catching up!
Gah-lee! I have been MIA for a while now. So this post will just be random ramblings as to where I've been, what I've been doing, and the likes!
As you know, we've had our house up for sale for about two weeks (i think!). So far we have had about three or for people come and look at it! But no nibbles yet. Today we had an agent open house where other real estate agents came to preview the houses and give us feedback. It was all good, too!!
One great thing about having the house up for sale is the lack of clutter and how clean I have been keeping it! I mean it has always been clean, but since people can come in at anytime, I have been leaving it SPOTLESS!! (it looks really good, but it can be stressful!)
Heath turned 8 months on the 13th of January. He is getting so big and is doing so much! His top two front teeth have jsut come in, and He LOVES table food. I mean this boy can eat! He likes: cheese, baked beans, black beans, saltines, grilled cheese, okra, stewed carrots, lasagna, baked potato or mashed, cheese dip, eggs, grits, cereal, and many other things that I just cant think of right now.
Heath is also starting to "talk" a lot more! Right now, his favorite thing to say is "guh" for dog and he has also been saying mama a lot!!!!! He will also look up to the ceiling if you ask him where the light is! And when he looks out the window, he will start saying "guh" "guh" for dog. He still loves the tunnels at gymboree and likes to play with his toys, especially the table the he can pull up on and play music! He also goes to his first birthday party on Saturday!
I am starting to show!!!! My little baby bump is becoming quite visible, and it is about time to bust out the maternity jeans!! (lately i have been using the rubber band trick or wearing yoga pants)
I go back to the DR. on the 27th for my 16 week checkup! I don't think we will find out the sex until I am 20 weeks, which seems like forever away! (With Heath, I think i found out he was a boy at around 14 weeks!!)
Ryan has started "flipping" a new house right across the street from us. It (thankfully) did not need as much work as the other flip house, but it still needs some definite TLC. I did not take before pictures yet (oops!!) but will soon.. too bad he's already started priming the walls.
My little sister turned 21 on January 16th and we went out and celebrated that major milestone! Today, she and 3 of her girlfriends flew out to Las Vegas to celebrate!! Hope they are safe and have a blast!!
Whew! ok so i think that yall are all caught up now!! Hope yall have a great weekend!!!

Our home, but for how much longer??!
This is our home. I am not sure how much longer I will be calling it that. We put it on the market this week in hopes of selling it so that we can move into a larger home. It is kind of bittersweet because I love this place, yet we need a larger house. I know that we can make any house a home, and we have put a lot of time, sweat, and effort into this one. Hopefully, someone will come along and scoop this baby up soon so we can move on! Until then, this is my home tour!
Our house from the front yard. Our front door is on the left side. This is where i have a big planter in between two adirondack chairs with cute outdoor pillows!!
This is our front room. I pay the bills here at my desk and we usually have the jogging stroller stored in here!
This is a shot of our den/living room. 
And another shot! This is where I put the curtains I bought and where Ryan installed the fan. We also just recently purchased a new coffee table that has lots of storage in it!
This is a view of our "dining nook" because thats really all it is.
And on to the kitchen. We redid our kitchen and extended the countertop and cabinets to underneath the window. Before we had hardly and counter space. And the countertops were tile. I thought it was gross. But we replaced the countertop, the sink, the faucet, and installed a dishwasher!!!!!! I love love love my kitchen now! Oh, and PS. My counters are never clear like this . There is always a knife set, bread thing, and baby bottle stuff!
Another shot of the kitchen
And this is our bedroom. Notice the yellow dresser i redid?

And this is our bedroom. Notice the yellow dresser i redid? Our hallway that leads into the bathroom, our room, and Heath's room
Our bathroom
And another shot!
This is Heath's room. Before I came along, this was Ryan's junk room
Now see how cute it is? All it needed was a woman's touch. And speaking of woman's touch. I painted the entire house. With a little help from my mom. And by entire house I mean every. single. room.
Our back patio that we did. Ryan poured the cement for the pad, built the railings, gate, and i planted flowers around the cement. You cant see these flowers now bc we have dogs that like to sit on them!
And last but not least, our storage shed in the back yard. There are two rooms, one being Ryans workshop, and the other being storage. There is running water and electricity in this shed. Ryan also did the landscaping going to the shed.
And if you look closely, you can see our dog Roxy underneath the shutter on the left!!
Hope yall enjoyed my home tour. Cross your fingers that it sells!! We have picked out another house and are writing our offer on it in about an HOUR!!!!
