Big News!

Well, there will soon be a new addition to our family, we are pregnant! Just barely, due the end of July, but definitely feeling the morning sickness (which everyone keeps saying is good.) We had fun telling all our parents in person as they were in town for Thanksgiving. They were very surprised and very excited as this will be the first grandchild on either side.

We are very glad that we will be in our new house by the time we have 3 bodies living together...well, maybe we shouldn't count our chickens before they hatch! We have signed our papers, but some glitches are still being ironed out, we hope to close the middle of this week. We'll keep you posted on both of our big changes!

No Place Like Home...For the Holidays...

Or, living on the street? We heard yesterday that things are moving S...L...O...W on the selling bank's end of our home purchase. We are supposed to close on Wednesday but there is now very little hope of that happening. At this point we are just praying we have somewhere to move to when we have to be out of the apartment on November 30th! Forget about how cozy arrangements are going to get with Carole's parents and Brandon's parents arriving for the Thanksgiving holidays to a 2 bedroom, 2 bed, lots of boxes everywhere apartment!

Keep your fingers crossed and your prayers going for us, needless to say every time we think the stress is nearly over something else comes up! We are having Smokey practice his pathetic face in case we need to do any panhandling, though :)

One Step Closer!

Yeah! We found out today that our appraisal went great on the house. Not only did it appraise for more than we are paying (always a good sign) but they are not requiring any repairs before we get our loan. So, now we just have to get the bank to move their patooties so we can close on time!
