Everytime I sit and think about the house that we might have gotten (In Cas) I am so thankful it did not work out.
We found a new house! The homeowner accepted our offer and if the rest of the process goes well we'll be so excited that we could possibly be getting a home this time. This house is so much better. I just can't stop thinking about it so I'm really hoping that this is the house we're suppose to have.
Josh turned 27 the 20th - he says he's old- He's still my Hot Joshie though! hehe. I surprised him and bought him a Guitar Hero III for his Wii. He also got money from family and he's hoping to use it to buy a grill for our furture someday new house. He also thinks he should get a English Bulldog (his fav dog) if we get this house. That would have to wait a couple of years. =)
Abby loved her Birthdays. She got a Dora bike from Aunt Sissy, Money, lots of cloths, a bubble machine, sticker books, bracelets, headbands, and a wagon -she loved it all. She got sick the day of her birthday (the 17th) .. but she still enjoyed her parties. She is doing extremely well going to the potty. All day yesterday she went potty and didn't even have a dirty pull up during her nap. She had a couple wet diapers later at night - but one time she was outside playing - she ran to the potty.. and I think she had JUST peed right before she got to the potty. So she's doing so great. It won't be too much longer and she'll have it down. She still amazes me everyday!
When Jas starts doing the same things Abby did I can't believe how quickly I forgot the different stages. She's growing so fast - I can't wait to see her grow and she how she acts when she turns 2 like Abby.. but at the same time I don't want her to get older yet!! =) She's rolling over alot now. She grabs for everything and loves playing with toys. I've thankfully had breastmilk stored and have had extra always for her. I've noticed recently that I haven't had as much extra ..as much extra as before. Abby was 11 months when she was done breastfeeding so I'm hoping to go as long with Jas if not longer. She also just recently doesn't mind a pacifier (occasionally). Abby stopped using her pacifiers at 22 months.
I guess there isn't anything new going on with me. Just same old stuff. Working, wanting to be home with my girls, needing to loose weight, need more ambition to excercise, etc etc etc.
I'll post more updates when I can.

I Want To Rake Again
So last weekend Joshie and I were able to Rake our "Hopefully Home" - it felt so awesome to pull into the driveway like we were just getting home - and then raking / cleaning up the yard I've never had to do that before so it just felt great.
We're having a professional inspection done on the house on Monday to just make sure they're aren't any major issues that need to be dealt with. I feel pretty confident that everything will be fine - but we just want this house so badly - I'm hoping it goes well. If there is something that would take too much money to fix we have 30 days to decline the purchase agreement.
My sister is selling her house - so if you know of anyone looking for a home let me know. Also any prayers for her would be appreciated right now. She means the world to me and even though I can't go into details I just want her to be happy.
Our pumpkin is already going to be 2 TOMORROW! She's doing so wonderful.
Jas held her bottle all by herself yesterday for a while - she's also starting to sit up on her own for little bit. (She's 5 months)
My mom, sister, and I are going to take the girls to get there pictures taken Friday. I'm anxious for that.
Josh will be 27 on Sunday! Only 3 years until he's 30!!
I Saw God Today just came on - online ...I think everytime I hear that song it reminds me I'VE BEEN TO CHURCH, I'VE READ THE BOOK, I KNOW HE'S HERE, BUT I DON'T LOOK AS OFTEN I SHOULD ..yeah I know I SHOULD! When I was little I never really went to Church and didn't pray much. Now that I go to Church more often and pray more often - I still need a lot of work. I wish it was easier for me to pray.
Just a wishy washy blog for today =)
Well I love the weather even though I'm sitting at my desk just wishing I could move it outside.
Can I just leave now and go HOME ... and be outside .. or work on our Home?

Home Is Where The Heart Is
Well I've wanted to post an update for a while and it seems every time I go to write I have something else that needs to be done or that I’d have so much to say who’d want to read it all.
I don't have time to tell you every little detail but here's the major stuff.
Josh and I thought it would be a good idea if we started looking for a house. So we actually looked at 3 houses and found one we like.
The house is in Casnovia and it is for sale by owner. We spoke with the owner and he let us tour the house and he gave us all the details about the house. Since then he's been kind enough to let us look at it several times to get a better look.
The house is a two bedroom house - the girls would share a bedroom but the layout works out and they'd have enough space. There are one and 1/2 baths, a huge living room, a four season indoor porch, a two stall garage, and includes a shed and pole barn.
The selling price is lower than the assessed value so we spoke with a financial person and we were approved for the amount we'd like to offer.
We're so excited that we'd be approved to purchase this house. We're hoping now that the rest of the buying process will go well so that we can finally be homeowners.
Abigail (Abby most of the time) is already going to be 2 on April 17th. She's grown so fast and seems so much older than 2. We'll be having two birthday parties for her one for my side on the 19th and one for Josh's side on the 20th. One thing I love is when I give Abby kisses I pretend that I’m stuck to her cheek – she loves it and now sometimes she’ll say Momma... “Stuck” in her own way – there’s not a day that where she doesn’t make me smile. My wonderful husband will also be 27 on the 20th!!
Jasmine (Jas or Jassy most of the time -hehe) will be 5 months on the 14th - and even though she's my little girl and has always seemed so tiny - she's getting so big. I keep putting on three months cloths thinking oh she's tiny - and then they're too short or just a little snug. I keeping thinking oh - 3-6 months cloths and forget she’s only one month away from being 6 months. I’m thinking she’s going to be a lot like Momma – and Abby’s a lot like her Daddy.
Some day’s lately I’ve been stressed out or “depressed” and then I realize I get to a point where I look back and think – ok everything is working out and everything is happening for a reason. God takes care of everything if you let him. I’m so excited to hopefully have a house and have a place where I can be with Josh and my precious girls and be HOME. We’ve looked at home in the past and none have worked out as well as this has been working out – so I just feel like this is where God wants us.
Josh and the girls are my everything and I just can’t describe the love I have for them. I need to remind myself often how blessed I am... especially when I think things aren’t going perfectly.
