We're BACK Baby!

It has almost been exactly two months since my last post. I just finished re-reading it to see where we left off. That was a sad post. I guess in reality, a lot of these posts are sad. The whole concept of infertility is sad. But infertility is like riding the waves and today we are riding high. Let me bring you up to speed on how we used are non baby making down time over the lat two months!

Our vacation to the Cayman Islands was unbelievable! The rest and relaxation is just what the doctor ordered. The highlight for me was swimming with the stingrays! They were so cute, just like kitties. They swim up and brush up against your legs and body. And they love to be fed! So fun! Other than that, my spa visit with my mother in law was amazing and just having no agenda for 3 days straight was perfection! Here are a few of my favorite shots.

In the middle of our vacation, we decided to finish the last room in our house, the master bathroom. It was nice going without any construction in the house for a while, but if we didn't move quickly, we would probably never do it! In the middle of this "little" renovation, we found a house we liked. We like to stalk the Austin home market, it's one of our hobbies. The home was gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for. We held back every desire to go see it for as long as we could, about two weeks and then we caved. We called up our real estate agent, took a look around and fell in love. Then we did something crazy, we put in an offer before a.) our bathroom was complete and b.) before our house was even on the market! CRAZY KIDS, I know. They didn't even really respond to our first offer. We were heart broken, but as I mentioned before, we had time. The house had been on the market for over 50 days and we weren't quite ready to move forward either. Another couple weeks went by and while stalking again I noticed they had lowered their asking price. So again, we submitted another offer and this time they accepted! We had 3 days to get the bathroom done and get our current house listed! This one experience was a whirl wind, but it was probably the best decision we ever made. We listed our house on a Friday afternoon about 3:30 pm. We accepted an offer, over asking on Sunday morning about 11:00 am. Isn't that INSANE?! Less than 48 hours! So now we are packing and waiting for our close date.

Update: SOLD!
