hectic...

I remember when I got married and life suddenly seemed busy and hectic. When you weren't working there always seemed to be something else that required your attention.  It was a lot different from the laid back life of a young adult still living at home. But eventually I became used to it, and even though it still seemed to have it's hectic moments it really wasn't as hectic as it had seemed at the beginning. Well now that we have progressed to the next step of buying a home and having a child, life has once again stepped up its pace. I am viewing my life as busy and hectic again, and I now that eventually it will settle down and I'll get used to be being a little busier. Although when little man comes it is probably going to start the cycle over. :)

So yes we signed final papers on our house on the 30th of April and received our keys. It was a very exciting evening! Let me tell you, if you ever need real estate agents in this area let us know and we'll give you the numbers for the men that helped us. They were amazing!! Paying for the insulation under the house out of their own pockets, bringing us housewarming gifts when we moved in, always being there if we needed to talk, funny, eager to help, easy to be around, always looking out for your best interests, and just downright AMAZING!!! :)

Having a home has been a lot of work, but well worth it. I love not having neighbor kids on my patio, or playing loudly RIGHT outside. Although we still have neighbors to deal with, it helps that they aren't right there in your business all the time. We are still on the hunt for some dressers, and a changing table/dresser...so if you hear of any one getting rid of something let us know!! :)
I'll try to post some pictures of the place before long.

Now on the Little Man....we have picked out a full name for him, but have decided to tell only parents and siblings for now. I am hoping to keep the name a surprise until he comes but I guess we'll see. :)
He has been growing at a rapid rate lately, and I find myself really looking forward to the end. It is getting harder to sleep for very long at one time because he moves around a lot the minute he knows I am resting. He also likes to make me go to the restroom many times during the night. :) We were giving a new due date...July 30th...and while it is only two days different then the old one I like it a lot better because I can say that he is due at the end of July. :) Plus two days makes a big difference when you are counting weeks! :) Today I am now 30 weeks!!! :) Wow!!! That means only ten more weeks. I CAN'T WAIT!!! :)

On to other news, my friend Marianne and I finally got our photography business off the ground  (although we still have to get our website up and running). We shot Laura's wedding with a little help from Marianne's mom, Linda Foster. It was VERY stressful, and very hard...but we loved it, and really want to do it again. :) We didn't get some of the shots we wanted just because of time restraints  (people weren't ready on time) but we still got some great shots and for that I am grateful. :)

Well, anyways I better get off...hope you are all having a good week!!!
