Baby #2 is on the way....

Hi all SURPRISE! We're having another baby! I had an ultrasound today and got an official due date of June 3rd,2010! We are very excited and so relieved that everything looks perfect!

The New House

I know... it's about dang time... Here are some before pictures...
So the first one is obvious... the second one is the bonus room over the garage, 3rd is the living room, and finally the kitchen... now for the after pictures...

Okay... the first couple are Steve painting the house, then the kitchen with new paint and lighting, then the dining room, then the living/dining room and finally Kylie's bathroom. We are finally starting to slow down a bit after a hectic few months!

Finally...

We are finally in our house. We got the keys on the 12th and did some painting last Friday before moving all the big stuff in on Saturday night. It's so nice to be in our house! Kylie is loving it so much. I will post pictures soon! Thank you to everyone who prayed for us and who supported us through this crazy journey... I can honestly say that we will be staying put for a long time after that whole drama packed journey. We can't wait to have everyone over to see our new place!

ABC...

After days and weeks of trying I finally got it on film!!! I had to be a little sneaky but I got it! This is the cutest thing you've ever seen! Enjoy!


She is so smart... she's been doing this for about a month now. She gets a little better all the time!

Moving week...

Well, The week has finally come. We thought we would have been in our house by now but the bank (not ours) has been holding things up a bit. We have to be out of our house by this Friday so whether we are moving to our first place or to my parents has yet to be determined. Kylie knows something is going on but has no clue what is in store for her. We can't wait to get to the house and put all her toys in her playroom! Aahhh! One place for toys! I'm sure they'll still be scattered everywhere but oh well... we can try right :)
The only great thing about the delay has been that our mortgage guy was able to get us a lower interest rate than what we had locked in at! We are now down to a 4.62% interest rate which is AMAZING! When we started this journey we were thinking we would get about a 5.5% ... we're almost down a whole point!
I guess this week will determine a lot. We are praying that we have keys in our hands by at least Thursday! Wednesday would be better though!

We got the house!!!!

The bank accepted our offer today! We couldn't be more excited! We got the call from our realtor at about 11am and by 4pm we had picked out paint colors for some of the rooms and put in our 30 day notice! Yippie! We are no longer renters!!!!! I'll post pictures when we get to go up again.

House Update... well... sort of...

Just wanted to let those of you who are curious know that after 7 days we have still heard nothing about the house. Monday we found out there were 2 other offers and that the bank wanted all parties to come back with their best and final offers within 24 hours which would have put us at Tuesday morning. It is now Wednesday night and we still don't know if we got the house or if we have to go back to square one all over again for the 4th time. I think if we lose this one we will take a bit of a break. This past week has been really rough on both of us. Keep praying that we get it. Out of our list of things we wanted and didn't want there is only one thing that we didn't want and it isn't even that huge of a deal (or so Steve keeps trying to convince me of). I will update with more information as soon as I know anything.
