1 Excuses... at least they're valid ones right?

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while... actually since the very first post.  My apologies.  I have genuine excuses: not having the internet (other than while visiting my sisters), my hubby's grandma passed away, the hubby was home for the previous, planning my sisters and my big combo birthday party, general house material gathering, etc.  Ok enough with the excuses.

Living proof I don't have internet access. Yes, I have a picture of an Aston Martin on my desk top.  Yes I am a girl who likes her cars.

It was nice to have him home-- even though it would have been better under better circumstances-- as his grandma was the most wonderful grandma I have ever met. It also reminded me what supportive, sweet, caring, loving in-laws I have.

May she rest in piece.

Back to having the hubby home, before I get too sappy.

It's different (in a good way) to have him home when you're used to being alone.  We typically like to spend every second we can together, so it's no surprise when things get a little cranky. We had a tiny tiff like any normal couple... him thinking I should have the little towel because I have less 'surface area.'  My defense, I'm a girl so I should get the cushy things in life (don't judge, it was the only thing I could think of).  As a solution, I found similar large cushy towels, and no further remarks were made (other than a mutual promise to have large towels no matter what).

These were the towels we decided to gripe at each other about

Yes, this is visual proof of my pops' 70's bathroom. He doesn't like change.

Oh-- and he finally got to see the house that he picked out online.  He loved it.

This viewing was quite different than the norm as I had a posse with me.  You see, usually it's just me and my Realtor exploring all different homes together.  Occasionally, my amazing mother-in-law or my sister would tag a long as a stand-in for the hubby.  This time my crew was the hubby, my sister, my aunt, and my pops.  Talk about anxiety-- keeping everyone entertained while being the tour guide was not an easy task.  And here's a sneak peak of the house:
