September in a nutshell....

Sorry... I suck at blogging.... 

Here is a brief recap of my life since.... September... danggg it has been awhile...

Well lets see -- CLOSING WAS PUSHED BACK -- TWO weeks!! I was NOT happy about this. I pretty much tore up all my house TO-DO list. Pretty much any 'game plans' I came up with for painting/carpeting/moving all went out the window. My new mind set is -- FAST!!

We are scheduled to close on Wednesday.....

        We have 5 rooms that really need to be completed before we move it. Completed as in               Paint & Flooring. I am all good with living out of boxes for a week... or month.... JUST                   KIDDING!

        I have to empty the rental..... and relocated it to the new house... 

        I'm in search of a GAS dryer.... seems like when I need one they all disapper... grrr 

        Deliver others miscellaneous items... 

         &&&& this all has to be done in F-I-V-E days. Going to need to stock up on Redbull.

So in the other aspects of my life....

         BRYSON TURNED TWO!!  Andd it of course rained the entire day of his birthday party...            that was being held at a park.... && he was sick and crabby. But dispite all the set backs 

         the party went  well.. I will write a post about his birthday soon. 

          I started grad school.....I get nervous every time I walk into Concordia. But I think this 

          program is really fit for me. They coddle their students &&  give away tons of free-bees! 

   

          Wedding Planning is at a dead stop

           &&&&& my diet is a JOKE! 

Hoping once we are moved in and settled things will calm down... & I can refocus on being healthy and planning the wedding of my dreams --- or what the budget allows!

Cheers!

BIG MONTH AHEAD...

Whoa.... Goodbye August... 

Hello September. I welcome September with much anticipation.

September is a HUGE month for our family. Nick & I will have a two year old, which is just crazy. & even crazier we will be HOMEOWNERS! Yippy! 

Needless to say my life has been a bit hectic. The count down has begun to and we have exactly EIGHT days till Bryson turns the big T-W-O and until our CLOSING, eeks!

Pictures are coming down. Rooms are being emptied. Boxes are being filled. 

Definitely having a mini freak-out. We have exactly 8 more days to focus all our attention on completing the repurposing projects, thinking of paint colors, packing up 2.5 years of crap, finishing up paperwork, & keeping everything as organized as possible. 

Add Mr. B's birthday party on top of everything -- causes me to be one strung out mess.

I cant stress too much because everything seems to be coming together nicely! Nick has taken over redoing the furniture, while I focused on B's b-day and packing. I just feel like we are in such a time crunch. The new house needs to be semi-complete and live-able by October 1st with all of our stuff in. Thank goodness the Summer festivities have slowed down and we can really focus on getting in!

Patiently waiting....& getting excited...

Bryson's Brithday

We have SO much happening within the next month that Bryson's birthday has kinda been put on the back burner -- poor guy.

I went ALL out for B first birthday. Guest list was over 100 and I went crazy with decorations, food, and take-home goodies. His 1st birthday was SUPER memorable but it was time consuming and SUPER expensive

Well little one we cant afford that this year - I don't think he will be to heart broken..

The sad thing is I wasn't going to have anything for him besides maybe a cake at my parents. But I received a wake up call when I noticed one of my old coworkers having a birthday bash for her 2 year old. So, needless to say I felt like a horrible momma.

Well with that little push - Bryson's first birthday party is starting come together.
Park has been rented. Theme has been picked. Guest list is constructed. & menu is planned.

Lets see if I can pull this off without my right hand women, Kristen...

Man September is going to be SUPER busy.  I'm already tired just thinking about it.
