Scope It Out 5K

Kim and I ran our big 5K today. We were pretty awesome :) By awesome I mean we finished!! It was freezing cold this morning but Peggy and Nam got up early, drove us into the city and watched our run. What great support. Cold or not, we were determined to look good. Check us out in our cool running skirts! We had a blast.

My New MacBook Air

Nam is so fantastic! He was so excited when he decided what he wanted to get me for my birthday next month that he couldn't wait. So last night I came home to an unexpected early birthday present. It was beyond unexpected! He got me a new laptop, and a MacBook Air to boot. It weighs 3 lbs! It's so tiny. I have no idea how to use it. I've been a Windows user for so long, I have no idea how to function on a Mac. It's going to be such a fun learning experience.

Bev, are you ready to be my tech support??

Easter

Nam and I had a great Easter dinner yesterday. I made a delicious ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole and green beans. As usual, I really need to learn to cook in smaller quantities!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. We were thinking of you all :)

Happy 1st Day of Spring!!

It's definitely starting to feel and look like spring out here! The cherry blossoms are bursting out, the leaves are starting to pop up on trees and the grass is green (mostly). Yesterday was high 60's and rainy. Today is a bit cooler (50's) but sunny and blue skies.

I've got spring fever and need to do some spring cleaning :)

The Big 5K

Kim and I run our first 5K next weekend (March 30). Keep your fingers crossed for us. We've been running hard the last 3 months and are excited for the race. Kim will be out here next week, along with Peggy. I can't wait!!

New Home? Not Yet...

I think its been awhile since I've updated most of you on our housing search. In October Nam and I decided it would be a good time for us to start looking for a new place to live where we could split our commute. In searching for a new apartment, we realized that we were at a good point to start looking instead for a place to buy. We've looked at dozens of houses, but one fit the bill. Perfect location for us, a great size, well updated, and in our price range. What's the catch you may ask? It's a foreclosure. From what we understood it would take an additional 3-4 weeks to complete the sale because the bank had to sign off on all the paperwork. Well, here we are over 2 months later and we still don't have our house. The sellers bank has been very irresponsible and has not been communicating with the sellers or their agents. The sellers agents don't respond in a timely fashion to our agent (who is fabulous by the way). As of this week, our title company has been authorized by the sellers to contact their bank and deal directly with them. There was also talk that the sellers would have to retain a lawyer in order to get their bank to act.

Meanwhile Nam and I are just waiting it out. Keep your fingers crossed for us :)

School's Over!

Nam's a college graduate! He's been done with classes for awhile now, but the college finally processed his graduation application.

Hooray!
