Tomorrow's the day! (and other stuff)

Sooo...tomorrow's the big day. Well, the day I've been looking forward to for about 4 months now. My gynecology yearly appointment...sounds fun, right? But I have truly have been waiting on this appointment. We've been trying for a year to get pregnant to no avail and boy do I have some questions for the doc! Hopefully we can get things on track and be expecting a little one in the next few months. :)

Anyway, in other news Ms. Inconsiderate got married yesterday so K has a new stepdad. Apparently they had a small wedding at the newly Mr. Inconsiderate's church. The guy is actually decent and over the past few months she has had her craziness under control...hopefully it stays that way!

Hmm...other than that...nothing really. Our house is still for sale. We aren't looking for another anymore though. We've been looking for 6 months and can't find anything we truly like. We want to build. We have the opportunity to go live at my MIL's for FREE for as long as we want (she will be moving in with her longtime boyfriend when their new house is complete in the fall) and be able to pay off some of my school debt. (4 years of private school tuition + one year of out of state tuition = a bitchin' load of debt!). Anyway, we've decided this is the best option for us because we won't be paying a mortgage or the 3,000/year in flood insurance we have to pay now...yes, 3,000! We should be able to pay down loans, evil credit cards, and car notes. With that being said, we plan on building our dream house in the next few years and will sacrifice these few to be able.

Oh, did I mention I got a new car?? Cause I totally did! I had to though. The transmission on my ten year old Mustang went out and it would've cost more to replace it then the car was worth. It's not brand new though...we aren't that dumb! You immediately lose value when you buy a new car so it's not worth it! It's a 2007, though, so it's close enough to being new for me! It's a Toyota 4-runner and I am SO-IN-LOVE with it! I've been wanting one for awhile. We would've waited longer but, like I said, my car broke.

Okay, the little old lady across the street totally just had my SS come get my husband to go across the street to fix her t.v. remote!

XOXOXO


P.S.-the little old lady paid my husband in "yard eggs" lol

A better person than me...

If I had to choose one person to be more like I think I would choose my husband. For whatever reason I've just been thinking about that today. I feel like I need to be a better person and I think he's a good person to model myself after. He's kind, caring, smart, funny, and sooo patient. Extremely patient. I'm not a patient person. At all. Maybe he'll rub off on me some...who knows. :)

I love you hubs!

The E-baby addict

Once upon a time...

...there was a girl. This girl had a desire deep within her heart to be a mom. A mom of a sweet, tiny baby with soft wisps of hair, round cheeks, and chunky legs. This girl was already a stepmom to a boy but she wanted a baby for which she could feel true love. She wanted a child of her own.

But try as they might, the girl and her handsome hubby could not seem to make it work. Oh they tried plenty but something just wasn't adding up. And so, the girl was left with her deep desire to have a baby...and her addiction to Ebay, which quite frankly, had gotten out of control.






For the most part this girl tried to purchase unisex outfits, hence not wanting to jinx herself from getting the precious baby girl she wants but at times she couldn't control herself and bought something frilly and pink. Everything in the girl's antique family armoire isn't from Ebaby Ebay, though, some things are of various origins, from people that know of her baby desire and hobby of collecting baby clothes for the baby that doesn't exist yet.

But the girl insists and persists, one day she will have a child.

XOXOXO

Things that make me smile...

A little bit of what we've been doing lately in pictures...and I'm so excited because we FINALLY put our house on the market. Now if we could just find another one we like...everything for sale around here sucks! ;)


K's room BEFORE updating:


K's room AFTER updating with new paint, new floors, new faux wood blinds, and a DEEP clean!

A sweet husband!

New floors in kitchen, dining, and laundry room...so pretty!

I'll be back...and sooner this time. I'm gonna try anyway!

La-Ti-Dah

Haven't written in awhile, figured I would just do a little updating. I hate writing things in bullet form but, alas, I am lazy and tired because I did not sleep at ALL last night and had to work today. My schedule is sooo screwed up because I'm doing a rotating schedule during orientation, mixing up my days and nights. And now that I wrote that sentence I'm vaguely remembering writing something about it in my previous post I wrote a year ago two weeks ago. Anyway, here goes:

• Still working on/updating the house and looking for a new house to call our home
  
• The job's going good minus the whacked out schedule thing. I've become very possessive of my sweet little NICU babies
• Today a tumor was found on my pawpaw's bladder and an "abnormality" found on his kidney. He's having a biopsy done soon
• Sunday night hubs and I walked in on K picking a scab off his arm with a pocketknife. Needless to say, the pocketknife (which we did NOT give him) was taken away
• Said scab in above sentence was due to K PURPOSELY scrapping his arm on the concrete at school because he was mad at a kid
• Obviously, and in much agreement with the psychiatrist, K has a major anger control problem
• We still have no bebe growing. Soon, maybe. ;)
• Other than those things, my new favorite thing to do is browse home decorating sites and add things to my thethingsiwant.com list
• Oh, and I almost forgot! We got a new dining table but its in our storage unit right now. It's gorg and we got it for quite a steal! I'll post pictures when we pull it out of storage for our new home (along with every single wedding gift we received in Nov 2007 that we have not taken out of the boxes yet. It fills a 10'x15' storage unit. We are so spoiled. And grateful.
• Lastly, I know I've mentioned this blogger before but sweet Angie's husband has passed and my heart breaks for her. If you have a minute you should leave her a comment to let her know of all the people thinking about her and her two boys through this hard time.
  

XOXOXO
