What a busy two months!!!


Man it is amazing how two months have gone by and I have been way too busy to post anything.
May 10-23
Went to California to help my mom watch my two nephews while their parents went to Italy. Taking care of 5 boys under the age of five was quite an experience. The boys had a ton of fun and we did lots of fun things while Paul came for a few days. We went on a boat ride out on the ocean, went to the zoo, went to the children's museum, and we also spent an afternoon at the beach.
May 24-June 18
We got home and got straight to packing up the house and get ready to move. And of course everything could go as planned and 8 days before we were to close a problem came up with the appraisal on the house that we were buying and we were not sure that we were going to have a place to live. Luckily everything worked out and we even go the house a little bit cheaper than we had planned on which is always a plus.
June 18
We closed on the sale of our house and the purchase of our new house.
June 18-22
We moved out of our old house and then we were homeless for a few days. Thankfully we were able to crash at my parent's and leave all our belonging in the moving van over the weekend and go the keys to our new house Sunday night. So we rushed over to the house and cleaned carpets so that they would be dry and we could move in the next morning.
June 22-July 2
UNPACKING UNPACKING UNPACKING oh and I helped my mom throw a baby shower amongst the unpacking.
July 3
We went up to my parent's house and had a mini family reunion BBQ and then watched the fireworks. I love that my parent's live so close that we don't have to fight the crowds.
July 4-5
We went over to Paul's parents for a BBQ and then a home firework show which always is interesting to see what stupid things the guys are going to try this year. We got home from watching the fireworks and I decided to take a bath and just didn't feel very well. Then at three in the morning I decided that I was in labor and we called my mom and dad and they came down to stay with the other kids and Paul and I went to the hospital and at 7:08 that morning Parker was born.
