Long Time, No Post!

So, we're all moved and have a house. We've had a few pretty long days trying to unpack and get the house set up, but its all coming together. Brandon went back to work this past Friday after 2 weeks of him being off.. I was definitely bummed about that. It kind of made it all reality for me that yep, we're here, get used to it! I'm not working right now so I'm getting pretty bored at home. On one hand, I'm enjoying the time off, but I'd also like to get out of the house a little. So I guess a part time job would be good for me! It's been pretty chilly here the past few days and rainy too, so it makes it pretty miserable. On top of that, our heater doesn't work... even after getting it fixed already. So we stay bundled up in our house trying to stay warm. Needless to say with all of the cold in our house and outside, I'm pretty sure I'm getting sick! Yay for me!

I'm really excited about starting buy stuff to decorate our house though. Come next week I should be able to start doing that! WOO-HOO! This is my first house I am going to get to decorate so I am definitely excited. So while Brandon is at work.... I'll be spending some money! Well, I guess that's it for now. I should probably clean up my house a little!

*Sigh* ... I love Brittany!... Not like "that" though!

Moving day is soon approaching and it's hitting me harder and harder each day. Then, I read Britt's blog and it totally made me cry! I'm really going to miss her ... so this blog is dedicated to her! My bestest! I'm really going to miss our lunch dates, our constant emails back and forth ALL day long, hanging out and talking about the most stupid things or the most important things. I know we can always call and talk and that I'll probably be able to email back and forth during the day after I move .... but it just won't be the same! She really is the one person I tell EVERYTHING and even though I'm moving I hope she'll still let me call and keep telling her everything. It's just so crazy how alike we are! We are feeling the same things a lot of the time and don't even know it. I know this blog is probably really bumming everybody out but, it was bound to come sometime! I love you, girl and I hope we stay as close as we are now even though I'll be in Maryland! And.. as soon as baby #2 is on the way, I better be the first to know!!!! :)

Lazy Day

We went to church this morning and then came home for lunch with mom, John, & Josalyn. We had a really good time! It was really nice coming home after church and knowing that we had absolutely nothing to do for the rest of the day! That hardly ever happens... so we went to the BX and spent $500 on a video camera. What a way to spend a day with nothing to do!!

So, I've been getting these headaches and don't know why. For probably the last 5 days straight by like 12 or 1 in the afternoon these headaches start coming on. Not so horrible that they make me sick but just to where they are VERY annoying. It may just be the stress of moving... who knows... all I DO know is that I hate them!

The movers are coming in about 3 1/2 days and I think it's all starting to REALLY coming to reality for me. Which completely sucks!!!!! 2 weeks from today we'll be in Hagerstown. How crazy is that???? It's still kind of hard to believe but kind of not. Does that even make sense? Like, I knew when we got married that it was going to happen eventually but it's like it all happened so fast that it's making it hard to believe. Ok, so, I know I'm just rambling on and it probably doesn't make any sense but it did in my mind :-) So sense its all starting to sound like a bunch of garble, I'll just go for now!!!

YAAY! For the weekend!

This week seemed really long for some reason and I am so glad its the weekend! We are going to Panama City tonight and tomorrow for a conference with Teddy and Lupe and a few other people Brandon goes to Bible study with thru the week. It should be a good time. We went last year it was pretty fun.

So a week from Friday they are packing up the moving truck and starting the process of getting our stuff up to Maryland. It's getting way to close way too soon! Somebody from the moving company came this past week to look at our house and told us that our estimate of 4500 pounds was way off and that we would probably be close to like 7000 pounds. SO needless to say, they are coming Thursday the 24th to pack and then coming back on Friday the 25th to pack the truck! AAAHHH!!! This is all just happening so fast and it doesnt even seem real that in 2 weeks we'll be moving. IT'S ALL JUST SO CRAZY!!!!

One More For Wednesday.... I Have A Lot to Say!

I'm back! Alright, so, our realtor in MD called me this afternoon and told us that the owner of the 2nd house decided that she could except the $1500 rent after all. I feel like I'm playing tug-o-war or something! So I called Brandon to see what he thought and after discussing it together and with some other people we trust, we decided not to take the house. IT just didn't feel right after everything she had put us through. So we are just going to hold of until we get there so we can look around ourselves. At this point I think we are both just tired of getting excited and then let down. I know it's only been 2 houses but they were 2 beautiful homes that we really liked and were going to be getting for a very decent price, but I guess this is a good lesson in trusting that God is going to provide for us and that we just need to be patient. Ok, going to watch American Idol now! I hope Kristy Lee Cook goes home!!!!!!!! oh... OR David Cook!!!!!!!

New Day, New Blessings!

So, obviously yesterday was a pretty crappy day ... until I checked the mail! We have been getting statements in the mail for our Homeowner's Insurance policy saying that we owed them $1882. We thought it was weird because we cancelled that policy back on November 30 when we closed on our house! So we called, they didn't give us any problem and cancelled the policy for us. Well, yesterday, I checked the mail on my way to Wal-Mart and there was a check made out to Brandon and it was from Universal (the insurance company). It was for $626!!! That definitely brightened my day and just confirmed for me again that God is looking out for us and that maybe those 2 houses just weren't the houses that He wanted us to have! I know what you're probably thinking ... "you got all of that from a check?" HAHA yeah, I did because I had already been in that train of thought all day and it reaffirmed that Brandon and I are in God's hands and He WILL take care of us! Ok, I'm done for now but I can't promise that I won't be writing again today sometime!

The Stress of Moving is getting to me BIG TIME!

So, last week we found out that the house we really wanted was available! We were so excited and really felt that God was blessing us with such an amazing home in a great neighborhood. Yesterday, our realtor up there called and said that the landlord decided she wanted to take the house off the market because she was going to move back in. BIG BUMMER!!! So we went searching again! There was a really nice home that Brandon had looked at while he was up there a couple of weeks ago and really like but it was just way too much for us. Well, come to find out, our realtor called and the owner said she would except $1500! Wow... what a blessing, right? Yeah... this one seems to be going down the pooper too because the lady decided she wanted to be greedy and not except the $1500 after all. I am just SO bummed right now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at or blaming God ... I just feel like things are just not going to come together now. I guess everything was just going so well to be true ... I guess I'm just pessimistic about the move, thats all. I really am looking forward to it because I know it will be good for us and our marriage its just the stress of finding somewhere to live is now getting too much for me to handle. I am findind that I am getting very emotional about EVERYTHING!! Alright ... well, I guess I'm done complaining for now. Just had to somehow get this off my chest!
