Let the Weddings Begin (and house hunting)

It seems we're a little too old for the "all my friends are getting married" packed summers of weddings, but we do have one this weekend. It's my sister's best friend getting married, and my parents and the Looneys (Lauren & Kevin) are all coming down/up to attend. The latter couple is actually coming in tonight so my sister can help out all day tomorrow (if any of you are bored and would like to play Wii with Kevin, he shares pretty well).

I finally got a dress for the wedding (and probably the others I'll attend this year) on Tuesday. It's a little bit large (but the price was right and I was going to puke if I had to try one one more unflattering dress), so I probably will need to sew it up a little tonight. Hopefully that will be uneventful. :/ I'm pretty much rambling, but I felt like I needed to post something before family comes in town and I don't have time!

Oooo! Here's something I haven't written much about: house hunting! We've been looking at houses and considering buying one for a while now, but there don't seem to be any that are quite right for us on the market right now. I'm picky about the area, and there is one part of Bryan that we're very interested in. I've made a map (also below) to show the areas we're most interested in (we're not set on that, it's more of a starting place or best-case-scenario). Green zones would be first pick, blue would be second. The suns are places some of our nearby friends live. The house shape the only home we're considering at the moment. The milk and apples is Farm Patch. It also shows our workplaces (the little man and woman in the bottom right corner)... we're interesting in trying to bike to work, so closer to work would be better. If you're local, be sure to tell us about any other houses you see, especially for sale by owners we might otherwise miss!
