So busy, so busy, so busy!

Sorry for not posting much lately, we have been extremely busy getting ready to move. We close on our new house this Friday (woo, hoo!) and we are trying to get our house ready to put on the market soon. This past weekend Matt took the girls to his parents house so that I could get some painting done. I don't mind painting, but I HATE painting ceilings! A few months ago, we had to replace our air conditioner, and when they did, the new pan leaked, and it put water spots on the ceiling from the dinning room to the kitchen, so I bought some ceiling paint hoping that I could just cover up the spots, but the paint did not match, so I had to do the entire ceiling in both rooms, ARGH! Plus I had to paint the ceiling in our bathroom. Friday night I painted a lot of the trim in side, still needs some, but can't do till we move furniture, then painted the crown molding in our bedroom (we put it up almost a year ago, and had not painted it yet)
I spent the whole day Saturday out in the front of the house painting the trim, front door, and the shutters, then Sunday the (@#!^%*&+) ceilings.
Today, I started on the back porch, we had it covered shortly after we moved here 4 years ago, and had not finished it due to the fact that when it rains, it leaks where the new roof was added on near the chimney. so anyway, I climb up there (yes, on the roof!) to see if I can tell why, no, but I noticed now that part of the siding is rotted on the chimney, just great, I'm starting to worry that we will never sell this house!
Any way, needless to say, I have been busy , and sorry but probably will not have time to post much lately, but I will be keeping up with everyone soon!!!

Wow, so much going on!

Well, well, well, boy do we have a lot of new stuff going on right now!
First of all, we have debated over the last several months about moving to a new house. For one thing, I did not want to yet, simply because of the fact that I will have to update some paperwork, but at least it will make me feel like I am doing SOMETHING during this very long wait! The main reason that we would, is because Lily will be starting school next year, so we wanted to be in a good school zone before hand, and with the wait being what it is, we may not make the trip till after then, so we have decided to go ahead and start looking. We went out a few weeks ago and looked at about 10 houses, and would'nt ya know, I liked the first one the best! We really wanted a home with a basement, but did not see many we liked. We have signed a contract on the first one, and should be closing on the 29th. We are not going to put our house on the market until we are moved, so we can fix a couple of things, and mainly so I can dig up and move a lot of my flowers and rose bushes to the new place. Our new house will have six bedrooms, and an office, so I will be able to have a seperate play room instead of my dining room being full of toys!!! And we will have a private retreat for guests at the opposite end of the house from the others, Most excitedly, I will be able to paint and fix up a nursery for our little girl, and yes, it will have a ladybug theme! I just can't wait till I can post pictures of it. I have already ordered a few things, and will make alot of the bedding, and window coverings from some REALLY cute fabric I found.
What else, well, we are getting a new car! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my 2004 Sienna, but my sister in law needs a van, she has twin boys who are 20 months old, and she is pregnant with (OMG) ANOTHER SET OF TWINS!!! And NO she has never taken any kind of fertility drugs! So, we are selling ours to them really cheap, and buying us a new car, what kind?, a 2006 Sienna! Like I said I love my car, and I would have kept it, only she needs one too!
So, as you see, we are gonna be very busy in the next couple of weeks/months, but hey, what else should we do but wait? Might as well stay busy!

Gift from a fellow blogger/friend!

Well look what fellow blogger Melissa from Awaiting Ava sent me, isn't that cute? I just hope it ends up being true, and not that they have to put me away some where! She sent this shirt out to several others and the only thing in return she asked, was to put it on, take a picture, and post it on our blogs. So here's mine my friend, and THANKS!

Also, I want to ask for everyone to keep her and her family in your thoughts, as they are going through a trying time right now! I hope everything works out, and take care!
