I don't really have a whole lot to report, life has been pretty simple since the halloween craze calmed down...but I did want to stop by as share a little bit of good news.
We close on our house Dec. 4th!! We decided to buy a house instead of renting, which was our original plan, because the deals are sooo good and renting is getting expensive with our massive family. Our house is older, so a definate fixer upper, but after spending 2 hours at home depot with Dustin looking at all the possibilities we are so excited to get our hands dirty. We'll be installing new carpet, bamboo flooring in the kitchen, new paint everywhere, lots of finish carpentry upgrades and eventually new windows. We will be doing as much eco friendly things we can, so that will include new light bulbs, new faucet fixtures that use 1/2 the water, better insulation, bamboo, recycled products and so forth. Hopefully we'll be able to fund this big adventure but we're too excited!
I do have to mention that I am enjoying watching people vote on my baby poll determining whether it will be a boy or girl. It's hilarious how the majority of people think we're having another girl...I agree, but Dustin and Khaliah would argue. I do not feel pregnant at all yet. It's so weird but I'm not showing, just still getting a little chunk around my belly area and I'm back to feeling 100% so I tend to forget we're even expecting again. I still fit in my 28 jeans and my shirts still look the same...hmmm, maybe false ultrasound...lol. It will be interesting when my belly starts to look big and I see a person on the ultrasound machine. Maybe I'm just not noticing the being pregnant part because I honestly don't even have time to dwell on it.
The girls are doing really well. Khaliah is just excelling in school and loves every minute of it. Taysiah is just being little 'ol sweet, cute Taysiah. She's been learning a lot too while I help work on stuff with Khaliah. And Mahlayah is just blossoming into such a fun little person. I'm having so much fun learning who she is and her personality. She's my little fire ball.
Dustin is doing great at work. He just got a promotion so he thinks he's super cool now. And he is, so that's ok.
I am doing really well. I'm feeling good and I'm already getting ready for christmas...hahaha. I just bought a bunch of outside christmas decorations yesterday and of course Dustin thinks I'm crazy. My birthday is this weekend so I can't wait to get presents :) I really want a sewing machine...my mom said she'll get it for me, so mom when you read this I'm looking forward to recieving that present :)
Well, it looks like this post was really a bunch of blabber, but I hope it gave you some info about whats going on lately!
