Another Month Already

I can't believe it's already August 1. I can't really say that time flies when you're having fun because not a lot of fun has been going on! But it definitely goes by quicker than you could imagine. Before we know it, it will be Thanksgiving and Christmas and then the New Year. Craziness!

Austin and I had a good weekend. Nothing super exciting, but still good nonetheless. "Movin' Out" was REALLY good. It was very different than the typical Broadway show in that there was no dialogue. Austin described it as a really long multi-song music video. The "actors" merely had to dance their choreography while the band played above them and the piano man sang. They didn't have to sing, they didn't have to act other than motion and dance. It was very good and very interesting. After that, we went to dinner at P.F. Chang's in downtown Fort Worth which was fun and headed home to watch "The Pacifier." It was actually a pretty good movie even though it stars Vin Diesel and is a Disney flick. Of course, I love most Disney flicks so I can't really complain too much! It was definitely worth renting.

Yesterday, we started off the day driving around and starting the process of house hunting. We figure it will probably take us awhile to find a house because of several factors including the size house we want, the BUDGET we need, and the safe neighborhood that is also a must for us. We looked at a few houses we had found online, and it was a little sad because either the house looked very different when we got there or the neighborhood surrounding it was not something that I would feel safe in. Luckily, we have gotten a realtor that will be helping us search now, so that helps. Since realtors are free to use if you are buying (the seller pays the realtor fees for both their realtor and the realtor of the buyer), there is no cost to us and hopefully they are able to research and find things better than we could on our own. So we'll see what he comes up with. We won't be closing on anything until the end of January/first of February, but it's good to see what we can find, and the realtor assured us that it's definitely not too early to start looking. So hopefully our apartment days will be numbered at least! :)

Other than that, not a whole lot else to report. Our friend, Joey, got the CUTEST puppy which he brought over for a little bit yesterday. Bud, the puppy, is too cute and is all floppy and sleepy. Mikah (our cat) was not quite amused, but Maddie (our dog) was very interested and entertained by the little thing wandering around our living room.

Hope you all had a great weekend! Here's hoping this week will go by much more quickly than last week! :)
