Well, I think we did it this time. We signed a purchase agreement for a new house in the metro. Not a single family detached house, but a row house, which is a happy medium between Townhouses and Single Family Houses. We get lots of space, but don’t have to do any of the outside work that we both hate. We probably could have bought a fairly nice single family house for what we are paying, but this is brand new and we get to pick stuff out!!!!! All we have to do is make sure all the financing goes through and sell the house we are living in now. We are taking a pretty big hit on the house we have now, but I will do anything to get back to the metro area. We will gain about a days worth of time each week by moving closer!!! I just hope everything works out! I am so afraid it will not go through and we will be stuck out here forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love tests like these! Especially, when I get results like this!!!

Tracy had the baby this morning at 11:07! He weighed 7 lbs even and is 19 1/2 inches long! The labor and delivery went really well. Mom, Dad, Cade and Baby are all doing well!

We got wonderful news today! The new baby Becker is expected to arrive on Sunday. Tracy has been enduring constant contractions and is even dilated to 4, so the doc says she will induce on Sunday if it doesn’t happen before then!

I got my hair cut! I am not so sure about it! I have naturally curly hair so most of the time a hair stylist can’t really screw anything up, but I think she did this time. She cut some of the layers to mid-ear level and now my hair springs out to the side kind of like Bozo the Clown. Yikes!
