House update
I mentioned that we made an offer on a house... well, now its going to be OUR HOUSE! We aren't closing for a couple months, but so far everything is going surprisingly well. To tell the truth its quite frightening buying our first house. Its kinda a big deal. It is a 3 bedroom 1 bath; okay, 1.25 bath because there is a free-standing shower stall in the middle of the unfinished basement. Its hilarious, really. It has a big apple tree in the yard, a garden and a big 2-stall garage. We are going to get some pictures to post this weekend, so STAY TUNED!

A Home?
Well, just a quick update on what's going on with us...
We have been casually looking at houses for about 6 months, now, but last sunday we went to an open house out of curiousity - now 4 days later we are doing the whole bargaining song and dance to buy it (potentially). People keep asking me if I'm excited. No. I don't have time to be excited. Mostly I'm just scared to death because I'm a very cautious person - I overthink everything. If we buy a house we're stuck with it and the mortgage!
This is only adding to the stress of school. I have been overloaded with work because the semester has had to be condensed due to the month off during the flood. I have a huge list of things to do and I just keep working at crossing them off, day by day. I had to go to the doctor for help with a severe stress-induced tension headache that lasted 17 days and was only getting worse. The great thing is that the medicine also stopped the eye twitch that I'd developed!
Carolyn got to come with me to see the doctor, and she is a big fan of doctors ever since she had a dislocation in her elbow and the doctor fixed it right up, so she was excited. She had a blast! I feel bad that the next time we go to the doctor she'll be getting a shot; it will probably traumatize her. She especially liked putting on the rubber gloves and running around to give all the nurses high-fives. She had a minor tantrum before we left because I wouldn't change her diaper on the examination table. They are pretty much the same as a changing table, and she is almost two years old.
Almost two years old! And you can tell. She says "do it by myself" and "mine" alot. She also has figured out that she doesn't always want to do what you do anymore, except when it comes to putting on makeup. She loves to put on makeup, and she'll do your makeup if you let her. The other day I let her put bright pink blush on one of my cheeks and partly down my neck. Unfortunately this was right before going to class and running errands - yup, I forgot about it. It was sparkly and everything!
Well, I'll be back soon with an update and some pictures. Its been a LONG time since I've adequately shared little C's adorableness!
