The Results are in!

Yesterday I went and had my ultra sound and it's official. We're having a girl! I am sure Austin is really excited, as we all are. Everything is normal and healthy. The Doctor said that she was even a little small ( like 4 days, nothing big) which was wonderful news, considering how large Austin was. He was full term at 36 week, by the time he was born (on his due date) he was 9 lbs and 22.5 inches! So I will be thrilled if this one is smaller.

Not much else going on around here. I have done my first couple vinyl cuts, and they took a while but we have already learned a lot about what to do and what not to do. Devon has even talked to his boss about redoing the logos on their trucks for work, I don't think I am ready to do a fleet of truck for a business, but if he wants to undertake it then whatever. It would be good exposure I guess.

Oh, other good news...well news, is that last week we put in our loan application. We are hoping to be able to buy a house in the next couple of months so we are anxiously waiting to see what we qualify for. We weren't expecting to purchase a house this soon, but with the housing market down as low as it is, and with rent being as high as it is we decided that now (in the next 6 months) is the time to do it. Normally the amount of a loan that we would qualify for wouldn't be enough to get us into a 2 bedroom condo down here. Which is to be expected when you are just out of college and decided to move to California, but with the drop in the housing market we have been able to look into some 4 bed 2 bath single family homes with in our budget! So we are getting excited at the prospect of actually getting into a house. If it happens or not - well we'll put that into the Lord's hand - but it will be nice if it does.

I think that is all for now. Hope that everyone has a great week.

Vinyl Lettering

A couple of months ago I bought a vinyl cutter so I could start a little vinyl business. I was planning on taking it slowly, but now that we have it up and running Devon is really pushing me to get my business license and start for real. I am okay with this idea, I enjoy working with the vinyl. My only problem is that I don't have any ideas for the name of the business. Most of the other businesses are called lame and boring things like..Vinyl Letters, Vinyl Words, Thoughts in Vinyl, etc. I want mine to be something fun...not boring. My sister gave the the idea of Stick em Up, but it is already used. If anyone has any other ideas PLEASE let me know. I have no idea what to do.

A work in progress

So, now that it has been almost 2 months since I last posted I have decided to stop feeling guilty and just start blogging again. We had a wonderful eventful holiday season, but it was too much fun and I don't have enough time to share so I am going to start again. For those of you who don't know, I am expecting my second baby in June. I don't find out what I am having until the 28 of January but I am 99.9% sure it's a girl - hence the beautiful new background color. As for life - right now we are just trying to get back into the swing of things. The local high schools around here have finals next week so I have been swamped with tutoring. Work for Devon has officially passed their slow season and they are starting to pick up pace. Austin on the other hand is content at the pace he is going, a slow steady crawl. At least he is actually crawling now and not just scooting around on his belly. We are hoping that he will walk soon, but we are not pushing it at all. As long as he is walking before the next one comes we will all be happy.
