Much needed update! CHANGES!

Well here is the reason I have been a blog slacker, WE MOVED! It all happened pretty quick. We put our house up on the MLS wednesday night and had a full price offer Friday. I was sad to leave our old house because we literally put our heart and soul into fixing it up but Danny and I had been looking at this house for months before we even thought about selling our house. Luckily the people had to sell it so here we are. The best part is the kids wont have to share a bedroom and all we've had to do it paint. Also I've got lots of yard work so don't look to closely - that is still to come.
Danny stole my awesome office. In the mist of moving Danny had a company contact him and wanted him to come work for them. It is based out of Sweden with US offices in Oregon so he works from home when he is home - he travels A LOT! This should be fun when baby number 2 arrives, well see how I manage. Anyways we figured while we were making changes we would just keep going.

Ben's room, the stripes took me quite some time but I think they turned out cute and something fun and different for a kids bedroom. I was able to reuse the roman shade I made for his old room - it was a swear word project, I had to make it bigger and roman shades on a window that size, well they shouldn't be done, that's all I'll say about that.
Our bedroom, not a great picture but we love having an attached bathroom and a big closet.
One of the best parts of the new house is the amazing view in our back yard. When we showed my dad the house all he had to say was you can see the "A" I'm sold!
Ben moved into a big boy bed this month. He has done great, our only problem is we can't get him to go to bed at night because he says up looking at books.
Speaking of changes, I sure I didn't look like that a year ago! This was actually on the 4th so I'm sure I'm bigger now. As my nephew Drew says to me each time he sees me "getting bigger"
