.We Got It.

We got our house! Just sorting the last little things, addendums etc. We close at the end of the month.

Here are a few photos of the new digs.

Backyard, oh the plans we have for this baby... next summer...

We are excited for this new chapter in our lives!

.The New.

Well, we have an offer in on a house and are awaiting a reply or counter offer... I feel calm about it, not going to get too excited just yet. We are meant to know by 5pm today or first thing tomorrow.

I turn 30 in a week... eek!

Is it just me or does everyone seem to be pregnant lately? Could be just that baby pang I feel when I should be starting to exercise the thought of have another...hmmm... (when Cade was the same age Ethan is, I had a 4 week old baby...shesh, hard to imagine).

On that note, they all seem to be having boys.

'The' puppy I want arrives in a week, not sure if he can be 'our' puppy though, depends on timing of closing etc if we get our home.

Beagle or Golden? Which would you choose?

The man desperately wants a bow for his birthday, which is only a couple of weeks away and I would love to get it on the sly, but we'll see what I can swing.

Did you know they have a Cabelas in Rapid City? Me either, we went there on the weekend and the man had a bow fix, shooting arrows etc. It was pretty sweet.

I have been growing my hair for about a year I guess it would be now and am oh so tempted to get it cut short again. I hate that. Might just get it colored to suffice.

.Old = Out, New = In.

Kinda random post here...

- Plans are moving along, but my previous post.... ppfft! Waste of splendid time! Plans have totally changed.... I will let you know when we do.

- On another note, we have now lived in the USA for 8 years this week. C.R.A.Z.Y!

- I start a new decade of life in less than 2 weeks. S.C.A.R.Y!

- I have our name down for first call on a puppy, arriving on my birthday... I. WANT. HIM.

- My husband is rocking at working out, he is totally putting my lazy butt to shame.

- I have something weird going on with my knee, think it is a torn ligament or some cyst. Going to the ortho next week to get that sorted I hope.

- I have visitors gallore this month. SUPER excited. My dad and step-mum are here right now and my mum arrives after them.

- My boys are in their new beds, fast asleep. Loving their beds and the little loves in them even more!

- We went to Tie Hack today and I so want to learn to fly fish. (Did I just say that out loud?)

Random, I know. Just life as I know it right now.

.Dreaming.

I am totally crushing on a few things lately. We are in the process of 'THE' house hunt. Two options have come up and we are waiting to see what happens...

but how I would love this little house... today anyway...

I am loving the floor plan. There is full unfinished basement, so room for growth. The price is just not right for us at this point.

The other 2 options we are looking at would allow for a bit more movement and some cosmetic sweat equity which is what we initially really wanted anyway, so we will see what happens.

Option 1 - we will call RC, would allow for me to have my fresh and clean kitchen and some easy to do's to make it lovely. Totally liveable and enjoyable as is, but has an unfinished basement also, so we can dream with that and save for summer projects. It is a ranch style home, one level with basement and I love that for our family at the moment. (hence why I love the plan above)
Here is what I am crushing for RC....

Option 2 - we shall call Sutherland
This is a home that is 20 years old, but very cute. We are going to look at this tomorrow, but from what I can tell, it has a great yard, deck etc but a small kitchen. That and the fact that there is 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs, might be a deal breaker for us. We will know more tomorrow. This is a split level home.
Things I am crushing for Sutherland...

We have plenty of time to decide and will be praying and weighing options all along the way but we are excited for the opportunities and possibilities.

Most of my images are on my pinterest board so feel free to check it out.

.Good Stuff.

My spunk of a nephew Kallan (who kicked the pants off cancer) was on the front page of the local newspaper in my 'old' home town with his gorgeous sister Shay. We are just so proud of him and can't wait for the exciting time they will all have as a family in Disneyland. What a fun time making memories together.

I love you and adore you Kal, Shay, Krinny and Dash!
