My New Home
We have moved into our new home. I am a home owner. Boy, that sounds good. Just think - two years ago I was closing in on 30 and still living with my parents. Now I own a home (with my husband, of course).
It is so exciting to think of all the things I can do to it to make more "ours". The only thing is it is really expensive to decorate a home. In the week we have been here, we have spent plenty on shades and ceiling fans. These things are definitely a must especially to increase the resale value or to make it easier to rent (all depending on what happens in the next year or so).
The best part of it is the view we have off the back. Nothing beats living on a golf course (all the free balls I can find!!). Oh and there is a pool, tennis courts, and a marina where we can dock our boat over the weekend!!

Additions to the World
So I got a call last week from one of by closest and dearest friends. She is pregnant. She and her husband have been trying for a while, and with a "little help" they finally did it. She is due in March (which is ironic because she is an accountant - no tax season for her).
We also found out that I will be an aunt. This is so from my husband's side not mine (thank God!!). Eva is going to have a little brother or sister. The gross thing is Brett and I sat down and counted back and we swear they had make up sex after our wedding (there was a little tiff that night).
So of course with all these pregnancies in the works I keep getting asked, "When are you going to have a baby?" For crying out loud, I have been married a whole 3 months! And for all those people who know me, having a child is the farthest thing on my mind. Not that I won't have any, but let me enjoy this part of my life first! I like my freedom and when you throw a child in the mix you say good-bye to that.
Please don't get me wrong - I am so excited for my friends and family. It is just not for me right now. So please stop asking me about it!!!!
