New House

My husband and I closed on a house here in Washington!  We got keys on Friday and moved in on Sunday.  It was sort of a chaotic move, but all in all successful.  We are still doing some cleaning up and packing of misc items at the apartment, but we will be done by tomorrow afternoon.  Here is an image of the new home:

If you'd like to follow the progress on us unpacking, settling in, etc.  you can do so on my other blog here.

We're Having a Baby

Yes, the title is correct!  We our expecting our first bundle of joy in February! I am 14 weeks 1 day along today, and all is going well!  The first trimester was rough, but it could have been worse.  Most of my posts related to pregnancy will be on my Home and Body blog located here!  Feel free to follow.  :)

Seafair and Deception Pass

This month has been full of recreation: game nights, hiking, a new book club, and the Seafair.

The Seafair was basically a big air and water show with lots of people and lots of booths selling stuff.  I didn't manage to get any photos of the planes but here is an image from the hydroplane race.

Last Saturday we went to Deception Pass, and like most places around here, it was beautiful!


July 2012

I really really keep wanting to get back to blogging more often (at least once a week), but if I'm not going to do that, I may as well update when I do think of it.  I last updated about June; I will now summarize July 2012.

We spent the 4th of July here in WA.  It was cold.  That's my first recollection, haha.  We did have fun though.  We had a friend invite us over for an all day affair complete with day time fireworks, a cookout, and an incredible evening firework show.

On the 5th we headed to NM!  We spent the weekend in Albuquerque for a family reunion.  Then Carlos went back to WA and I headed down the state to spend over a week with my parents and sister.  My brother also drove down to visit.  We did a lot of things:  cookouts, camping, bingo, played wii, etc.  I got to see my parents' and sister's new houses.  It was a very nice visit.

Carlos and I at the reunion at the zoo.


 On our way to NM we got some great news.  The offer we made on a house was accepted!  So since I've gotten back to WA we have been working through the process of purchasing the house.  We've fit in some fun times as well such as volleyball at the beach!
