Happenings

I can't find my digital camera cord to upload photos so I am very behind. I am having Costco put them on CD so I can upload them that way. I will get some up eventually. Sorry.

So much has been happening. We went to Page twice and loved that little city on a mesa. The Lake was beautiful and we all got nice tans. Mine is fading quickly - Ryan's stays nice from golfing. Laurelle is a water lover. She had a wonderful time and was a great car traveler. Mom and Dad went to Page as well the second time over the Memorial Day weekend and it was a nice time. We explored the city, ate out and relaxed.

I am in the middle of my first real estate transaction. Some friends of our are buying property for investment and I was helping them. It kept Laurelle and I very busy for a few weeks but I think we are going to close on a property in June sometime. That is a very fast paced profession here is Phoenix right now. You have to be quick on your feet. We all found the process very tiresome. Now is a crazy time to be buying property.

The property we bought for remodeling closed in May and we have begun renovations. It needs everything. Mom has designed a new kitchen for it and we have picked out tubs, tile, vanities, toilets, faucets, doors. We haven't decided on paint yet but we will have to at some point. We settled on a place to buy garage doors but haven't ordered them yet. This house is literally a skeleton with everything torn out. I need to get over there and take some pictures of before so we can show you our progress along the way.

We are looking forward to the Goodman reunion in July and Andrew's wedding. Some of my dad's family is coming as well. My baby shower is going to be July 21st. FUN! I can't wait for all of the excitement. The doctor appointments continue to go well. I have 8 pounds to gain and be the same weight I was when I had Laurelle. I am due Aug. 9th. I have begun my 2 week visits (first 2 week next Wed.) and after two of these will go to the once a week visits. It makes me feel very close when I have to see the doctor so often. We bought a new Convertible crib for Laurelle. We have yet to put it up because we have much rearranging to do (from room to room). I chose a surf pattern theme for Noah's room. I got the quilt and sheet set from Pottery Barn and it is adorable. I am going to the craft store hopefully today to pick up some items for the walls (also ideas I am copying from Pottery Barn for a fraction of the price).
