(sense of relief) x 2

The past couple weekends Steve and I have been viewing some condos with Steve's uncle who is a real estate agent.  We've been looking at the 2 bedrooms and 2 baths condos to get an idea of what's available and at what cost.  We've seen a few condos we may potentially be interested in, so yesterday Steve and I went to the bank to talk to someone about applying for a mortgage.  We went to see my dad's contact who is probably not much older than I am and who had a wealth of information to share.  We didn't apply for a pre-approval yet but he did say that we're perfect candidates and based on our combined incomes we should have no problem qualifying for the amount we are asking for.  I feel relieved to know how much we can be approved for and am now more excited to go condo shopping b/c I won't have a doubt whether or not we can actually afford the place we're looking at. 

Last weekend I went to this home decor wholesale store to look for my centrepiece vase.  It's open to the public but you a business permit is required to purchase their goods.  Luckily Steve's co-worker who owns a home decor business leant us her permit.  I have been looking everywhere for this particular vase and have not been able to find it anywhere.  I was getting so desperate and almost willing to pay an arm and a leg for it but finally found it at this store.  It's not the exact vase I was looking for but it's definitely close and will do.  The best part is the vase was right in our budget which made Steve very happy!

Anyway, we were told they didn't have enough in stock and the next shipment would only arrive mid-May.  That was fine with us since our wedding is not until the end of June.  But today I received a phone call from them and they explained there was an error in their inventory count and they actually do have enough for us to pick up right away.  That just put my mind at ease b/c that is one less thing to have to follow up on and be panicked whether the shipment will arrive on time.  Now I just need to figure out how to pick up 45 vases and where to store them!

This is what the vase looks like.  Can you guess what I'm going to do with it?
