am down 62 pounds. I reached and surpassed my first goal of 230 pounds so now I am hoping to weight 215 by the end of November. Sorry life has been so hectic but I do get on everyday and read the messages etc. Sam
