Been a while.

So it has been a while since my last post. Nothing too exciting happening...well ok I am lying. We decided to buy a house. Signed all the contracts and the down payment should be with the builder by mid-October. The new house should be finished in 4-9 months of course once they actually break ground we will have a better idea of when it will be done.

We had a Realtor visit who gave us a suggested listing price and told us about the secure sell program through our builder. So now I just have to worry about getting this place sold in the right time frame and that we make enough equity to pay our down payment on the new place. Fortunately we have a decent buffer zone so as long as the housing prices don't drop dramatically it should be ok.

The new house is located in a brand new area not to far from here. The new house will be twice the size of what we have now (including the basement). I know that we are very excited about being in our new home.

We are leaving a week today for Ontario and a visit with the in-laws and some friends. I am nervous about flying with Brennan. Also since he surgery he has been waking at night. In the past month he has only slept through 3 times. I am not sure what more disruption will bring. I hope I can get him sleeping through consistently again before I head back to work.

Speaking of work....I got my requested raise....woo hoo....I am scheduled to go back Nov 3. So just about a month left. I am nervous and maybe a little excited about going back. It will be a big big change for Brennan, my mother, and me.

I have been working out with my Wii Fit everyday for at least 1/2 hour. As of today, day 16 I am down 4 lbs. It is somewhat encouraging. But my graph looks like a mountain landscape. It seems that at the beginning of the week I do really well and I slowly creep down and then at the end of the week it suddenly shoots back up. I guess it is kind of like two steps forward and one back. I still have a LONG way to go to get out of the "obese" bracket and into the "overweight" one. Sigh. If only I were taller say 6 3' then I would be "normal"...lol.
