OURS.

So, when my friends got houses, I was happy for them. Yay. But then I got a house, and it's the most exciting thing EVER. Kinda like when you get married and it's SUCH a bigger deal when it's you than when it's someone else. Yes, all, I have purchased a house! Trevor and I signed on it today (and BOY do you sign, man!) So on Monday we will hopefully get the keys and we can then spend the week cleaning it and painting it. I don't think we'll actually move into it until the 7th of November. Anyone who adores painting or cleaning or helping other people move is certainly allowed to help us. We'll LET you. We're nice that way. I mean, we COULD keep all that work to ourselves, but it's important to give others the opportunity to serve, right? And of course I could always play the pregnancy card...which is actually a pretty valid play when it comes to moving. Actually, our old ward has offered to help us move, which is so very nice of them.

I'm so glad they are willing to help us, because honestly, I'm just starting to get to that point in the pregnancy where it's becoming uncomfortable, as I realize one by one that there are things I can't do anymore. Like a butt spin. Tried that today at our school Halloween dance. Um...yeah I'm pregnant. Can't do that anymore. (For you non-dance people, that's when you are dancing and you grab the wrist of your partner and he spins you on the floor. I tried it with one of the boys on my dance team. It was not a pretty sight.) Oh, and I can't lie down on my stomach on the flat caffeteria floor either. Tried that too when I was trying to show the boys on my team how I wanted them to get up from a drop in the routine while choreographing last week. Dancing is becoming quite difficult actually, which is highly inconvenient! Oh, and sleepign through the night without having to pee. Yeah, that's over too. Well, that's our exciting news! What a big year 2008 is turning out to be!

Yeah! You know I'm good for painting. I'll teach Trevor everything I know so he'll be an 'expert' by the time I'm done with him.

Let me know if you guys want me to go with you to buy the paint and supplies.

Congratulations! Very exciting time. I love to paint but sorry I am not volunteering if I don't get the bathroom painted soon Brett will do it himself and we really don't want that happening! I can't wait to come over at see your new house!

Old ward that excited to see you leave, eh?

Let us know when you want the TV and we'll bring it by. Tell us when you are painting and we'll make sure to schedule something, um, I mean, we'll check our schedules.

You really should NOT be trying ANY fancy dance moves for a while.
