We're Here (Updated)

We've made it to Charlotte! It was a long and hot move but everything made it here in one piece. Thanks to my parents, Jeremy's parents, my brother, future sis in law, and Eric Gunter for their help. I would also like to thank our new GPS (Jeremy's father's day present) for helping me navigate this crazy city. Without you, I would be lost. :)

While there are many boxes left to unpack, we are getting settled into life here. I have finally changed our address with everyone under the sun so we should be official now. Owen is having the hard time adjusting to sleep here. We set up his room first in hopes of giving him some sense of normalacy but it doesn't seem to have helped. He is going to bed way late each evening which makes us all tired. He napped at regular time today so I'm hoping we are on the right track.

Also yesterday I went to another OB appointment. Everything went great and the heartbeat was 160 bpm (does that mean a girl?). I am now 15 weeks and we will find out at our next appointment on July 28th the gender of this new little one. We can't wait! Take the little survey on the side and let us know what you think it is.

Well that's about it for now. Thanks for checking in on us..I promise to have some fun picture posts soon. :)

Checklist Almost Complete

I'm happy to report:

• our renters have signed the lease
• we were approved for our new townhome
• my swagbucks arrived..very late
• I ordered Jeremy's Father's day present and was able to get super fast shipping for free! He may actually get it on Father's day

I still need a tall helper to get the stuff out of the cabinet and the stupid insurance company to call me back. The big things (and most important) are out of the way though so I'm happy.

Only 1 week until we move!

In Case You Didn't Know...

I am an impatient person. (My mom is laughing right now I'm sure!) In today's world when you get everything you want immediately, I have a hard time being patient when things take a little longer. Here are the things I'm currently waiting on:

• The couple who is renting our house to go sign the official lease therefore allowing our agent to fax it over to our new leasing agent.
• The leasing agent for our town home in Charlotte to approve us.
• Swagbucks to award my Amazon gift cards so I can order Jeremy's father's day present.
• More boxes that are currently awaiting me in my brother's car
• Someone tall to help me get the stuff out of the top of the cabinets so I can pack it up.
• Stupid insurance companies to call me back

Ok thanks for letting me rant. I'll do a better update of what's going on when I get a few moment. :)

One Step Closer

We have renters!! After only a week and half on the market, our house has been rented! Not only has it been rented, but they are renting over what we originally needed!!! Thanks to our awesome realtor we will be receiving enough money to cover our mortgage and the property management fee. Praise the Lord!!

Really we have to praise God for just how He has worked through out this whole process. First, He provided a new job very soon into the process. When at first it didn't seem like a reasonable offer, He made it possible by having the owner offer Jeremy more money. He used a realtor friend to give us good advice and help us decide to rent to save us money. We then got a great realtor that helped promote our rental, allowing it to rent in just 1.5 weeks. While we have one more step (finding a new place to live) we know that the Lord will provide there as well.

Now the packing process begins! If anyone would like to come help, it would be greatly appreciated. :) I believe we will pull out of here the last weekend in June so if you would be willing to help us pack it all up, we would love that as well. :)

Jesse and Emily's Wedding

This past weekend we celebrated another family wedding. This time it was Jeremy's oldest brother, Jesse, wedding in the beautiful mountains of NC. The wedding took place on the side of a hill over looking a huge pond with Grandfather Mountain as the backdrop. It was so picturesque!

Beautiful table arrangements
Our menu for the evening
First dance as a married couple
I've learned that it's very hard to try and get good pictures when you are balancing a toddler and a camera. Owen suffered from a case of constipation that day, so we spent a lot of our time going back and forth to the bathroom. It was a beautiful wedding and we wish the new Mr. and Mrs. Cox all the best!

(Emma, I'm sorry there no pictures of you; I had some great ones, but since Morris was in the picture too I didn't want to post them.)
