On a happier note.. here's a sweet picture of little Joshua!

This was him at one week, he'll already be two weeks tomorrow :)

Discouraged

Our house has been on the market now for 3 weeks, in the past week we have had a lot of activity.. but, most of the feed back comes back the same.. "Nice house, but not for my client." The more people that come by, and say no.. the more I feel like yeah.. I totally understand. I wouldn't buy this house either.. oh, wait. I did buy this house.. why did we do that? ohh yeah, because we were kids and we had no idea what we wanted in a house, and the builder pretty much gave us this house. So here we are.. stuck in a house that one else wants! We don't necessarily need to sell this house, we just want to.. and the more I see other houses that I like, that more anxious I am to get out of here!

I wasn't feeling all that discouraged until another house in the neighborhood popped up for sale a few days ago. It's really nice, and they were selling for dirt cheap! I knew someone would buy that house before ours.. and sure enough, this morning when I checked.. it was pending sale.ugggghhhh... I guess it's good that, that house is out of the way, but that's just another buyer gone.

I was hoping we could sell as is.. but, looks like we might have to make some improvements. First stop, making our walls a neutral color again. We may even have to remove the carpet from the bedrooms... don't know yet. Hopefully, the right folks will come a long and scoop it up before we have to go there.

Joshua!

In a story that mirrored much of my own... my cousin gave birth to her baby boy yesterday via c-section. He weighed 6.15 oz and was 19 3/4 long! Welcome to the world Joshua!

Like they always say..

If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself! ;) I took some new pictures that have now been added to our MLS posting.

On The Market

Well, our house is officially on the market. I'm not all that pleased with the pictures on the website. I don't think they make the house look very good. Oh well, here goes nothing. Fingers crossed!

Today's Project

Everyday I've been doing little things to get the house ready. Sunday, my mom, aunt and I busted butt around here.. and the house is looking great. Now, I'm just getting all the last minute things taken care of. I painted these pictures today to hang on the wall in place of buying more stuff.

The Greatest Show on Earth

Last Friday we went to the circus. Cash and I were super excited about going, Diego was too.. but he knew there would be a lot of walking. That's not really his thing these days. We were so excited that we got there way too early! We wanted to see the animals, mainly the elephants, up close before the show.. and we did. But, there really wasn't much to it. After we left the animal area.. we headed inside.. or so we thought. They wouldn't let us in! We waited in line, in the hot.. hot sun.. that was not fun at all.

the baby elephant was so sweet :)

Pee Wee the longhorn :)

When we got inside, we got to go down on the floor until the show started. The clowns were out, and the guys were walking around on stilts.. it was cool, but we'll skip it next time.

Cash really liked the cotton candy
