Having kids by Kelly (or not having kids yet)

So apparently when you get married it's time to start having kids. Like right away. At least according to most of my family. Now they don't come out and say exactly that but every conversation somehow sneaks in a little something about how we should have kids soon. I definitely want kids. I just don't want kids right this second. Plus I have to have a kid during the off season. And enough into the off season that I'm not a blimp during the season. I'm not going to try to walk through the thousands that come through this bar while super pregnant. I already missed the deadline for this year. So guess I have to wait another year. Sorry family!

We got Jake tested to see if he was a Tay-Sachs carrier. I am a carrier. If both parents are carriers your child has a 1 in 4 chance of having Tay-Sachs. It's fatal. My sister had it so we were super happy to find out he isn't a carrier.

I'm going to be a crazy parent. I worry about everything. I used to laugh at the insane things my mom would come up with to be worried about but I can probably top her now. It doesn't help that Jake is absolutely insane. The other day I came home and found him in a tree chopping down the tree. Yup. He was in the tree while chopping it down. He is nuts. He prob just won't be allowed to babysit. Kelly

My parents' house and our house.

New home by Kelly

We are finally grownups! I am writing this from my new king sized bed. With my new 500 thread count sheets. Just enjoying life. Does a new big kid bed make you a grownup? No not really. But a new big kid house does make you a grownup!

We finally closed on our house and are in the lovely process of tearing things up and down. Jake has an entire house to redo now. We love it.

We decided to not move our things in until the remodeling is done. We did move our bed though. So far we have been here for one week with no tv, no computer, nothing. We just get to work on things and talk. I like it a lot actually. Or I did until I realized my DVR hasn't recorded the last two episodes of real housewives.

Here is the mansion. I will keep updated with progress. And will keep you updated with how my sanity is doing with another remodel goin on. Kelly

I Hate the Home Buying Process by Kelly

I absolutely hate the home buying process. Hate hate hate it. I totally get why people are complaining about how hard it is to get a loan. It's borderline impossible. So frustrating. Right now things look very good but I'm not going to jinx it so this is the end of me talking about house hunting until we have the keys and are in the house.

In other news, there is literally nothing new going on. We are still married. Still sort of like each other. Haha. We are going back to Mexico for our year anniversary. Well hopefully anyway.I haven't checked with work yet. But I'm assuming work will love the idea of me taking off a week to go to Mexico right when Cubs season starts again. Kelly
