We got the house! The house is ours!

A lot has been happening!!! This has been the most exciting 8 months of my life! We are officially buying the house, we're just working on getting some minor details ironed out, but besides the little stuff, we can comfortably (and nervously) scream with cheer! Now, with all this house....there's a TON of planning to do!!! First things first - the kitchen. Ted will be able to remodel the kitchen while we are still living in the apartment, which makes for a less stressful living situation. We are going to be taking the house one step at a time. After all, we have plenty of time! I think one thing i may try working on is the landscaping. We have plans to pretty much rip it out and start over but for now, i think things should just be cut back to expose the house a bit. The windows really do let a lot of light in; even though they look like pigeon holes. Once we can get back over there, i will have to take a picture of the view. We sit on top of a mountain (hill, to those of you in CO) and the view is great! From the bedroom windows upstairs you just see sky and land.

We are very excited to start our life in this house; to start our family; to raise our family; and to grow old together. We couldn't be happier!

And to make matters even GREATER ---- there's even more wonderful news to scream with joy about ----

I've never shaked so much in my life then when those those wonderful little lines appeared! We're going to be parents. I'm going to be a mommy!!!!

We are due to have our baby in December...and of all days, on Christmas Day. I truly believe this baby will come before the holiday because he knows how much i want to lay around enjoying him on Christmas day. I do not want to be stuck in a darn hospital on that day or night. So, we are going to be keeping up with our exercise regimen and hopefully he will decide to show himself earlier!!

Thank you for all of your kind and happy reactions - i love all of the support and excitement - and we thank you for it all!!!
