houses and parties, oh my!

We're going to see houses this afternoon I can't wait - I feel like I've vetted so many of these places based off online info but now we get to see the real deal...hopefully we see something we like because I can't handle our scuzzy landlord anymore!

Then tomorrow is our engagement party - I still didn't complete all the cake pops but almost there. Got a brand new dress after the other one got too big, new giannttt heels, and I am ready

Hope you all have an amazing weekend!!

have fun!!

Have fun at your engagement party

Thanks everyone!

Looking at houses was fun, but we will NOT be using the same realtor. She was the budget version of the mom on 2 and a half men. Really rude, rushed through everything, doesn't know the area at all, and really insulting towards the area we want to live - nope, it's not Scarsdale, but she didn't need to be a crazy racist about everything
Hopefully we can line up some more viewings soon; someone we work with gave us the card of her realtor that she raves about.

Engagement party was awesome Our parents had met each other briefly, but the whole rest of the families got to meet so it was really nice. Elisa's in Bellmore was great to us, and helped us out a lot because one of my BMs is gluten-free, I have a vegan best friend, and my sister's boyfriend brought his kids who basically wouldn't eat anything on the brunch menu. Loved seeing our dads come out of their shells and walk around and mingle. My nieces were a smash and really helped everyone bond over their ridiculous cuteness lol.

My favorite part of the whole party was just the fact that my grandparents came down (well, my dad went up and got them and brought them to LI) from Hunter. They're in their 90s and it was a trek, especially for my grandfather, but they came and I was super excited

Of course, we have no pictures yet because FH & I just ran around all afternoon and barely had time to eat, much less sit, but when our parents and friends take some I'll put them up. I have cake pop pics too haha I have to add them to my DIY album.

SIGH all in all a pretty good weekend, now....just gotta get a house so we can host another family event!
