Date night

So Gina and I had big plans last night to go see "Dark Knight". I had been looking forward to seeing it all week. Then our plans got scrapped because our realtor called and someone wanted to view our house at 715. I wanted to say no so bad, but this would be their second visit to the house, and we were told it was between our house and one other. Now I am just dying to see "Dark Knight", and to hear back about the showing. The worst part was not scrapping the movie, it was that I had to rush to cut the grass while Gina cleaned the house, a radical departure from enjoying an ice cold movie theater and a huge bucket of popcorn. At lunch I still had not heard back, so I called our agent. The other house is in East Memphis, so I don't know what to think. Location is probably the biggest competition, as I assume our house is probably newer and more modern, for the price range. But we have never felt that our location was bad, so I am hoping we get an offer this week. Until then, Gina and I are going to make plans every night in the hopes that we have to cancel for a showing.

Facebook

Ok, so I just got started on Facebook recently and it is the wildest thing. I was messing around last night with it and found people that I haven't talked to since elementary school. And because I switched schools 5 times, from Ridgeway Elementary, to White Station Middle to WSHS to MUS, to the University of Colorado and finishing at the U of M, I had a lot of different searches to try. I haven't been able to find any of the people I know from CU yet, so that is disappointing. I am still figuring it all out, but I think it is going to be great catching up with so many people.

Long weekend

So I took a vacation last week for 4 days of golf in Alabama on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. I took my camera and left it in my suitcase every day, so no pictures, but the courses we played were some of the prettiest you will ever see. My golf game ... not so pretty. Actually, it was quite ugly. I have lost my swing. I was lucky to hit the ball 100 yards on most shots, and some of these holes were playing ridiculously long. I still had a great time, and look forward to next years trip, as this has become an annual outing, usually coinciding with the British Open.

The really big news that got me all excited is that we have already had 2 showings of the house. It probably doesn't mean much, but to have 2 the first week on the market has me excited at the possibilities. I am interested in the feedback from the potential buyers to our listing agent.

In other news

Our house goes on the market today. We spent all weekend getting it cleaned up, boxing up extra things, removing furniture, and I even painted. The agent comes back out today to take all the pictures and whatever else it is they are going to do so that our house can sell in the next 3 months. Yeah, good luck with that, right! We don't have to move, but this was being thought about before we found out we were having a baby, so that prompted us to move a little quicker. If the house doesn't sell in the next couple of months we will pull it off the market and wait a couple of years. So if you know anyone looking for a great home in Cordova, that is spacious and perfect for entertaining, you know where to point them. And Shannon, I am sorry, but this is not so that we can move to A2, as awesome as that would be.

Countdown ...

So I ended up not going with Gina to the doctor yesterday. It wasn't going to be a long appointment, and all they did was confirm that she is pregnant again. But I will be going in August for the first ultra-sound. Gina told me August and I reacted with a gasp, like it was so far away. And then I realized it is less than 4 weeks away. So I am already counting down the days to that appointment. Between now and then I don't know what I will post about. Probably the random dreams I started having last night.


I normally can not remember my dreams, but last night I had 2 or 3 that were very vivid. I blame this on Shannon & Carrie and the post about "wait-mares". Luckily, none of mine last night involved a restaurant. I haven't had a "wait-mare" in over a year and it is wonderful. I hope I didn't just jinx myself.


Anyway, first ultra-sound in August, find out if it's a boy or girl in October, and delivery is tentatively scheduled for February 25th, 2009 ... let the waiting games begin.

Random thoughts

So Gina has her first real doctor's appointment since finding out she is pregnant tomorrow and I am going with her. I am pretty sure it won't be as exciting as I hope. My guess is we will go in and they will confirm she is pregnant and then tell her to come back in a month. I am ready to find out if it is a boy or a girl, so we can start thinking about names, b/c we won't discuss it until we know. And I am dying to know if the family is right and we will be having twins. Update tomorrow on what actually transpires.

Gina is pregnant!!!!!!

Welcome to the new blog. Gina went to the doctor and confirmed on Thursday that she is pregnant and we are so excited. We plan on updating often to keep up with the pregnancy and the new addition(s) to the family.
