Begin the legendary wait

Hi friends! How are you? Hope youโ€™ve had a great day so far <3 Thank you SO much for your awesome comments and stories on this morningโ€™s post. Also, Iโ€™m so happy to hear youโ€™re liking the Monday workout!! Thanks for always being awesome.. you do it so well ๐Ÿ˜‰

This morning, we took Bella for a 30-minute walk around the park and then came back for b-fast.

I rolled with a goat cheese and veggie omelet + half a banana

(Itโ€™s amazing how little things, like mustard and chives, can take a meal from โ€œmehโ€ to โ€œyeahhhhhhhโ€)

More eats:

larabar

(my all-time fave)

+ sushiiiiiii ๐Ÿ˜€

I havenโ€™t had *real* sushi ever since I got the $1 roll in Valdosta and had scary fish nightmares and was sick all night. Note to everyone: NEVER get the $1 roll. Ever.

Today, I was ready to take it easy with some of my faves:

House salad

Squid salad

salad (2)

Salmon sashimi

When we got home, I jotted down some grocery and meal ideas for this week:

and then met with our REALTOR!!!

Iโ€™ve been itching to give you guys an update on whatโ€™s going on with our house, but weโ€™ve had no new info. The good news is that the sellers accepted our offer!!! The blah news is that the house is bank-owned (which is why weโ€™re getting a SICK deal on it), so we have to play the waiting game until the bank decides if they want to accept or counter our offer.

Weโ€™re totally happy waiting because weโ€™re in love with the house and also have a back-up if for any reason it falls through. Also, my lease at the little townhouse doesnโ€™t end until June and we arenโ€™t technically stationed here until mid Summer. (The Pilot has to go back to Valdosta for about a month, and Iโ€™ll prob go back with him for half of it)

So there are the deets! Weโ€™re cautiously optimistic that it will all work out and of course, Iโ€™ll post some info when the bank makes their decision.

Iโ€™m off to dance my little heart out ๐Ÿ™‚

See ya in the morning!

    Congratulations on the news about the seller! Hopefully the bank hurries things up. They should want to get everything taken care of as quickly as possible but we all know how that goes… Good luck!

    It is so awesome that your offer got accepted, but I know waiting on the bank could take forever! My husband and I once looked at a foreclosure and the realtor told us that it could take up to 4 months waiting on the bank. I hope that doesn’t happen to you guys, you so deserve to feel settled in your own home after all the events that have happened in the last 6 months!

    SUSHI!! i can’t wait to eat sushi again!

    Good luck with the house. Buying a house really is playing the waiting game. It took us almost a year to close on our house but in the end it’s worth the wait. =)

    Ooooh- where did you get those boat shaped dishes that your salad is in?

    That’s a great view from your new house to be- good luck!

    The blueberry Muffin Larabar is my favorite to!
    Fingers crossed all goes well with the house!

    I love squid salad! I hate that most restaurants only serve calamari fried–you can’t taste it that way!
