Changes

The month of May brought us many changes. Some were unexpected & others were planned. First I will start with our garage. It all started one night when we got home & the garage was making funny noises. Well Mr. Fix-It (aka Austin) couldn't just let it go so he decided he would fix it. Meanwhile I am in the house bathing Jhett & getting him ready for bed when I hear a big BANG coming from outside. I ran out to find the garage door completely dented & slightly off the track which by the way was bent! I of course started to freak out, which then led to Austin yelling, which led to me crying...you get the picture, not a pretty one. Well needless to say we had to get a whole new garage door along with several new parts for the opener. This was a change NOT planned for. Well then we had to paint the garage, which I was fine with because I wanted to paint our front door. So off to the HOA trailer to get samples of approved paint colors. As Austin & I talked we decided to paint all the pop outs on our house the same color as well. We wanted to do a brown & picked out a color that we liked. So Austin headed to Home Depot to get the 2 gallons, came home & started painting. The dang color looked PURPLE not BROWN. I was so angry! This paint couldn't be returned & I did not want a purple house. So we picked out a different color out in the sun this time & went back to Home Depot & bought more paint. A whole lot of stress, a week with out a garage (due to price shopping & next available date for someone to come out), lots of paper & tape, an entire Saturday, 4 gallons of paint (2 which were unusable), & nearly $800 later(that just makes me sick to my stomach), our house is finally put back together.

Oh how it will look so good once we redo the landscaping & I get all my cute flower pots & such out on the porch. Someday...someday.


Next I decided to cut my hair.

And last but certainly not least...
My ever Growing & ever Changing belly!
I now have to be seen every 2 weeks. I did not gain any weight in the last 2 weeks, still at 161 LBS. It's getting closer to the end. I'm so excited to not be pregnant anymore & even more excited to meet my little Tredd!
