Happy New Year!

I haven't blogged in quite some time. Grad school has taken over my life, as well as those kindergarteners.

2011 was quite a year. We have a new house and couldn't be more happy.

Adam and I are finally at the stage in our life where we are almost ready to increase our family size. :)

BUT FIRST We figured we need one last trip to our favorite vacation spot... MeXiCo!

We just LOVE the company, Real Resorts. (pronounced "Reee-allll")  We stayed at the Gran Porto Real in Playa Del Carmen for our honeymoon. Best.vacation.ever.

Today we booked our vacation to the Gran Caribe Real in Cancun. We're going during Spring Break for 5 days! I am almost counting down the minutes because I'm so excited! :)

There's no place like HOME!

Our house is finished (minus a hallway or two needing painted). It's an amazing feeling to finally have a home and not an apartment. More photos to come soon!

Building a House

I haven't blogged in forever, so I figured now would be a good time to get back in the swing of it!

Adam and I are building a house! It's something we never thought was possible, because we thought we would be renting forever. As it turns out, we can own a home for just a little more than what we pay in rent. Rent is RIDICULOUS here in Centerville, Ohio. By moving about 10 miles South to Middletown, we were able to not only buy a house.... BUILD a house that represents what we want and what we like! Back in November we signed all the paperwork and made all our housing selections.

 Here's the progress so far.

They don't have all the windows cut out yet, but we were able to go upstairs and everything yesterday!
