Exciting Things Happening

I haven't really shared much about our house plans lately for many reasons.  It seemed like every time we made plans to moved and talked about those plans, they always fell through.  We had many different options in the house department and nothing seemed to be working out.

So when this option came about, we kept it to ourselves.  We didn't even share the information with family until we were somewhat sure of what was going to happen.  We were trying not to get our hopes up in case this fell through too.

No falling through this time.  We are moving!!! 

Currently, we live in a very small home that has maybe 1000 square feet of living space.  We only have two bedrooms so our little guy bunks with us.  We outgrew our house a long time ago and we are so excited to be moving.  We don't even have enough furniture to fill our new house be we don't care.  We are just so excited.

The house in only about 20 minutes from where we live now so it's still pretty close to my family which is exactly what I wanted.  I think the thing I'm most excited about is having a play room.  No more toys spilled all over the house because there will be one dedicated play room. 

I'm feeling a little sentimental about our current home because we've been here a long time and we've had a lot of good things happen here.  This is where all of our puppies came home to for the first time.  This is where our kids came home for the first time.  We've had a lot of friends in this house, a lot of parties and a lot of fun.  It's been an awesome house but it's time to move.

So here is our new house...


Oh and we move this weekend. 

It all kind of happened quickly.  We were waiting and waiting and waiting and them BAM!  Time to move.  It's ok because it's exactly what we need right now.  We'll be spending this Saturday painting and cleaning the house and then we move in.  Just like that.  More pictures and updates to come!

On a sad note, we might also finally be trading in the Beamer for a mini van.  Let me tell you how sad this makes me.  I love my Beamer.  LOVE.  It's the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven.  It just doesn't have enough space.  I mean, we have to take pieces of our double stroller off in order to fit it into the back.

So, we are going to look at a dreaded mini van.  I always said I would NEVER drive a mini van but this is what is has come to.  My husband wants a Honda Odyssey so that's what we are going to look at.  If all goes well, we'll be driving away with it.

So not cool.  But don't think it's all for nothing. 

This mini van?  Yea it ensures a third child.  Oh yea.  I told my husband the only way we could get a mini van was if we had a third kid.  He said if I wanted a third kid, we had to get a mini van.  Even trade.  No I'm not pregnant and I don't know when the next child will come but when he or she does, we will be prepared!

  1. I have just love watching your little family grow on here. And do not fear the minivan- we have a toyota sienna and it is the perfect family car. It did however take me a long time to accept that I was in my twenties and driving a mini but the conveniences are well worth the "cool factor" trade off. It has automatic doors and dvd player for the girls. Plus with three in carseats aside from a giant SUV we didn't have much choice. Best wishes on your move and hope your new home is filled with many more wonderful memories!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
