We Have a Mortgage

We are now homeowners, well, condo owners for the same price of a normal home. It's been a long wait and to be honest there were many times I wanted to just forget it and move into a rental. The researching, viewings, waiting, and more waiting never seemed to end. Eventually though, it paid off. Yesterday we closed on a condo in Mountain View, CA that we've been trying to buy for over 3 months. It was a short sale, then foreclosed on, went to auction twice, but with a lot of persistence we were finally able to buy it! It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an office...so plenty of room for visitors:) There is a lot of remodeling we'd like to do before we move in (and before the baby arrives). We definitely have our hands full, but we are super excited!! I'll try to take some pictures before the demo begins!

Visitors!

Two of my closest friends happened to be in San Francisco the same weekend! Rachael (my bff since 4th grade) and her boyfriend, Andrew, came in for some interviews. Plus, my college roommate, Mitzi came in just for fun! We spent the morning with Rachael and Andrew. I used Yelp to find a good place for brunch and it worked wonders. We ate at Mama's at Washington Square. If the huge line in the picture doesn't attest to how good it is, I will. It was honestly to die for and if you are in the city anytime soon you should make it a priority to go! We then met up with Mitzi and her boyfriend, Kyle. We walked around Pier 39 and then up to Union Square for shopping and hot chocolate. Christian was the photographer, which is why he isn't in any of the pictures and also why I had about ten pictures of my huge belly to choose from!

Rachael and I right before I got scarred by the crazy bush man!

As we approached the restaurant we could tell we were in the right place by the long line!
