Still playing the waiting game...

So, from my last post I stated, we are in the process of building a house, and we receive weekly updates letting us know of the status of the construction loan...Last Friday as I was impatiently patiently waiting to receive that oh so wonderful email from Ms. Lindsey, it never came.. Nooooo, she must not be aware that I look forward to our weekly chats about the pre-construction stuff.. On a happier note, my mom is actually building behind us a few houses down (future free babysitter ) and her loan closed the other day and they have already turned the dirt as well as prepped for the slab (by the time this is posted the slab should be down). 
 
Also we drove by to see if a sign had been placed in the yard and O to the M to the G... they have finally PLACED a sign.


 
 
 
 
 
On another note this past weekend we went to this local "biker bar" type place called Slidder Inn, which happens to be one of our favorite local places which serves a little of everything from vegan/vegetarian friendly to complete cow lovers:)

Update!

Hey lovelies! So its been an entire week or two since I have updated this lovely blog! Last Wednesday, I had the worst migraine of my life that lasted almost an entire week that had gotten so out of control, I had to visit my primary doctor in order to get prescribed migraine medicine..NO BUENO..

Last Friday (11th), I also heard from the construction company that's building our first home letting us know they are still waiting to close the construction loan with the bank (previously I was told it normally takes between 2-4 weeks). This week will be the end of two weeks so hopefully we will here something, fingers crossed.

Saturday (12th), we drove to Jackson to visit Steve's side of the family, it's been a good minute since I had last seen his dad , so it was rather nice playing catch up. We ended up staying until 9 that night before heading back... All in all last weekend was rather busy for me.

S/N: Spring semester is almost over, THANK YOU BABY J... I have one exam left in Microeconomics and a few other things to complete for my Biology 2 class and then I will be free for the next few months!

Pico De Gallo - Chunky Guacamole

In a medium bowl, combine cilantro, tomato, jalapeno pepper, onion. In a separate bowl squeeze the lemon juice on the avocado in order to keep it fresh (turning brown). Combine the avocado with the other ingredients and lightly toss. Add Salt/garlic/pepper to taste and WHAALLAA you have yourself some delicious Pico De Gallo or chunky Guacamole!... ENJOY!

Best to refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

I personally enjoy this as a dip or placed as garnishment for any entree. (view pictures below).
