The 29th of may is a good day for us. Five years ago we were watching the sunrise in Barcelona together. May 29th is the day we use as our anniversary since we have been inseparable ever since May 29, 2006. Last year, we went to Komi in DC. Komi is a 16 course tasting menu and blew us away. This years gastronomic experience was at Table 21 at Volt in Frederick, MD. The night was amazing. We sat at a bar in the hub of the kitchen with seamless service (and special accommodations for my gluten free diet), unbelievable wine and a mind blowing 21 course experience. Don't worry, my next post will outline all of the courses.
We don't really exchange anniversary presents, but this year we got the greatest present thus far: a RATIFIED CONTRACT! That's right, hopefully in a few short weeks the soon to be Paniagua's will be homeowners. Fingers crossed and I definitely do not want to jinx anything.
We saw the home on Friday, offer on Saturday afternoon, verbal acceptance on Sunday, and then a quick trip to kinkos to sign additional paperwork. Sunday evening at 6:30 (30 minutes before out multi course extravaganza) we got a crushing call.. another offer was coming in. We were able to push our concerns aside and enjoy our meal. After dinner Luis went to the restroom and when he came out his hands were raised in the victory/touchdown celebration dance. I was reading an "update" email from our agent wills and I had not gotten to the bottom. I didn't need to. Luis' face said it all.. we hugged and I cried and we went back to our b&b with a bottle of bubbly and sat on our balcony.
We still have a long road to go before keys are in hand.. (inspection, appraisal, financing)... but boy am I thankful for May 29th.
