Hello Baby!

I seem to be saying that a lot lately.

HELLO BABY!

It's because we are having a baby!!!!

A baby BOY actually!

We're beyond excited for him to get here.

Although, I'm going to miss the sweet little nudges and kicks I get all day long.

(sometimes I feel like there's an earthquake in my belly)

I finally feel good.

I stopped getting sick at 26 weeks.

I can finally enjoy my baby.

I am 29 weeks and in my 3rd Trimester!

September will be here before we know it!

So crazy! So fun! So exciting! SO NERVE RACKING!

I feel like I don't have enough time anymore to get everything that I want to get done, done!

It's so fun to prepare for our little man!

I'll keep this updated. 

I'm really terrible at pictures. 

But hopefully I'll get better now that I have something constantly amazing to blog about!

Welcome Home!!!!!

2012 Brought us lots to celebrate!

The first being our new house!!!! 

 We absolutely LOVE IT!

Justin and I closed on our first house on February 14th (Happy Valentines Day to us!)

We loved it from the very first time we saw it.

It's located in a very quiet neighborhood in Lincoln, and it has a back yard!

None of this hallway backyard stuff, like a for real back yard. 

2 Cherry Trees

1 Plum Tree

1 Grapefruit Tree

1 Fig Tree (anyone like figs?)

1 Apple Tree,

1 Peach Tree

1 Nectarine Tree

1 Grapefruit Tree

and 

1 Tree that we don't know what it does yet
AND GRASS! 

Oh! and Pumpkins! and Artichokes, and Strawberries!

It's like Christmas every day!

We might have our hands full with the upkeep. 

Justin's been on it though. 

Before we moved in we ripped out carpet, baseboards, and linoleum downstairs, painted it a lovely shade of Creamy Mushroom, and painted the ceiling and new 5" baseboards white.

We then had Home Depot install new carpet.

My dad installed beautiful Wood Laminate flooring.

Put in new appliances (fridge, washer, dryer)

And we were in!

Closed in February, and were in by mid April.

We've just loved living there!

We've had a few mishaps (ceiling leaking from master shower, and sprinklers breaking), 

but it's been SO GREAT to have our own home. 

It's a perfect place to call ours and start a family! 

Blog... what?!

Sooo...
I'm a slacker blogger.
I shouldn't be.
I only work 4 hours a day,
and soooo many exciting things happened this year!
I don't even know where to begin!

I guess this blog will briefly be about my goal of 30 books in one year.

Well guess what!?
I READ 80 BOOKS LAST YEAR!
Yep! I'm pretty dang proud of myself. 

I mean, I did go from 10 hour work days the first half of the year, down to 2-4 hours a day the second half of the year. But whatever. I still exceeded my goal!

I'm seriously slacking this year.

I'm going to post a couple more things in a couple more posts. Seriously, I didn't think our 2012 could get better than 2011!
