Life Updates

I adopted a few new addictions! 
My friend got a new camera, so she's been wanting to go on some photo sessions.  I've been tagging along with my SLR in hopes of learning some things myself.  An SLR is far more advanced than I thought it was going to be.  I started looking into The Digital Photography School website.  It's pretty neat in showing you the basics.  I think I know what they are now, but just need some pointers here and there. 

Fishy
I took this one at my house.  I thought it was neat with the thermos in the background shaped like the fish's head.  The photo looks dreamy because my hand wasn't still.  haha oh well, what can i do?  I need a tripod that's for sure.

Since finishing up Pushing Daisies, I've made 2 more apple pies and 2 tomato basil pies.  I'm almost pie-d out.  Doug's mom bought peaches.  Peach cobbler is coming out of the oven next.  I must start early in making them.  I'm losing precious sleep because I'm busy making pie!  I put two in the oven in hopes of saving time, but we're not supposed to do that.  Yea, it didn't cook well.  I was tired.  Need sleep~

We started watching another cancelled series - Samantha Who?.  It's so sad that they have such short seasons!  This one is 35 episodes long.  Samantha played by Christina Applegate is so funny!  Sam was in a car accident and forgot everything about her past.  She forgot what a bad person she used to be.  Now she has a conscience and behaves like a whole different person.  It's a light hearted comedy.  We like it.  =)

Why the sudden surge in television shows?  I think it's keeping us calm while we're waiting on our home.  The bank is still working on approving our offer.  We're getting antsy.  The market is falling some more, and we're thinking our offer was too high.  Interest rates are fabulous right now, so that makes it even more tough on whether we should lower our offer.  What if we make the offer, and the rates go back up?  Then our new offer it would still increase our monthly mortgage rates + we could have been moved in already instead of waiting. 

Yesterday, we also started thinking the home might be too small for us.  As time passes, we're continuing to save, and finding out we can actually afford something larger.  The question is do we really need larger?  Do we want to stretch our funds a little?  Then more waiting.  Do we want to wait any longer?  Questions, questions...  Any answers?  Well...we love this home we chose.  We see lots of potential growing with the home instead of growing into the home.  We'll make the changes as need be.  We want to be able to make adjustments to our liking, and it's cool cuz I get to blog about the whole experience!  Now, is our offer too high?  We think so, but lowering it might jeopardize our chance of getting a lower interest rate.  What to do?
