Catching up

Well it's been a while since I posted so I think i'll just do some bullet points to catch up...

Since last writing, we've officially terminated our contract with the builder on the condo we offered on back in January—a 6+ month headache FINALY over. Since then we had made an offer on a house that fell through. The day we got the seller's counter offer, someone else came in with a higher offer we couldn't compete with. In addition to that, there have been at least two other houses we would have liked and missed out on because they sold too quick (yeah, houses are actually selling!!). Now we are considering a loft and have scheduled a meeting with the developer tomorrow evening. We've also received a reverse offer (the seller offered us the home at a lower price) on one of the homes we looked at. I think we may get another as well. Both, however, we ruled out—one was too big, the other too small. We are excited about the loft although a bit afraid of resell value (condos in general are harder to sell). It's a very unique 2045 sq ft space in an old factory with high (14') ceilings and concrete floors in the emerging Detroit Shoreway neighborhood. 

Friday: Went on the Goodtime III happy hour cruise for a friend's birthday. We all had a blast! It was the perfect temperature, clear sky and seeing the city from the river/lake was great! Afterwards we went to Shooters in the flats for dinner. 

Saturday: Biked 12.25 miles... went to the Feast in Little Italy (my dinner was fries and tiramisu... yeah i'm weird), drank with some friends and watched Michael Phelps win gold #8.

Sunday: Biked 11.75 miles, swam 20 laps... did some work around the house.
