Preparing // For Emma’s birthday party tomorrow! She has been counting the days and is super excited. I’ve got a few more things to finish up today — darn you Pinterest and all of your ideas that I want to implement — but we’re basically set since the party is at a local play place. The things I’m making are just bells and whistles anyway.
Breathing // Again now that we are back on track towards closing on our new house next week. We had a hiccup on Wednesday that involved some renegotiating and a discussion of whether we needed to walk away, but thankfully after a stressful 8 hours, things got worked out. I decided that house buying is like a Dickens novel…best of times, worst of times, spring of hope, winter of discontent, etc etc etc!
Sewing // Zip, zero, nada since I packed up my sewing machine last weekend. But with birthdays and move prep it’s not like I really have spare time to be sewing right now anyway! I did finish the birthday present for Emma that I was working on last Friday and am really pleased with the result.
Feeling // Excited about what should be a fun weekend. There’s Emma’s birthday of course, but we’ll also have a few of Jose’s family members in town. They’re all going to the Guns N Roses concert tomorrow night (I know) and several have decided to stick around to celebrate with Emma.
Looking // Forward to this time next week, at which point we will hopefully officially own the new house, my mom will be here, and my dad will be on the way! My parents have been planning to come down in mid-August for months. Originally they were going to stay with the girls while Jose and I went on a vacation…but then we decided to buy a house, which means no vacation and now my parents “get” to help us move. Tricked you, Mom and Dad! Ha!
