Begin the legendary wait
Hi friends! How are you? Hope you’ve had a great day so far <3 Thank you SO much for your awesome comments and stories on this morning’s post. Also, I’m so happy to hear you’re liking the Monday workout!! Thanks for always being awesome.. you do it so well 😉
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
(It’s amazing how little things, like mustard and chives, can take a meal from “meh” to “yeahhhhhhh”)
More eats:
(my all-time fave)
+ sushiiiiiii 😀
I haven’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
Salmon sashimi
The lunch bunch 🙂
The Pilot and Trev
Kyle and Meg
Domination:
When we got home, I jotted down some grocery and meal ideas for this week:
and then met with our REALTOR!!!
I’ve been itching to give you guys an update on what’s going on with our house, but we’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 we’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.
(The view from our *hopefully future* master bedroom balcony)
We’re totally happy waiting because we’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 doesn’t end until June and we aren’t technically stationed here until mid Summer. (The Pilot has to go back to Valdosta for about a month, and I’ll prob go back with him for half of it)
So there are the deets! We’re cautiously optimistic that it will all work out and of course, I’ll post some info when the bank makes their decision.
I’m off to dance my little heart out 🙂
See ya in the morning!
xoxo
Gina

ohh best of luck with the house business, I’m sure it will all work out the way it is supposed to 🙂
I so hope the banks are faster there than they are around here when it comes to homes! Saying a prayer for you guys 🙂
…also so happy to see lots of photos of you & the Pilot, it’s so good to be back with your other half 🙂
Is that cinnamon on the banana? Yum.
Good luck with the house. I hope the bank accepts your offer! 🙂
yep!!
thank you 🙂
That view is amazeballs!! Fingers crossed the bank accepts your offer 🙂
Sending GOOD house vibes your way!!! Love the view 🙂
Yay for sushi! I love it! So glad it came back to your life! I love the squid salads too! I have a hard time debating between squid and seaweed when I get sushi!
LOVE the view from your possible house * fingers crossed* Im so excited for you guys!!
have a great night girl! xoxo <3
i have the same dilemma- today i wrote “seaweed” then crossed it off for squid. sometimes i get both 😉
In college my roommate used to eat sushi from 7-11 (a convenience store, are 7-11’s national?! hehe) and after I tried ONE bite I wouldn’t have sushi for YEARS. You should add that to your list. “Never eat the $1 roll and never eat the roll from the convenience store.” These are life lessons right here. 😉
hahah just stored that valuable advice in my brain forever, thank you
Sending you positive thoughts for an outcome in your favor!!
Stay away from $1 sushi… 😯 NOTED!
You are handling all this waiting/up in the air things so well 🙂 Good luck with the house, I’m sure everything will work out for you two.
thank you! we’re staying positive about it 🙂
I love the blueberry muffin Larabar too! Best wishes on the house 🙂
Hope all goes through with the house- the waiting game is NO fun, for sure!! Love the sushi meal-yummmy
WOW, what a view!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! 😀
HAHA! How about just never buy sushi in Valdosta! 🙂
hahah! VALID point!
You do an amazing job with your life being in limbo, but you have your loverrr!
that’s all that matters 🙂
Good luck with the house!!! Ahhh I’ve also had a shady $1 sushi experience…ugh should have known it’s sketchy to pay that little for raw fish- but yes there is nothing like DELICIOUS good quality, fresh sushi and sashimi 🙂
So happy that the seller accepted your offer, and yes, now it’s in the bank’s hands. Sometimes the banks will get back to you in a few days. Or a few weeks. Or a month++. I feel your pain. Been there. Once they DO accept it, or counter, then the ball really starts rolling and you guys get to do inspections, financing, etc but yeah, soooo exciting for you!!! Love the blue sky pic!
and your sushi perils..I remember that post like it was yesterday. I’m sure you do too! ha! But glad that you are back on the sushi train and loved it! Great pics w/ your friends, too!
That sashimi looks AMAZING!!!!! especially for a desert 🙂
So exciting about the house! Fingers crossed for you guys! 🙂
WOW on the balcony view! I can see why you love it so much. I’m sure the bank will have great news for you. 🙂
thanks, fingers crossed!!
You’ll have a balcony!? That’s awesome! Good luck with everything!
Best of luck with the house!! LOOK at the view! Just showed my husband!! (who also happens to be a pilot!) 🙂 Crossing my fingers for you guys!
Good Luck! Worth the wait!
Awesome view! Hope you hear back soon!
oh my goodness is your new place up near carefree?!?!?!?!?! it’s so nice up there!!!
nope, but carefree is beautiful 🙂
Good luck with the house! I also love blueberry Larabars– my Whole Foods didn’t used to stock them and once they started I literally screamed “yesss!” in the aisle. I got some pretty awkward stare downs, but now I’m happy with my blueberry bars.
What a purtty location you live in- i’m quite jealous you live in a dessert 🙂
Hoping everything works out with the new casa 🙂 xx
So, it sounds like the house is a short sale and not a bank-owned one if you’re waiting for a response now from the bank. I hope it works out – short sales can can be tricky since the bank is (hopefully!) accepting less than what the owners owe on the house. My husband and I are also looking for our first home right now, super exciting! 🙂
crossing my fingers for the new home!! and now, i want some salmon sashimi…DROOL!!!
best of luck.
I want that squid salad, it looks soo good. I also want that view.
Really really hope you get the house! Fingers are crossed for you!
Yayyyy for the house!! Fingers crossed for you!
Just read the running post, and it seriously couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I can’t run as much as I used to because of my knee, and even though it kind of pisses me off, I’ve realized that if my body doesn’t like it, why push something that isn’t meant to be?! There are so many things that my body LOVES to do- I should focus on those instead of the one thing it can’t 🙂
things I didn’t know about the pilot: looking forward to that situation (why is it such a human trait to be curious about others so). I would love a how-to post on eating sushi! I don’t know any of the manners for pieces other than california-roll sizes. Sometimes the rolls are so big or the sushi pieces are large; are you supposed to eat them in one bite? is it okay to not? (this is when I retreat to my miso soup)
House-buying is so so exciting!! I’m leaving for school in the fall, and yet my fam is looking at a new house…down the street? Haha I can’t wait to hear more!
Argh…I HATE waiting. The view from your balcony is absolutely breathtaking. I can see why you’d want to live there. I’m thinking that breakfast will soon be a long drawn-out affair sitting out there! 🙂
the waiting game sucks but it flies by! you guys will have so much to do…buying a house is another full-time job!
Good luck with the house stuff — hopefully it all works out!
We actually have a legit $1 roll at our sushi place…granted it’s called the Recession Roll and it’s just rice + seaweed…but still its a great filler between the $10 ones!
That view is stunning! I hope everything works out for you!
Good luck with the house! My fingers and toes are crossed for you! I can’t wait for the “Things I didn’t know about the Pilot” post – sounds like fun!
Been dying to know about the house. Can’t imagine how anxious you are! Good luck 😉
That view is absolutely incredible!
I’ll be sending positive thoughts your way!!! What an exciting time! All of your Tucson pictures are making me nostalgic! I miss it so much!
Yikes a $1 sushi roll? That sounds mega sketchy! But at least your sushi lunch yesterday looks good (and hopefully bacteria-free ;))!
My fingers are crosed about the house situation!
Love the view! GOOD LUCK!
Hi Gina! I’ve seen Larabars on clearance at my local Target. Maybe yours would have some? Cheers. 🙂
What a gorgeous view!! Good luck with the house buying! 🙂
Looks like a super fun day! I will be envisioning the back accepting the offer and you two moving into the house this spring. The view looks beautiful. Enjoy all that sunshine because it is rainy, rainy, rainy in Oregon. Have a great day!
Best of luck with the house!! That’s awesome. We’ll all stay optimistic with you. :):)
That view is unbelievable! WOW! Just breathtaking.
Fingers crossed that you hear back soon!
That view is shouting out morning yoga! Good luck with the house negotiations! Maybe if you slide them a few of your macaroons…:D
