BIG NEWS: Baby on the way!

Jeremy and I are expecting our first baby - due November 18th!

We're so excited! We've known since March, we had our first doctor's appointment at 8 weeks and had an ultrasound and everything was looking good and got to see the baby's heartbeat then. Our doctor suggested waiting until 12 weeks to tell everyone. We had our 12 week appointment on Thursday and got to hear the heartbeat and also had an ultrasound, which is above. Technology is quite amazing!

Overall, I've been feeling pretty good - I've only been sick a couple times and have been wearing a seaband which seems to be helping with the morning sickness.

So it looks like we'll definitely have visitors in Idaho! :)

We're off to Boise tomorrow to go house hunting this week, so hopefully we can find a house!

Boise

We went to Boise last weekend so I could check out the area. We basically drove around and checked out neighborhoods and ended up in a few with expensive homes!

All and all I like it! Not as green as Oregon but I'll take it compared to the extra sunshine they get.

Our house is still for sale - we did get an offer a week after it was for sale and countered back and the people said their offer was their best offer! Oh well! At least we have a buyout option after 90 days.

We are headed back to Boise next week to go house hunting! I'm pretty excited - we've got a huge list of houses to look at, so it'll be good to see the variety. When we bought our current home we found our house pretty quick so hopefully we can find another home :)

Have a nice weekend!

House stuff

Our house has been on the market for a week. Our realtor did a broker's open last week and got some good feedback, we just need to find the right buyer! We had someone come look at it today...so we'll see. Luckily we have a buyout option if the house doesn't sell within 90 days. It'd sure be nice if we could sell it before then though! I'm not sure if they will extend the first time home buyer credit program - so we'll see - there has been an increase in home purchases because that deadline is coming up. So sending good thoughts our way! :)

We are going to Boise this weekend to check out the area, since I've never been. We'll be returning on May 10-14 for a house hunting trip.

Everything is starting to come together!

My office was at our new location in Tualatin. My commute is about 10-15 minutes longer, so not too bad and it's only for 3 months at which time I'll be working from home.

Other than that - not much else to report!

For Sale

So the yard got finished on Thursday and turned our great! I'm bummed that we have this awesome yard now that we're moving! Boo!

We met with the relator today and our house is going up for sale tomorrow! Sending good thoughts our way that it sells soon!

So we're planning on moving to Idaho at the end of July

That's all for now!

YAY!

I found out on Friday that I'll be able to do my current job from Idaho! Best part is I'll be working from home! :) So thankful it worked out so I can stay with the company!

Hope everyone had a nice Easter!

The Latest

So we're still waiting to hear if I can transfer my job and work in Idaho but do the same job I currently do. I'm crossing my fingers hoping it works out! I've worked so hard for my company that it would be awesome! So send some good thoughts our way! :) Hopefully, we'll hear something with the next week! ::I hope!::

We tore a pond out and a tree out of one side of our yard - so we can re-do it and make it look nicer and have more yard, (vs all the bark dust near the corner area) better curb appeal. I rototilled up the yard by myself while Jeremy was busy spreading gravel in the RV parking area on the side of our house. We thought the dirt was too moist to do anything further - unfortunately we have received a ton of rain and have a big mud pit out front! So who knows when we'll be able to finish it! Other than that, most the stuff we needed to do around the house is done!

We have to be to Idaho in July - anytime - it's up to us, and we are about 3 months out and not in a hurry to pin down an exact date yet.

We're thinking about making a trip out there in the next month to check out the area.

Other than that, not much else to report.

We're Moving To...

...Boise, Idaho!

Jeremy got a promotion so we're off to Idaho later this year. We don't know exactly when we need to be there quite yet, we've been told mid-summer. We will be selling our home and will begin the misc projects and fixing the front yard. We took a pond out and are re-doing one side which we'll start this weekend.

I've requested a transfer with my job and am waiting to hear back, which may take several weeks...so I have to be patient.

We're really excited to begin a new journey!! :)

I'll try to keep this more updated, and I'll have more to write about with everything going on with the move :)

I'm looking forward to more sunshine in Idaho...I've read they get something like 250 days of sunshine a year! Yes!

Aunty Connie is visiting this weekend and we're looking forward to hanging out! :)
