Wow....Engagement Down, Wedding Down. HOUSE HUNT ON

So... I haven't been able to update this blog in over a year! I can't believe time is going by so fast! I promise to try to update at least every month so everyone can stay in our Arizona loop :)

#1. Arizona is SUPER hot right now!
#2. We experienced our first HABOOB together about 2 weeks ago.
~Definition: A haboob is a wall of dust as a result of a microburst or downburst. The air forced downward is pushed forward by the front of a thunderstorm cell, dragging dust and debris with it, as it travels across the terrain.~
#3. Derrick survived his first "Hispanic/Mexican" Birthday Party with all my extended family that came up from Tucson to celebrate my Grandma Yolie's 65th Birthday!

ohhh.... and #4. If you haven't heard Derrick and I are currently house shopping!!! After renting the past year we are very excited to purchase our first home together. So far the house hunt hasn't been so wonderful, but everything happens for a reason, so we will just keep searching!
The first home we put an offer in for was a 4bd/3bath home in Scottsdale with a beautiful outside area and SUPER awesome features like a sauna and atrium, but the offer fell through :( (I'm pretty sure because of the shady realtor)

Now, we currently have an offer in on a 3bd/2bath home in Paradise Valley. This home has great features and great potential- Pool, Outside Area, Dry/Food Storage Area(which I will DEFIANTLY need Raynes womens help with), Laundry room, Arizona room, and 3100 sq. ft. BUTTTT if you know Derrick he LOVES a great deal which also means it's a FIXER UPPER . I love that he knows what great potential it has and how much it would cost to make it into my dream home :) Hopefully we will get news this week letting us know if the seller accepts and if she does it will move to the bank, if she doesn't then we will have to put in another offer at a higher price. We will keep everyone updated. Please keep us in your prayers.

Love you all.
