Monday Daybook for January 18, 2010

I am going to start following The Simple Woman's Daybook. I just love this idea. I've seen it before on a few blogs that I follow and thought I would join in.

Outside my window...it's dark and pouring rain, temperature of 57 degrees.

I am thinking...that I'm really tired from being up at 5am today and will soon be heading to bed. I hope.

I am thankful...for my two little ones. Love them to pieces.

I am wearing...the usual; jeans, t-shirt,my fuzzy slippers.

I am remembering...how much I hate packing and moving.

I am going...to scrapbook this weekend if not before, at least before I pack all my scrap stuff. I mean it!

I am currently reading... Nothing, no time with the baby, toddler, and packing. I do have some magazines (People, Scrapbook Etc., and Redbook) that I glance over, before falling asleep.

I am hoping...that we move to Texas soon. I hate not having George around all week.

On my mind...excited and nervous about our move out to Texas and the home purchase.

Noticing that...I've been skipping way to many meals. Really need to at least eat one good meal a day.

Pondering...what I want to do with my scrap room that I will have in Texas. Need to search for a desk and shelves for all my stuff.

From the kitchen...Picadillo with white rice. Brianas favorite meal.

Around the house... Lots of toys on the family room floor and table.

One of my favorite things...my fuzzy slippers. They're so warm!

From my picture journal...is at the top because I think pictures look better at the beginning of the blog. ....this is how my living room looks like right now. Toys....Toys...Toys.

Thanks for stopping by. {{HUGS}}

Argh!!!

Yesterday, they did the home inspection on the house and today we received said report. Well, it did not go well. The house has all kinds of problems and the owner is not going to fix any of them, he had changed the contract to say we are to buy the house as is. Good thing we have 10 days to back out of the deal. The bad part is that we have to start over and search for the right house and of course we are out of the $450.00 for the home inspection and another $100.00 the goes to the freaking owner for us backing out of the contract, gotta love this Texas law. Wonder if he knew about the issues this house had. Argh, this is so frustrating and so stressful. I want all of us to be together again and this is just pushing things back.

George is going to search this week-end for another house, so hopefully he finds something we both will like. So please pray for us. I am so stressed about all of this, its just taking a lot of me right now. I don't sleep or eat well and dealing with the baby and a 4 year old by myself is not helping much either.

Praying this week-end will be a good one.

Finally!

Well, things are finally going in motion. We are in escrow for our new house in Texas. After going back and forth with the Sellers, they finally agreed to pay the fees that THEY are suppose to pay and not us. They were not aware of some of the fees and wanted us to pay for all of it. Um mm...NO!

If all goes well and please pray that it does, we close escrow at the end of the month. So, me and the kids will finally be in Texas the first or second week of February. George wants to paint some of the rooms, before we get there and some other little maintenance that he feels it needs to be done before we arrive.

Here is a picture of the house. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bath and is over 3300 sq ft. Very large backyard, which I love.

Now to start the purging and packing, the ugly part of moving. Wish us luck. 01/12/2010

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!

We have had some not so good stuff happen in 2009,
but we also have had some wonderful stuff happen in 2009.
So I can not complain. I know God has blessed us and we are very lucky.

2010 is going to be full of new beginnings and changes in our lives. I am going to hope and pray that it's going to be an amazing and beautiful 2010!

Our Happenings

Wow, been so busy with the Holidays, the baby and Briana, my days and nights just go flying. So far everything is good. We had a great and fun Christmas with Briana, so love the innocence. She was so excited when she saw all of her presents, but more excited to see the one thing she had asked Santa for, a pink video game. When I heard this, I freaked out, cause she never mentioned a video game before and it was 4 days before Christmas. I had George and my nephew go looking for her pink video game, my nephew the game console geek knew what she was asking, it was the DS Lite. George had to go to like 3 different stores to find the pink DS.

Now that the holidays are over, we are going into the next stage of our lives. The packing officially starts in the beginning of the year. I already started purging lots of things and still need more. The less we take the better, some things are just not worth dragging all over. We are waiting for an answer on the counter offer we did on a house in Texas. I hope it goes through, cause I am getting antsy and its getting down to the wire for us to find a place and close escrow. So wish us luck that they accept the offer and we can close before the end of January.

Update of my little man, he is doing awesome he has gain a lot of weight and keeps me busy, he is very alert for only a few weeks old. There are times he will eat 4-5 ounces of milk and will not go back to sleep, not a big deal during the day, but when its 2am, you need to go back to sleep my little boy. LOL!!

I think that is all for now, just a quick update on our happenings. Hope all is well with everyone.

Thanks for stopping by. {{HUGS}}

A Beautiful Surprise!!!

Christopher decided to make an earlier than expected appearance last week.
Instead of waiting for his scheduled c-section on December 11th, he arrived on Thursday, December 3rd at 5:21 am. Christopher James Heredia weighed 6lbs. 3 1/2 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. We are all in love with this little guy.

His first picture.....only a few minutes born.....Awww.
