Hip Hip Hooray!!

Well, we have a couple of great news bits.

First, I am finally feeling human again!! I still really have to be careful about what I eat, but as long as I don't eat anything with onions or peppers or spicy whatever and I don't eat too much, I'm great! It is so nice to feel like I can function.

Second, (keep your fingers crossed) we should close at the end of this week or the beginning of next on our house!! The pessimist in me is still trying not to get my hopes up because I've heard of sooo many deals falling through at the last minute, but it seems our financing has come through and everything is in place. I'll let you know as soon as it does.

We went out to the house this last weekend to spray blackberries. They are bad. I'm not sure how long the house has been empty, but one of the neighbors has at least been trimming the lawn. Unfortunately, they just blew all the grass up against the house and wherever, so while Brandon was spraying the boys and I went around kicking the grass away from the house and kicking all the matted grass out of the driveway. As we were there, I realized that this was actually going to be our house and suddenly I wished I had a rake and a weedwacker! Oh well, there will be plenty of time for yard cleanup very soon. Maybe this weekend if we haven't closed we can go have a work party out there.

Anyway, we're getting excited and we'll have pictures very soon!

Hello Chapman Family-
I know what you mean on getting a house. We just put in a offer on one and they actually accepted it which was crazy because it was 25,000 less than what they wanted. But like you I am not getting my hopes up until we actually move in! Please do come out and visit we should have plenty of room when we move in next month! I am glad to know that you are feeling better. It freaks me out to even think about getting preg again and going through vertigo from vomiting. I have been sort of following your pattern with pregnancies-so I hope my next isn't as bad as yours has started out! Sooooo sorry! Love you all and miss you.

Yay! You are going to have a house! I am so excited for you guys!! It is a LOT of work, but it is so worth it, and a lot of fun along the way. There is nothing like the feeling of having your own home, a place to call your own - your own backyard, etc. Congratulations, you guys!
