Bitter Sweet Moments.

Drum roll please......The bank accepted our offer on the townhouse. Were moving! I have so many emotions going through my head, I don't know where to start. I'm so excited to be moving so I don't have to do this job anymore. The job is getting old but it wasn't all bad. I really need to have a more positive attitude about things. I learned a lot from this job...I'm so much better at talking on the phone and explaining myself to people. I've learned to keep my house pretty clean. I think I've learned a lot of skill from this job that will help me out later in life. I'm sad to move because I have so many GREAT friends that live by me. I wish they could all just move with me. I really love our ward even if I am stuck in the nursery. So many great people. I hope our next ward will be as good. We hope later on in life to rent out the house and make a profit but that's later on in life.
Other bitter sweet moments....I'm not prego and its becoming pretty discouraging. I guess we have been trying for about 7 months and nothing. I shouldn't be surprised because it took two miscarriages and 10 months to get Josie. Maybe it was due to stress. I hope after all this stuff with the house is over we will be able to add to our little family. I really shouldn't complain because I have a kid. I guess I just needed to vent.
Here are some pictures of the house, We hope to close on April 24th but I hope sooner so we can paint and clean the place really good.

The master bedroom, it looks small in this picture but its pretty big and has vaulted ceiling with a fan.

There also is an unfinished basement and two other bedrooms upstairs. It was built in 1997 and is almost 2000 sq feet. Enjoy the pictures.
