    I figured I would update while I am at the computer doing homework. First of all let me say ITS A BOY!!!! We are so ecstatic. On top of that I found my dream house and we are in the process of getting the pre-qualification letter from my lender for that exact house and then putting in an offer and getting inspections! It is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with a 1/2 acre yard, finished basement. Oh it is amazing! We are looking to close August 2, a few weeks before baby is due so that we can move and get things settled before he comes. Everything is looking up. Donovan starts his job tomorrow at a supply place which definitely eases things off me a little bit. I am one that freaks out over everything. Anyways I just wanted to pop in and give you my good news!


    Long time

    I figured I would write a short blog post to let everybody know that I am indeed alive and doing well. This pregnancy however has worn me down beyond anything imaginable! I was never this tired or miserable with Arianna. Her pregnancy and birth was so easy, it was the kind that people got jealous of. Well this one is throwing me for a curve ball. I am breaking out everywhere. I am so tired. I am moody and if you say one word to me that I don’t like, I snap, no matter who it is. My legs are huge and I have no ankles. I grew in the stomach faster than anything, I am the size as I was with Arianna at 25 or so weeks. I feel horrible about my self image. Ugh, hopefully it all turns around because all-in-all I am excited for this baby. We find out April 9th (2 weeks from Tuesday) what we are having. Everything is bought except for clothes if it is a boy. I am hoping for a boy more than anything. I need to go into a bank and talk to someone regarding mortgages because we are starting to talk to a Realtor through email and I am hoping to get things going so we can buy and close on a house for August. Anyways, that is just to sum things up. I am so busy I do not have time to really keep up with this. Hopefully things will get better. I am so stressed also to say the least but that is another blog post in itself. Well I am going to go and get Arianna out of the bath and brush her hair and head to bed, all I do is sleep. Anyways until next time!


    busy bee!

    [EDIT:] New layout! I think I really like this one. My other one was up for quite some time. I love the subtle colors in this. I might change the header because it’s plain. I don’t know. Let me know![/EDIT]

    I figured I would update now while I have a few moments to myself. Things are really hectic and busy right now with Arianna’s fourth birthday coming up and then my birthday next Saturday. I just ordered her presents today from Walmart which consisted of a full-size bed, a mattress for it, bed in a bag set, and a new bike that will fit her because she is so tall. She should be excited because I am lol. I already made my plans for my birthday which consists of starting out with dinner at Edmund’s bar and grill which has yummy food and great adult shakes :smile: . Then we are going to go to a few bars.

    Me and Donovan really haven’t set a specific wedding date and it is frustrating me. We are thinking a Saturday in May 2014. We also need to actually sit down and talk about finances and start saving money. I know how to save money, he doesn’t know how to very well. So we need to sit down when Arianna is sleeping and actually talk about everything. Also he is waiting to hear back to see if he got approved for a car loan so he can get his own car finally because one car in a household that needs two is very hard. Once he gets his own car, I am going to sell my mom my car (her name is already on it) and I am going to lease my own car because I don’t drive a lot and I really don’t want to be tied down to purchasing a specific car, heck I want to switch it up every few years lol. Plus I won’t have to worry about oil changes or repairs out of my pocket. Since I worked today I am taking Wednesday off early to go renew my tabs and look at a few car dealerships to see the monthly fee I am looking at. I really don’t want to go over $200 a month and I want $0 down. So we will see.

    That is pretty much all that has really been going on, boring I know lol. I don’t have any pictures to show you guys today because I haven’t had time to take any. I am hoping tomorrow is nice outside so we can go swimming for a little bit and I can tan my backside lol. Since I burnt the whole front side I need to even out haha. I promise I will try to update more often especially since I am taking fall semester off from school. I need to definitely start blog hopping and commenting on people’s blogs when I visit so I can increase my traffic and readers. This is all I have for now, sorry it is all over lol.


    oh shucks!

    I figured I would update while I am motivated and wide awake lol. I actually found a USB for a nikon camera on ebay for $2.66 and free shipping, yeah, I broke the bank with that major purchase, LOL not. AND IT WORKS! So I can now charge my camera and use my camera! That made me so happy. So today after work I took pictures of the new house and here they are lol. Now I am by no means a photography person, yet, lol. I took this super quick and didn’t really care, it just captures the house, or for the most part. I actually am charging my one battery now, I am getting ready to swap them out so I can charge the other battery. It is actually almost midnight and I should be getting to sleep since I do work 10-2PM tomorrow and I enjoy my beauty sleep. Bay bought a new PS3 since ours had to be trashed (oh joy!) lol. I can see sleepless nights ahead haha. Well all the photos are uploaded so I am going to post them and go lay down. Expect a post maybe Sunday after a friend of mine’s baby boy’s birthday party. ps: do not mind my babies hair, it’s a mess and I need to do it lol.
