Officially closed!

Well, we are officially closed on our house. We met with the contractor yesterday & picked out flooring & paint. The house we bought is older & we are making improvements to it before we move in. We should be able to move in about 2 weeks. The contractors start Monday & I can't wait to see everything finished & start on a nursery. We are going from a 700 sq. ft. apartment to a 1700 sq. ft. house & I'm so excited b/c we need the extra space! I took my camera with me, but we were so busy I forgot to take pictures of the stuff we had chosen. I will eventually post before & after pics.

We spent all day yesterday with the contractor & then we went to Las Vegas Flooring & Tile, Lowes & Home Depot. It was a LONG day, but we got a lot of stuff done. Here is me & Jason in the back of the car. His mom & grandma went with us. I am trying to grow back out my bangs & I remember how much fun this was the first time...the bangs were fun, but they are hard to maintain. I hate having to keep them trimmed all the time:



We saw this really cute fan at Home Depot or Lowes (can't remember) & I thought it would be so cute for a space themed little boys room. But, I don't think that is the route I'm going:


Friday night was Jason's uncle James 40th B-day & we went over to his Aunt Gay & Uncle Dick's house to celebrate. His cousin Krista was in town with her 2 boys & they are so cute! I should've taken more pictures, but I forget. After we left their house Friday night, my feet & ankles were swollen for the first time. It scared me! Krista is a nurse & told me to buy some compression tights. I feel so out of shape & tired all the time. I am growing rapidly now & it is hard to get comfortable, especially to sleep. But, I know everything will be worth it! This child is such a blessing.

AND, I'm SO excited we finally found out what my sister is having!!! I was so positive it was going to be a girl, but I was WRONG. Becky is having a BOY!!! I'm so excited. They will be so close in age & they will be BFF's just like their mommy's. It will almost be like having twin boys in the family.

JARRETT + CONNER = BFF'S!
