HOME SWEET HOME

Wow, it seems like forever since I last blogged. Since we just barely got our Internet up and going at home and can't find the thingy to upload the pics, you'll have to be content with a post, sorry! We are officially in! Not completely unpacked, but hey, that will come with time, right? In fact, although it's not due until September 1st, we just received our first mortgage payment statement. Hmmm.....I liked the house part, not the mortgage part! I LOVE being in a home finally. So much more room....we're not so on top of each other, kinda nice. Steven likes having his "bachelor pad" downstairs (but I think he secretly likes being able to still come upstairs and get something to eat or just talk). The best of both worlds! Plus, I GET A CRAFT ROOM! Can you tell I'm excited? I haven't even started working in it yet, but that will come with time. It will also be where the office is going, but it's a pretty big room. I think I'm in heaven! Now I'll actually have a place to PUT all my craft crap. While we were boxing up our old place we've found so much stuff we don't use anymore that I think we'll probably have a garage sale. Now that we're kinda settled, I need to start going through everything and putting the sale together. Anyone want to join us? I think a multi-family one would be great! Just let me know...maybe the end of August? Anyway, hopefully we'll be able to put some pics up soon. I'll have to take one of Alan mowing the lawn...he loves doing it because it's "our" lawn. Wonder how long that will last?

We also just found out (well, not just, I guess) that we're going to have another niece and/or nephew on my side. I love babies! Annisten (my newest niece) is doing great. They just found out she does have some heart problems and in fact is headed down to Primary Children's in SL today to see if surgery is needed. Fingers crossed and prayers being said things will go better than anticipated. She's such a cutie and so sweet. So, while life is hectic, it's also good, we just need to remember that in the hard times and good. Oh! Update in regards to the adoption plans....they are still on, but we probably won't start until January. After buying the house we are kinda wiped out savings wise, so we're going to work on that end and then start the paperwork in January. Yeah! It will be nice to be able to kind of settle in more before starting another exiting chapter in our lives. Plus, we have to have the nursery completely set up (which is going to be kinda weird) so we need to empty out the room first. So again, if you can think of any fundraisers, please let me know. Hope everyone enjoys their weekends!
