Moving

Well, things went well for Travis and Ian to move our things into our house. The trouble we're having is getting our refrigerator in our house. The moving guys came in and messed up a wall near our front door. :( They also scratched the refrigerator on the front, so they are going to have to get us a new one. They also tried to see if they could get it through our back doors. So they started taking it all apart. I'm so nervous that our sliding doors are going to be messed up now. Ugh. I guess everything couldn't be smooth sailing. I will give you all an update when everything is finally in.

Our Home Walk Through & Doctor Appointment

On Tuesday we got to go see our house!!!! It is beautiful!!! It took a long time going around the whole house and checking everything. There are some touch-ups that they need to do, but it was still beautiful. It made Travis and I even more excited to move-in. Today we went and signed all the important papers to receive the house this next Friday, yea!!!!! I took some pictures of our house and thought I would share them with you. Here is how our house looks as of now. Enjoy!

Here is a view of our kitchen with Travis and our Construction Supervisor.

Our Master Bathroom

They need to put in the clear glass around our shower though.

OOne of the other bedrooms in the house. We got fans in all our bedrooms.

Today we had an appointment to have another ultrasound. At around 12-13 weeks they do a test to check the neck of the baby. This will see what the chances are for us to have a baby with down syndrome. Everything looks good! We got to see our baby move around and our baby even waved to us! :) It was SO nice to see that everything is going well with our baby. Our baby was being stubborn though and not cooperating...lol...the doctor had a hard time getting our baby to turn around. She did say that she is 75% sure we are having a _______. Travis and I won't say until we are more sure though. :) So things are going well and we are super excited with everything God is blessing us with.

First Week of School

I survived my first week of school. It is tiring having to get up at 4am to get ready for my day. By the time we leave work and get home it is 6:30-7pm! So Travis and I have long days during the week. I have 25 students in my class (the most I've had teaching). The parents have been wonderful to work with and very helpful. I've had to make some not so good phone calls home the first week of school already. I'm just making them change their card every time so that they don't think they can get away with misbehaving. So far I haven't had a same kid get on red during the week, so that is nice. This year is going to be a little different teaching 1st grade. A lot of the kids I have only had half-day kindergarten. At my other school all of them came from full-day kindergarten. I can tell the difference!!! But we will work on it and I will have them getting use to being at school all day.

Aside from school, this Tuesday we will have our walk through for our house! We are SUPER excited! We have about 2 more weeks until move-in. Hopefully everything is ready at that time and we can move in. So I will be taking pictures for the walk through and have another post of it. We also have an ultrasound appointment this Friday. So we're excited to see how the baby is doing. It's hard having to wait so long to see how everything is going. I got really sick this past Thursday. Travis had to pull over on the side of the highway for me to throw up (gross I know)!!! But I'm feeling better now and think something was in my system that just needed to get out.
