:: Random Ramblings ::

I don't have much to write about, but was feeling guilty about not posting for a few weeks! So here are a few ramblings about what's been going on lately in the life of Laura...

- Josh and I have decided to sell our condo. We've put ads up on Craigslist, I posted pictures on Facebook and of course, word of mouth! We've had a few "bites" so far and I find that promising since it's only been a week! We would like to buy a house with a basement suite we can rent out. Our preference is to stay in the same city we're in... but are willing to look slightly (very slightly, like on the border) to our neighbourning towns. We know God has a plan for us and our future family, and feel that this is the next step to take! It's exciting to think about where we're live next and that we'll raise our family there... at least for a little while ;) But I'll have to admit that I'm a little sad at the thought of moving out of our condo. I love it there, and it holds so many precious memories from our first year of marriage. *sigh*

- We got a pretty decent tax return! This excites Josh and I so much - we will see our Visa balance at zero, pay off our PVR (a very worthy investment in our eyes! :)) and put some into savings (which we're building for our down payment!) So all around, good news! :)

- I got my eyebrows threaded. The town I used to work in had many places to go for threading, but I haven't found a new place since I left that job. Through another blog I tried out a place just 3 minutes from where I live -Cedar Hill's Beauty Salon - and I love it!! She was super nice, did a great job, and it cost $2.99!! Yay! I've gotten so lazy with tweezing lately and waxing irritates my skin... so this is the perfect solution :)

- I am so excited about the new babies being born over the next couple months. Overall, there are 11 babies due between May and July, to women I am friends with, and 8 of these will become mommys for the first time too! More to come further on in the year too :) What a joy it is to welcome a new life, to celebrate with the parents and family, and to have a new one to love. And one of these little ones will make Josh and me an Uncle and Auntie for the 6th time... Josh's sister Niki is due in 6 weeks! Will we have our first niece or our 6th nephew? :) I also get to be "Auntie" to Crystal's little girl, due at the beginning of June - can't wait!! The list goes on of course, and all these women hold a place in my heart - I am so excited and happy for them!

- Josh and I are both settled into the jobs we started in the Fall. It's tough right now as our schedules conflict and we don't have any days off together :( But the bright side is that we both enjoy our jobs and the companies we work for. It'll get better one day... we pray it's soon! Until then, our limited time together is very sweet and we appreciate it so much!

That's it for now! Hmmm, I guess I did have some things to write about... ;)
