On the bright side of things, we did get the house. We are closing on June 30th. That is why we canceled the vacation....to make sure we had the money for the down payment. We also bought a used stove and refrigerator for the new place. It's the ones that are in the house now. She originally was taking them with her, but the place she is going to already has new appliances. It's a side by side fridge and an electric range with a double oven in it. I'm really excited about that. They aren't new, but they are "new to me" and in much better shape than the appliances that I currently have.
We are putting a privacy fence up at least along the back side of the property and possible all the way around. Matt wants it all the way and I have mixed feelings. Because we are going to put a hot tub in the yard I kind of agree that I like the idea but at the same time privacy fences always kind of screamed snob to me. lol I just wanted chain link, but we are going to compromise. I think most of the yard is being fenced, but the front won't be. I don't know.....I guess time will tell for sure what we do. lol
We are also planning to put in a fish pond, gazebo and memorial garden. It will have a stone for my Dad in it and a plaque or some sort or memorial for our babies we have lost. I've always hated not having something for them, so now that we are going to own, we are going to build that in. I'm excited about it. I know it's going to take quite a while though because stuff like that is really expensive! lol It'll be a work in progress and it's probably always going to be growing and changing.
I am also going to be planting a garden but that won't happen until NEXT spring just because we are getting into the house to late to plant much this year. We will probably plant some bulbs in some of the flower beds this fall, but the actual garden won't be planted until spring.
And to update on the TTC front..... I am in the 2ww again. Not feeling too hopeful at the moment though. Sunday night I was at a friend's house and his four year old step-daughter decided that I have a baby in my belly. She wanted to know the baby's name was. She argued about it for a long time and I kind of thought maybe it was just because she just got a baby brother recently (he's 6 months old). He called me later to say he hoped she hadn't upset me and that he really didn't know what had gotten into her. He's never seen her act that way with anyone. Part of me really hopes she knows something I don't (I ovulated on Saturday so it's possible) but I am also being realistic and not getting my hopes up.
