First Post of the New Year

Our NYE party was wonderful, and I even made a really sweet banner and hung it up in the living room.  The only part that was at all not wonderful was that one of my friends that was there recently found out she is pregnant and it was tearing my apart inside... I tried to just get over it.  The next day I told Nick that when I get pregnant I promise not to complain(too much) about anything to do with pregnancy.  I will simply be happy that I am pregnant. 

Moving on...

I think this year will be full of good things for my little family.  We have been looking around at houses since we have officially been approved for a mortgage!!!! I was never so excited when I got that news on Christmas Eve.  BEST PRESENT EVER!  Plus hopefully by the end of the year I will be pregnant.  I've been trying to mentally prepare myself for pregnancy with type 1 diabetes. 

So today we went to an open house.  I thought it would be better than it was, but I was so disappointed.  It was a little bungalow in the neighborhood that I luuuurrrrvvvveeeee.  The asking price was right on(!) and I thought it would be AMAZING and cute but instead it was run down and...well...crusty.  I think it was a rental before the current owners bought it.  Sagging floors, peeling paint, falling ceilings and only 1 tiny, gross bathroom.  Boo.  They sure tried though.  They spent a LOT of money on marble countertops for the kitchen, the tiny bathroom and even a slab in the living room on top of a side table...random...  So needless to say it was NOT for us.  We were disappointed, but there's always other houses.  Oh, and the realtor was very uninterested in us and had brought along a small child who was hiding in one of the bedrooms and scared the crap out of us!
There's another bungalow one street over, but I learned from the realtor that it had been under contract and didn't pass inspection due to some problems with the brick on the exterior.  Again, boo.  So the search continues!  Until next time...
