Going Private

It is true! Once again, I am making my blog private. With a lil one on the way, it just feels safer somehow. If you would like to continue reading my blog, comment and leave your email please :)

Also, here are some updates on what is going on in our lives!!
- We moved into our new apartment! We love it SO MUCH. Once I get everything up on the walls that I want, I'll post pictures ;) Our last apartment was bigger, so I was worried I would miss it a lot. Actually, we don't really miss it. At all! That apartment was built in the late 1950's, and really needed to be reconstructed/remodeled. We got lucky, since the guy who lived there before us repainted everything and put up super cute wallpaper. When we put up that apartment to have people come look at it, the first guy walked in and said, "Wow.. if people only knew how nice this apartment was they would all be flocking here!" Or something along those lines. When we walked into our new apartment (built two years ago) we were shocked with how small it was. We had NO IDEA how anything was going to fit. In our old apartment, we had so much room we didn't need to be extra cautious. Once we started moving things in it all fit... somehow haha. Now we are extremely happy with how it all turned out. Plus we now have a washer, dryer, dishwasher, and elevator... quite the difference!
- Joel got a job!!!! We are so happy to just have something :) He starts Monday!
- We are going to the temple with our ward on Saturday! Going to hop on a bus at 7.30 am and head to Denmark. It's just crazy thinking how this will probably be the last time we go to the temple before the baby comes.... Now that is something weird and crazy to think about. This is the first "last thing" that makes us think could be the "last" thing we do before she comes! That made more sense in my head... I hope it makes sense haha.
- I have started a new painting!! I am soooo excited about it. (I plan on selling it if there is someone interested! Stay tuned to find out what it is ;)) I had it all drawn out how I wanted it and got everything out and ready to paint... when I couldn't find my turpentine. How on earth does one loose a huge bottle of turpentine??! I am stunned. I know it can't be my pregnancy brain not knowing where it is because Joel can't find it either. I know it isn't in our storage downstairs where I have some things packed away... so it HAS to be in our apartment somewhere. Joel and I looked so hard the other day and still no sign of it. Hopefully it randomly turns up soon! It would be rather hard to paint if I don't use it ;)
- Joel and I went to a BMW dealership and test drove a car. We about died of happiness and can't wait to get it! Joel works with an affiliate marketing company called Vemma, and once he reaches a certain rank in the company they subsidize your car payment. It is so nice to have an extra source of income, we are so grateful for it. :)
- My parents are flying over in March!!!!!!! My mom is finalizing tickets :) I get so excited and it takes me a while to settle down when I think about them flying over to see the baby! That is how excited I am to have them coming :) The last time they were here was for the wedding and that was for three weeks. I think it will be so much fun to have them here and already be familiar with so many people and places! I honestly can't wait.

When I went to the temple with Listen in my belly, it always felt so special. It's the only time you get to be there with your child until they are grown.

Yay for a washer and dryer AND a dishwasher!
