It's been a little while since I've written...go figure. Always happens like that!!
So for those of you who don't know, our house recently sold (finally)! We are currently living with John's parents who have so graciously let us take over their basement with all of our stuff! We are so very thankful to them for giving us this time so save money up for a down payment.
We did have a contract in on a new house but we backed out of our contract because of some mold issues. So now we are just going to be patient and save, save, save. I am a little disappointed that the house we wanted fell through but I am also so thankful for a good home inspector that helped us make the right decision for our family! Harry Noble is an absolutely amazing inspector and I will recommend him to absolutely everyone!
Unfortunately, there are just no houses in the area that we're looking in that we like. So we are even more thankful for this time at my in-laws so we don't just have to purchase a house that we aren't completely sold on just so we have a place to live!
My in-laws have been great with everything though. They love the extra time that they get to spend with Oliver. And they might enjoy getting to see us a little more often, but mainly they enjoy their Ollie time! lol.
Other than house stuff there's really not that much that has changed. I cannot believe my baby is 8 1/2 months old. *insert all the crying faces* Can't believe my baby boy is so close to being a year old.
However, I am so excited for all of Oliver's firsts! First Halloween (that he has a super cute costume for), first Thanksgiving, first Christmas, first New Years (that we will all spend sleeping..haha) and his first birthday. We are ready for this busy holiday season and spending even more time with family that we love and cherish so much. We are so blessed with such an amazing family on my side and on John's. We are so excited to see our family from Chicago and Louisville so much this upcoming season. And so excited to spend our first Christmas with John's cousins, Kirstie and Phil, who will be home from England!!
I always say I'll try to post more often but lets just be real. It's hard to find any spare time with a baby!
