Irony?

This is crazy...at least to me! I think that Jonathan and I have decided to investigate refinancing and if we can get a good rate, with a good outcome we would decide not to sell. I am really ready to have a peace about where we will be when Emrick gets here, and although we can afford a new place, we might be happier financially staying put a little bit longer. Okay, so we decide that (for the most part) we aren't selling. Since this decision, we have shown the house twice in three days. WHAT??? And, since Jonathan painted, three times. We have doubled the number of times we have shown it in like 3 weeks time. I am not sure what this means for us, but it sure is ironic. The only thing that would be crazier is if we actually got an offer. I do have pictures of the newly painted nursery should we stay and a funny story about that, but it will have to wait.

Not too much important, but lots of rambles!

1. Snow!
I've tried to resist the urge of joining all my friends with the snow post, but with lack of other things to post...I'm posting about snow! March 1 it snowed a good snow, and some parts of Greenville got 4 or 5 inches. It was very pretty, and we had fun watching it fall, and playing around in it. School was called off for 2 and 1/2 days...which was good in some ways, terrible in others.



2. Yes! The house is still for sale.
We have shown the house a total of 3 times since December 19. I try to remain hopeful because I would love to have just a little more space for little Emrick to live and play. But as I get "pregnanter," I almost start to hope that it doesn't sell. I am so ready to get his room ready, just because! I know, I know, I have plenty of time, but I am just so excited. Therefore, Jonathan and I (well, Jonathan really) have started this....


yep...painting the nursery. Before we started, the room was a tanish color with a cute little chair rail. We are painting it a real light tan color on top, but we are leaving the bottom the darker color. We figured even if the house shows, it will be a color that shows well. It gives me a little peace of mind that I can pretend that we are painting it for Emrick.

3. I LOVE MY MOM!!!
I am so excited, my mom is coming to visit this weekend. She flies in on Saturday. And since she's coming, Jonathan's parents are going to come spend the day on Sunday. Our moms' birthdays are both next weekend, so I am really excited that they will both be here, and we will all get some hang out time together. Mom has also offered to help do some of the painting...Jonathan doesn't feel like she should spend her time here painting, so we'll see!!! One added bonus, mom will get to go to my doctor's appointment on Monday. I'm excited that she will get to do this so she will feel more apart since she's far away most of the time.

4. My Friend Steph

She is doing a drawing on her blog about baby items you can't live without...so, all you moms out there, leave her a comment and be entered for a drawing...see her blog for more details! **PS - If you aren't a mom still check out her blog...I'm planning on asking her to make something for Emrick! Her stuff is really cute!
