Different Direction

Well sorry it has been awhile since I made a post. We went last weekend to my friends house near Florence, AL who is a photographer to have our pregnancy pictures made. Randal did so good. I can't wait to see them, they are going to be so good. I will try to post some of them as soon as they are available, which should be soon. We had some made in all black and some in beige and white. I can hardly wait to see them. She said they should be ready in a week or so. She is going to make me a book of them. Then when Caylee Grace is born she is going to incorporate her into one of the pictures. That will be neat.

Now to the title of this post, a different direction. As all or some of you know we have some land in Blount County that we were (well still are) going to build a log home then I got pregnant and we changed to just building a house not a log home. Well, since Randal has prograstenated so long and we still have no house to take Caylee Grace too, he has realized that we can't take her to this small basement apartment that we have been living in for 2 1/2 years (yes it has been that long believe me) so this past weekend we decided that we are going to purchase a house and live there for maybe a year or two until we can get the land paid off and then start building and sell that one. So we looked at 4 or 5 houses. The one that we chose doesn't have a basement that Randal wanted but it is the biggest of the ones that we have looked at. I love it. The builder built it for himself to live in that subdivision so it has a HUGE master bedroom and bath that I fell in love with. I also like it because it is one level with 2 car garage that I can just drive up and carry Caylee Grace right in without steps. That will be wonderful. It is 3 bedroom, 2 bath and has a fireplace and is in a great subdivision (Sweetwater) off Warrior Jasper Road. We put a contract on it yesterday but haven't heard back yet. Please say an extra prayer for us so we can get this going and get it with a little time to spare before Caylee Grace makes her appearance. I'm so ready to have a nursery and get settled into our own place.

Hope everyone has had a great week. Not much going on this weekend. I'm playing cards tonight and tomorrow I'm going the gym and I'm going to stay up however long it takes me to get all my thank you notes wrote. Randal has to work all weekend so I will have all the time in the world to get some of what I need done. I know I will go see my grandmother too. She hasn't been doing really well. I'm worried about her. I don't know if she is going to last much longer. She seems to be going down faster these days. She is so not happy in the nursing home. She doesn't want to eat and she gets upset alot and they have to give her a shot to calm her down and that makes her really drowsey and you can't understand anything she says. I get so depressed when I go see her but I know that I need to go because she won't be here forever. I sure hope that she can at least make it to see Caylee Grace. I keep telling her she has that to look forward too.

Stay tuned hopefully for good news on the house.

Me too! I can't wait to hear. I am anxious to get a call from you or maybe you can tell us today at lunch if you've heard something. :)

As we've stated earlier, EE and I will help you get your house decorated perfectly. Maybe we can paint a small mural or something somewhere in her room. :)

Aw Crystal that would be great! Sounds like a great idea. If I remember correctly there wasn't much that needed done to the house. Since it is only 3 years old it didn't look like it needed painted and I think since it is a beige color in the bedrooms, I believe it will go great with her bedding.
