we did it!!

There are at least two things that come to mind and they are big for us. Let me just pick one to start with...

1. We finally put some money down to hold a 1 acre lot in Aledo! C made it out alive and never passed out. I was so proud of him. We feel like we are getting a really good deal based on all the looking we have done within the past 2 years. Let me clarify that we have not purchased the lot yet. To get the screamin deal, we have to close by June 30th. Which means we have some work to do on our own. Our dream home that we had plans made on back when I was pregnant with A is way too big. The first time Andy, the architect, drew them up the house was over 4,000 sq. ft. Insane! We made several cut backs and were able to get it down around 3600 sq. ft. Now, with the high cost of materials and just because we still don't need a house that big we want to slim it down a bit more. We've got to get that done and the plans final so C can bid it out and close on the lot by June 30th. We'll see if we make it. I'm thinking that we will. We are ready to be out of our ever expanding area around us.

2. We FINALLY decided on a top boy and girl name! It only took us 39 weeks and 2 days to do it, but we did. For those of you that have asked, you know how indecisive we have been. Anything I like, he doesn't and vice versa. Today, C just made an executive decision and I fired myself from name picking. Although, I came up with the girl's middle name to settle it once and for all. And since we've waited this long, I don't think I will share them just yet. With us, we could still change our minds. We've changed them way too many times already, but I think these 2 are it. Stay tuned to see what happens.
