Can we move already??

Okay so I am just ready to move NOW!!

I got my kitchen all put together last night although I am sure I am going to have to move my gadgets around about a thousand times before I am satisfied but atleast I can cook in there. I started on the master bedroom at the condo, my worst nightmare, but made quite a large dent and have all of the important pieces ie: shoes and purses packed. All is good.

Saturday is the actual moving day, though we do not have much left but our furniture, boxes of books, and our closet stuff.

I am so excited for us to be in our new house. It has been both a blessing and a curse to live in the condo while we were working on the new house. It allowed us to paint and tile and make the house ours before our belongings take over. However, Shawn and I have barely seen each other over the past two weeks because he has been working on tiling the bathrooms, putting up shelves in the garage, and just working on different odds and ends while I have been trying to tend to our life and pack up the condo. The only time we really see each other is for the fifteen minutes before we pass out when we get home.

Holy Cow!!

Shawn and Dad at our closing on our first home.


Okay so as usual our life is insane!!

Not only did we close on our first house on February 6th, but we also found out we were pregnant. Shawn then had a two level spinal fusion on his neck using a metal plate on Wednesday February 18 so neither of us can lift anything heavy and both of us are exhausted for different reasons.

Since February 6th we have begun painting our house and it looks fabulous!! The first two levels are finished and they look so good. Our master bedroom is being painted and should be finished tomorrow and then the painters will move to the atrociously scary basement and get rid of the frightening murals. We are so excited and the paint, new appliances, and our touches so far are looking wonderful. Shawn and one of his soccer teammates named Robert are going to tile the bathrooms because they are all carpeted for some stupid reason. Then we just need to get the carpets cleaned and we will move in on the 28th of February.

My mom and some of our very good friends have been helping us move boxes and all of our stuff to the new house gradually and we have been slowly putting things away. Shawn's mom has been helping as well and bringing sustenance in the form of cookies and such to keep us motivated.

Anyways we are psyched and Shrek loves his new yard!!

Oh Baby, Oh Baby!!

Holy cow!! Friday morning I took a pregnancy test after a month of thinking I had the flu and discovered we are pregnant!!

I then went to the doctor and the test turned immediately!! The doctor said we are most likely about two months pregnant.

Our first ultrasound is this Thursday February 12, 2009 at 3:30pm so we will be listening intently for a heartbeat and the baby will be measured to more closely determine how far along the pregnancy is.

Not only did we find out about our pregnancy, but we also closed on our first home!! What a day. Life is incredible.

Today is the day!!

Currently the time is 8:40am and we are so excited we can barely stand it. Neither of us slept much last night and kept interrupting the silence saying things like "what color do you want to paint the living room?" and "when are we going to spend all of our gift cards we saved from the wedding?". We close at 2pm sharp today and then we will officially be adults with a mortgage and everything!!
