Ello, lovies!
How was your weekend?
If possible, ours was busy and relaxing at the same time!
But...
Monday, I'm less than thrilled that you're here so soon!
Here's the recap:
Friday night, hubs and I went to dinner and came home and caught up on our DVR. It was nice to have a night doing nothing!
Saturday, we slept in. HALLELUJAH!!!
We went to the Farmer's Market and got some goodies!
Those peaches are amazingly delicious!! I plan on making a peach cobbler this week!
And I love fresh okra! Yum!!
We used those blueberries to make blueberry pancakes for breakfast
for dinner Saturday night!
Sunday, we went to church, Sunday school and lunch.
When we got home we did some serious cleaning/organizing/laundry.
Last night I made chocolate chip cookies.

That may not seem like a busy weekend....
Well... There's one thing I've left out...
We did some serious house hunting this weekend.
After looking at all these amazing rent houses, we had a serious change of heart.
We found a house that we fell in LOVE with.
Only problem, it's not for rent. It's for sale.
So we started doing some math, budgeting, thinking, praying, talking with our families, etc.
And we've made the decision that we're going to look into buying a house!
Now, we very much understand that this is quite a process and we're fully aware that the house we fell in love with may not be for sale once we get to the point that we're ready to make an offer.
But after lots of praying and talking, we think buying may be the best decision for us now!
Here's some houses that we've looked at...
{sorry some of the pictures are blurry}
and one of these beauties belongs to this GLORIOUS kitchen...
{I die...}
Any tips for first time home buyers are welcomed...
And encouraged!
And we wrapped up the weekend watching the season premier of True Blood!
{we love this show, but I really hope this season is better that the last}

Sounds like you guys had a great weekend! I love Farmer's Markets! Those cookies look delish I will definitely be checking out that recipe! I think True Blood will be better this season, they definitely threw a lot of stuff into the first episode that's for sure!
So fun buying your first home :) Congrats :) And thanks for sharing that recipe, I am trying it soon :)
Your farmer's market goodies look so yummy! Looking forward to your peach cobbler recipe missy! Good luck with the house hunting. It's such a fun process :) You know how to get a hold of me if you have any questions!
I would just DIE for that kitchen!! Good luck with your house hunting, that is so exciting!
First - love True Blood! I agree... I wasn't crazy about the witches last season. Hopefully this year is better!
Second - buying a house... how exciting!!! We bought our first house in 2009, and my biggest tip for you is to stay within your budget! Find an amount you can/want to pay monthly, and only look at houses that fit within that. We started getting desperate because we couldn't find what we wanted in our price range, and tried to "force" it. Eventually we found OUR house that was actually in our budget, and it all worked out. But there's no sense in making yourself house poor. Figure out a budget and make a list of things you need, and just keep hunting until you find it! :)
that's the recipe i use...best cookies everrrr.
and good luck on the house hunting! it can be stressful, but you're doing the right thing by taking your time and most importantly, PRAYING. :)
I LOVE that second house and that kitchen WOZA! So great!! Just a exciting time for yall!
Glad yall had a good and super yummy weekend!
meg
that kitchen is killing me!! too beautiful!!
...and this season of TrueBlood looks (crosses fingers) great!!
My fiancé bought a farm and house last spring and we've been making it our "home" ever since. My advice is to be patient and wait until you find exactly what you're looking for. We looked at several places before finding the one... but we knew it when we saw it. It's a big decision so settle for nothing less than all your greatest expectations! :)
I love breakfast for dinner!
How exciting & I am TOTALLY loving that kitchen. Can't wait to hear all about the house buying process. We will be praying all goes well!!
Beautiful home!
