I've been tagged

My friend Christie tagged me.


So... let's see...

1. I will have been married for 8 years in August and after this next move we will have lived 9 places.

2. I first kissed Matthew almost a year before we started dating.

3. I like some nuts, but only on their own, I hate it when they're in cookies, chocolate, or anything like that.

4. I went to France and Italy when I was 14. I didn't like any of the food (except the bread) in France, but couldn't stop eating everything in Italy.

5. I had purple carpet put in our first house (it really wasn't as bad as it sounds).

6. Matthew and I were at the Giants game that Barry Bonds hit #600 in (and I was 9 weeks pregnant with M at the time).

7. I love Disney more as an adult than I did as a kid.


Yeah... I might want to tag some people, hu? lol

We got an offer

Yesterday we had a second showing and were told that they were looking at our house and one other one and then they were going to make an offer that day. It was at 9am, and we didn't hear anything all day, so we figured they made an offer on the other house. This afternoon we finally heard from our relater, and they had made an offer on our house.
It was REALLY low though. Over 30k less than our (already dropped) asking price. We countered back with something much closer to our asking price, and hopefully they'll either take that or counter with something a bit more in the ballpark.
I was shocked at how low it was, but at least they're interested and hopefully we can agree on something that will work for everyone.
I'll post an update when I have one.

WooHoo!!

LOOK at what I got of M today!! I'm so excited! She hardly ever looks at the camera, keeps her eyes open, and gives me a real smile anymore, and I can never get her eyes in focus and with catchlights in them only (and not all over her glasses) when she has her glasses on. I cannot wait to get this one printed HUGE!

Here's a few more from our mini shoot this morning. M doing her "Hannah Montana" pose, and R being a total goof (this is so them!)
...ick, this is looking a little cool on here, I'll have to fix the color before I print!

This pose was their idea. lol

I just signed them up for a bunch of fun stuff this summer too. They're going to do two weeks of afternoon swim lessons starting next week, and then the week after that they're both going to a Bubbles of Fun camp for preschoolers. I'm so excited, I will have 2 hours a morning, 4 days in a row to MYSELF!! I don't know what I'm going to do with myself! (anyone want a photo shoot?)
It was a little pricey to sign them up for all of that, but it was still less than what we were paying every month for M's preschool, so I don't feel so bad about it.

Exciting (scrapbooking) news!

I just found out I won another challenge over at ScrapMatters. It was for my Pluto LO which can be seen a few posts down.

Also, I was asked to CT for Andilynne Designs!! She has some really cute stuff that can be seen here. I'm very excited to be part of her team!

I ended up scrapping another page last night... Well, not really a page, just a little title to go in the window on the front of my Disney album. It's just a 4x4 size. I think it turned out cute though...

(I just have to say that I'm LOVING those tabby dates by Britt-ish Designs, they are so versatile!!!)

I did it! 7 layouts in 2 days!!

Whew, I think I'm going to need a scraping break! Today is the last day of the Queen of Scrap contest on Scrapmatters. While I didn't get close to winning (some ladies did over 100 LOs this month!!), there was a participation prize announced yesterday for everyone who did at least 35 LOs. I was at 28 thinking I would like to get to 30 when I read that, but I really liked the prize, so I decided to go for it. Here's the fruit of my labor...

Last Day of PreK

Today was M's last day of preK, I cannot believe she's done with preschool now. Here's her first day/last day pictures...

We were at her school all morning today doing a school wide "track meet". The older grades set up fun little events for the younger grades and preschoolers to compete in. M placed 2nd in two events and got ribbons for both. It was fun, and I got a lot of cute pictures of her with her friends (and the boy she says she's going to marry!).
I think we're going to make a scrapbook together this summer of all her school stuff. The books I've been working on are just family books, so I think it would be a fun summer project to do one of just her school stuff together... friends, parties, field trips, ect... I might try doing a hybrid chipboard album, but I'm not sure yet...

Here is a LO I did today for an 8 simple rules challenge over at ScrapMatters. I'm really loving the way it turned out!

I'm off to watch the Lost marathon in a bit. We missed last week, so I'm going to catch that at 8 and then watch the new one after it. I still can't make up my mind on how I feel about that show. It drives me crazy, but I keep coming back for ANSWERS!! lol

I forgot one (and a small house update)

I meant to upload this one last night, but I missed it. Check out R's hair! It did that on it's own while we was swimming and then it stayed that way all night. lol

I talked to the relater today. There's been another relater who just drops by without an appointment and comes on in even if we're not home. His card appeared on our kitchen counter last week with all the other cards, and neither Matthew or I could figure out when he had a showing. Turns out he didn't. He came by again yesterday morning while I was home with the same client. I let them look around, but I really wasn't comfortable with it (and my house was a mess!). So, I told our relater about it and he called the other relater. Turns out his client is "interested" in our house. We'll see if anything comes of it since we've had interest in it before, but it's a good sign!
We also had another showing today, I made cookies (just the break and bake kind) so the house would smell good and now I'm trying to to eat all of them. I better hold off, I did promise the kids they could have one after dinner.
