Swap-Bot

Hello to all of my fellow swappers!! :)

I haven't been blogging much lately, but when the move settles down I will most definitely show this blog some more attention. Thanks for stopping in and checking it out while it's a work in progress! :)

Always,
Heather

PS: YES, WE FINALLY GO INTO OUR NEW HOME!!!!!!!!!!! :) Pictures to come very soon!

House!!

Ok...

Originally, DH and I were planning on getting a pre-fab home. Which, is really just a fancy word for a trailer. I'm not saying that a trailer is bad, but we've both lived in a trailer and think that it's just not for us. We also had a horrible time finding land that wasn't surrounded by crappy "pre-fab" homes. So, in early November I found a real estate agent that helped us get approved for a mortgage within 24 hours. We looked during November and found that there are too many homes out there! lol.. In the beginning of December though...

WE FOUND A HOUSE WE LOVE!

Needless to say, we're closing on it by the end of the month (if it doesn't get pushed back again). I've been pretty busy with packing and getting ready for the new house, but hopefully I will have a few spare moments to check in here.

I'll write soon!

Ch-ch-ch-ch.. CHANGES!!

So, much has changed (again) since my last post. We've (hubby and I) have kind of done a complete 360-ish from where we were and where we were heading..

1. School - Going GREAT! We are in Fall Quarter (my 4th and hubby's 2nd) and things are going good. I've lightened my load a bit and I'm only taking 3 classes, but this is still considered full time.

2. House - We've been approved for a mortgage and found and awesome prefab home that we love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're working on finding the right piece of land (boy, this is taking a while!) and should be moved in before Turkey Day, if everything goes well.

3. Baby - Nothing yet and I can't say that we've been trying either. We're both kind of on hold with baby making. We both still definitely want a baby, but we're hoping that once we move into the new place we can get started in multiplying our family. This is on hold - momentarily!!

4. Weightloss - We're going to skip this category, for now, because I'm a slacker and haven't really done anything productive in this area. I will, however, be working on this before, through and after the holidays. Stay tuned!

5. Changes - Firstly, I have a job! I've been working nights delivering the paper. It's a weird job with weird hours, but it's allowed me to continue going to school full-time and help DH with some extra money toward the house. Secondly, I've restructured my goals in school. Instead of finishing my associates degree at the school I'm at, I've decided to transfer early to a local University and go straight into working towards my bachelor's degree. I'm excited about this and I'm waiting to hear back from the college about my admission status. Total, I'll have 2 1/2 years to my bachelors, so yay!! :)

Whoa.. I just got a mad dizzy spell though and that's weird for me.

I'm super tired tonight too, so I'm going to go to bed for now and hopefully update tomorrow. Goodnight all around the blog world!

PS~ Fall....... (MY MOST FAVORITE SEASON) IS IN REACH!!!

Nearly 6 months gone..

Hello Blog World,

I haven't been the devoted blogger I thought I would be. My BFF was mentioning blogs in a conversation a few days ago and I thought, "Hm... I should blog!!" So, here I am! I've been really busy with school lately. I'm finishing up my second quarter of college in about a week and a half. I have been doing great, but I've been super busy! I took (hopefully successfully) 5 classes this quarter!! I'm doubling up and taking the most that I can so that I can graduate next spring. I have another 4 quarters to successfully complete, but I think I'm going to reach my goal! I know I can, I just need to get re-motivated! I've started to get a little burnt out, but I know that comes along with taking 5 classes!

As for the rest of my life... It's going! DH and I have been working on saving up and buying a house.That is slowly coming along... DH is starting college this summer. So, some of our savings is going to be drained for books and all that jazz. We haven't started working on having a baby yet, and I know we'll probably push off our TTC date to later down the road. Our original date was July 1st, but that seems so soon! With DH starting school, myself going full time, saving to buy a house and everything else life throws in the mix, I think we're a little overspent right now. I wouldn't be upset if it happened out of the blue, but I don't see us "trying" anytime soon. This will give us the time to get into this new schedule we have going and prepare our lives a little better for a baby. Our 1 year anniversary is in September, so I'm thinking that maybe we'll start trying then. DH will have been in school for one quarter and I will only have 3 left.

DH is completely on board for trying now, we would just have to rush moving into a new place before baby comes. I'm kind of on the fence, because I want to do what is right for all of us. Like 70% of me wants to just throw everything to the wind and start trying and see what happens.. the other 30% keeps telling me to wait. I really want to lose some weight before pregnancy, and let's just say.. that hasn't been on the top of my list until recently. I am definitely starting a diet Monday and we'll also be exercising on a daily basis. WE = DH and I. So, maybe when I've shed 30 lbs I'll be more ready for baby.

I want a baby more than I think anyone can understand. I'm just unsure if the timing is right. When will be the right time though? Who knows... I'm a woman. I have the right to change my mind on the next post! lol. Stay tuned for that....

A Quick Hello

Hello!

I haven't had much time to post on the blog lately. I will try to make it more of a priority! I promise! :)

The grass is always greener..

So today I've had a "touch" (more like loads!) of baby fever.

I've found myself lurking the TTC- Your First Child board and wishing that I was TTC my first already! I know, it's only another 6 months and 3 weeks and 6 days (haha), but it seems like forever away. I have been seeing pregnant women all over the place and I can't help but sigh and think, I wish that were me!!

I know that I have a giant list of things that I would like to get done before a baby, and I know there are sooooooo many things that I could be doing that I won't be ABLE to do when we have little ones at home, but I guess as they say, "The grass is always greener on the other side!" I'm sure that when I am pregnant I'm going to be ticked that I can't have a cocktail when we go out to dinner, or that when we have a couple of small ones I will sell my soul for a dinner date out away from the kids, but I really just wish I were there already.

Good things come to those who wait, I know. But today I have found the waiting to be a little tough. And by the way.. what's up with all my little sangs in this post? lol.. Greener grass and good things.. Wow! I make myself sick with how positive I try to be sometimes.

Maybe I just need to be a little sad about the waiting today.. Be sad Heather! :) Ok.. Not working.

Newlywed Fights

OK, I know.. That was mean!! But at the time I had just gotten into an argument with DH and I was sooooooooo angry. I was fuming!!! And I remember stomping off and coming over here and typing that little snippet and then storming into the bedroom and thinking "heh.. I'm gonna blog ALL about this tomorrow"

And now..

I can't remember what the silly little newlywed fight was about!!! lol..
