We just got cleared to close by the underwriter! So excited! Friday we'll sign the paperwork! Finally our first house. I should start the new blog soon!! :)

Still waiting

So the contractor we'd hired to manage our rehab lost his insurance and can no longer do it, so it all starts again. We have to find a new general contractor and he has to submit his bid so we can move on, close on the house and start the renovation. Once that is done, I want to start a new blog, but for now, I will stay here, talking to myself and visiting some amazing blogs about renovation, decoration and thrift finds that I love but can't really buy because I have no house yet...

Yesterday I received a newsletter on my email about The Eat Clean Diet Challenge. I am seriously considering joining it, since I do need to lose A LOT OF WEIGHT, after giving birth to 2 babies in less than 1 year... my Irish Twins! :)
Anyways, I still need to get my car to even consider this as a possibility, I need it to go to the gym... and while on a diet, I might as well have Tom go on it also... he could also lose a couple of pounds.

So we made it to Michigan, and although no one really reads this blog, I will keep on writing just so I have someone to talk to other than my 2 baby boys (myself for now).

We are really cramped in a small hotel room all day long, I don't have my car with me and my drivers' license expired last year before I went back to Brazil, so until the 7th of September (when I will be able to renew it) there is not much I can do but wait in here, with 2 babies, watching TV all day long and waiting for hubby to get home from work to take us out to see life outside...

I am anxiously waiting to close on our house. I went there to see it and I LOVE IT! It will be fun to start this new phase of our lives, finally. I just wished my dad was still around to enjoy it with us, as he would have been proud and had some fun, being an engineer... I miss him so much!

Getting ready to travel

I am almost all packed and ready to go back to the US, but now both babies and I are feeling a little under the weather. It is NOT going to be fun to travel with 2 babies, especially when they are not feeling that well. The weather here is VERY dry, so coughs, sneezes, and even a little fever... :(

I am going to miss my family and friends, but it is time to start over again...

Still missing my dad A LOT. (Dad, rest in peace. I love you!)

We set the date!

For going back to the US, that is! We will be leaving Brazil on the 15th of August, almost one year after leaving Chicago. It's going to be a long long day flying with two babies, but hubby is coming to pick us up and help. We're flying Continental. I hope it's good. I was hoping we could fly straight from Houston to Detroit (where HOME is gonna be), but it looks like we'll have go through Chicago first...

I hope babies behave well.

I hope I do not have a problem with Immigration. God knows how I needed to be here for all this time!

I am going to miss my family though. Hopefully I can be back here for Xmas.

:)

i am so excited i am going to start a new blog soon. we're buying a house. Our first house. Cute and nice and it needs A LOT of work. So I will blog about it so people (mainly my family and friends) can be part of it even from far away. I am just waiting for closing. Hopefully that will be soon. Also I am waiting for the day to move back to the US. I've been away for almost one year now and although it was nice and important to be here for this time (God knows how much this time spent with my father before his passing meant to me) it is time to go back and finally make it HOME!!
