Father's Day Weekend

This weekend flew by! Here it is already Sunday night and it's back to the daily grind. I am starting at a new banking center tomorrow, so I am very excited to be doing that. It should be an interesting week for me at least.
On Saturday, me and my friend Amanda spent all day baking cakes for people who requested father's day cakes. We had so much fun. The kitchen was a mess but it was worth it. We are seriously considering going into business. We will probably just keep doing cakes on the side for now. Eventually we would like to open a shop somewhere maybe in Oakleaf since it is a growing community and halfway between where me and Amanda live. So, if anyone needs a cake, let us know! We would be happy to do it!
Jesse was working all weekend, it always seems like we have opposite weekends off. Although, this was my first weekend off in a long time. We both checked on the house this weekend, its coming along just fine. They have done the electrical work and also put the air ducts in. No huge changes or improvements this week. Our friends, Brandon and Kinlin Kirk, will be moving in pretty much across the street. They signed the paperwork last weekend. We are very excited for them, as this is their first home as well. We are also excited because that means we will be close!
Today, Jesse and I spent time with our families separately. My family was having a barbque and his family was too at the same time. :) We both had a great time though. Caylee was a little rascal just getting into everything now that she is crawling. It's hilarious. My grandmama was there and also my uncle Carl and grandpoppie. It is so nice when we can all get together like that, even if it is only for a couple of hours.

House

So, to start from the beginning, we are building a house here in town off of Normandy Blvd. We started the process on March 30th as far as deciding which model we wanted and putting down a binder fee. We are so very excited to have our very own house built. They started the actual construction on the house a few weeks ago, they were waiting on the permits before that. It is moving along very well so far. We have only had one minor issue as of yet. It actually worked out better for us! We chose a lot that we liked and then it turns out the cdd fees weren't paid on that lot yet like the guy told us they were. Instead of that lot, we got a better lot at the same price because of the mistake! Today, I received an email from our loan processor and she said we are within 60 days of closing so we can lock the rate anytime now, which is exciting. Our house is being built by DR Horton and we have been very pleased with them. Jesse goes out to the house nearly everyday to check on things. He is very excited about it. If I can figure out how to add a slideshow on here, I will add the pictures of the house on that. Jesse said this week, they added the duct work and the electrical work.

Engagement Party

Saturday, Jesse's nana threw us an engagement party. We had so much fun getting together with our families to celebrate. Everyone that we love was there minus my brother who is in Arizona right now for his advanced training for the army. We missed him and wished he could have been there with us. It was just a casual get together, we had Olive Garden for dinner, which was delicious. We want to thank everyone for coming and showing your love! We appreciate it!

Wedding

So, for those of you who don't know....we are getting married January 23, 2010!!! Yay!! So, we're not technically "the Midgett's" yet. We are very excited to be getting married. The planning has gone well so far. My mom, sister, and I are having a blast getting all the details put together. This is the 1st time any of us have really done this so we are learning a lot along the way. We are having the ceremony at Shindler Drive Baptist Church. This is the church that Jesse grew up in. Our reception is at the German American Club in Riverside. Jesse and I have been dating for almost 3 years in September. We have known each other since I was in 7th grade and he was in 6th. We were just acquaintences though all throughout middle and high school. After high school, I went away to college in Orlando, FL and when I moved back we met again through a mutual friend. After that, we started dating and now we're planning a wedding! Make sure you visit our wedding website www.mywedding.com/cherylandjesse Leave us a comment!! We would love to hear from you!
