Summer Vacation


Still no word about the house, altough its ONLY been 2 weeks. They say these can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months. It sort of feels like I didnt even put an offer down, let alone am working to buy a house. I have had some pretty good dreams about getting the keys and converstations with the real estate agent. I am hopeful!

This is my last Saturday of the school year! I am so excited to be done with this school year. It has been eventful, a little more challenging than last year. Which is hard to believe with all that I had on my plate last year. I am just glad it is almost over. I have had a few thank you cards from some of my seniors, thanking me for teaching them skills that they will forever use. It feels SO good to hear that you are really touching their lives! Teaching is so hard, but when you actually see the changes in kids lives it makes it SO worth it! I hope that I can save up for a Scholarship that I can give to a student each year, to use to further their education.

My summer is going to be jam packed with lots of traveling and hopefully moving :) But trust me I will be doing a lot of reading, sun bathing, and just relaxing. Thursday I should be done with school by noon, after which I will put on my swim suit on and soak up those UV rays!

Almost



School is almost over thank heavens. I feel like this school year went by so SLOW. I am so ready for a nice summer sitting by the pool and spending time with family. Only two more weeks, one week is class and the other week are finals! Yipee!

For those who read my facebook, you learned I put an offer on a house. Well they accepted the offer, but since it is a short sale I have to wait for the bank to approve the offer. They say that could take anywhere from 2-3 weeks to 3-4 months. I have my heart set on this house. I am hoping everything will work out in my favor. If the bank approves by the end of June I will be egible for the tax credit, and it would be perfect timing since my apartment lease will be up. Lets just pray its meant to be. If not it will be another year of living in apartments. I have a lot of faith everything will work out.

My super savings are going good.. I am not really buying a lot because I am trying to save mucho monies. Pretty much at this time I am only buying things that I absoulety have or I can get totally for free. I am really putting every extra penny towards this house. Since there are some things I would like to add to it if I do get it.. ie.. Grill, Dyson Vaccumm. YOu know the luxeries that I feel I can't live without :)

I never would of thought that I would be single and buying a house at the age of 25. But everything happens for a reason and I trust that my father in heaven has a plan for me and will provide me with whatever I need at any given time. I truly feel so blessed to be in Arizona, who woulda thought I would end up here?

Well I should get some Saturday chores done.
