We are 5 weeks along, and our Due date is August 16, 2012

Early Christmas

We are having an early Christmas this year.  Tomorrow we are going down to Simi Valley to visit with Adam's family.  I'm looking forward to seeing my neices and hanging out with everyone. 

We are going to be taking our xmas photo this weekend - I know its super late.  I'll be sending our card out by email and by mail. 

First Baby Ultrasound!

I went to the doctors today, to get my first ultrasound of our growing baby.  The doctor isn't sure what week I'm at yet, because its too small to tell.  I'm going back on the 30th to get another ultrasound, see the baby, hear the heartbeat, and get the due date.

He/She is just a little peanut right now, but is growing fast, and letting me know that he/she is there.  

Holidays are here!

I love the holidays.  We decided not to have a tree this year, because our house is so new, and I frankly didn't want to have to deal with the pine needles all over my new floors!  So I did this instead!

We've got news!!!!!!

Thats right, we have BIG news!  We are pregnant!!!!!!

I will be updating this blog a lot more frequently with updates and pictures.

We are so excited!!!!!

Oh September...

My month is really filling up for September.  This weekend we were in Simi Valley, visiting with Adam's parents and brothers.  We stopped by and had dinner with Pam's mother, who is very ill.  It was good to see her and the rest of the family that was in town from Nevada and Texas.  Adam and I always enjoy having hour long discussions with Steve (Adam's brother) about all sorts of topics.  The topic this weekend was evolution.

This week is going to be pretty busy.  I'm helping out with my mom's business, and I want to get everything up and running as soon as possible.  They just moved offices too, we got them moved on Friday.  The new office is so nice!  Tons of room, but not too much.

Next weekend is Sarah's baby shower, and I can't wait!  I want to make her a gift, hopefully I can get some time to actually do it!

The weekend after next is Cara's Birthday party and Laura's going away party all rolled into one.  So that will be a big night.

Then to end the month is Emily's birthday.  Hopefully we can get some deals somewhere nice for a mini vacation and have a celebration.

I'm also working on my hardcover and online cookbook.  I really want it to be done before Christmas.

So thats the update from here.  Hope everyone is doing well.

Talk later.

Awesome House Warming Gift from my Sister

My amazing sister sent me this soap dispenser for my kitchen as our house warming gift.  You can find it on amazon.com.  It even has a little spot for a scrubby!!!!   Now just need to find cute colored scrubbies.

Garage Project

So we have been brainstorming all the stuff that we want to do to improve our new place.  We took on the project of painting our garage floor with epoxy.  Its a huge project, clearing all the stuff out, then cleaning the floor, letting it dry, cleaning it again, letting it dry and then painting it.  It's so worth it in the end, and now its so easy to keep the garage floor clean.  It is inexpensive, but it does take like a full week.  If we could do it over again, we would do two coats, which is recommended.  Here are the before and after pictures.

Pics of our Condo - We've moved in!!!

Here are some pics of our place with all of our furniture and belongings in place.  Its always going to be a work in progress, but its about 85% done.  :)

Our new Condo!!!!

I never thought that it would be possible to buy a home in Santa Barbara, but it was always my dream.  When we found this listing, from Adam's co worker, Joe I feel in love with this condo.  It was a long process but it was so worth it.  Overall it took about 6 months from start to finish.  We had a great team of people who helped us along the way.  Our realtor, Kevin Goodwin really helped us through the mountains of paperwork and the steps.  Kelly Marsh, our mortgage broker helped us get the best loan.

We are still getting everything settled, arranging everything.  But I still need to decide where the pictures go, and a few last pieces of furniture to get.  Here are some pictures before we moved in.

Sick

Adam and I are both sick, with sore throats and fevers.  So hopefully we will get better soon.

We have been packing up our house, because we are in the process of buying a new home in Santa Barbara!  Its right downtown, so Adam will be able to walk to work, and I will be very close to mine.  Once we have more news, and we are in Escrow, I will post pictures!

Wish us luck and good health.  :)
