Work Out
I started going to the YMCA a little over a week ago every morning (except weekends), to start trying to get some of the 50+ lbs off I've gained over the past several years. I've always heard it makes you feel so much better, but I never believe it. But wow...it's amazing how much better I feel, how motivated I feel, and how it seems to help me cope with things better. Hopefully soon, with the workout and cutting out the hundred Pepsi's I would drink per day, I will start seeing the inches and lbs come off too:)

Sisters
I was going through some pictures and found some of the twins at 16 months old. Kinsley doesn't look like her sisters. I think they look more like Shane and Kinsley more like me. What's your opinion?

The Start of Something New Part 2
We finally got our options, lot, and all that fun stuff chosen. We narrowed our almost $38K worth of upgrades down a little, made our offer, and they accepted:) YAY!! They should start building within the next few weeks and it will take about 3 months to build. It is a slab home so they throw those things up so fast. Here is the floor plan we have chosen and the lot:) We opted to "upgrade" the game/bonus room to a 2nd master bedroom for more than reason, and we will have a side entry garage but otherwise things should be as they are listed. We are very excited about this new journey.
Some of the options we did away with:
*Tile in Bathrooms/laudry (can do later)
*blinds (we can get cheaper)
*upgraded sink and tub faucets
*tile shower (we are going fiberglass)
Some things we stuck with:
*Hardwood all downstairs except in the office/den/living or whatever you wish to call it.
*Upgraded lighting because the house we live in now has TERRIBLE lighting
*Upgraded carpet and carpet pad upstairs (should last longer)
*Stainless steal applianaces (we went back and forth about this one, but the day we signed the contract, they started new promotions and one you could choose from was a free "dream kitchen" package which included the upgraded appliances.
*2nd master bedroom upstairs
What are things you can or can not live without. What do you wish you did have or did not have? We have 10 days to "change" our minds so any opinions would be helpful!
Here is what it will look like. Of course, we picked our own brick, etc.
Kelsey and Kaley's "boyfriends" whom also happen to be twins live in the house you see in the picture so needless to say they are all very excited!

The Start of Something New
After months of waiting, we FINALLY got our loan approval yesterday to purchase a new home. Mortgage companies fear giving loans to "contractors" becuase and that was exactly what Shane was/is. We started the process back in Nov. and thankfully, the company Shane is working for was in the process of switching their "contractors" over to actual "employees" and the transition took place mid Jan. After getting all of that paperwork to the lender, they finally sent us our approval letter yesterday. WHOOOO HOOOOO!!! I'm so excited!
If numbers work out and the builder agrees with our offer, we are building a home in a neighboor hood not too far from where we live now. I never knew when building a house that EVERYTHING seems to be an "upgrade" Seriously, when we got finished with our wish list of upgrades, it added $37,000 to the price. Geesh! Needless to say, we are cutting back on our "wish list" . Some of the things we can upgrade at a later date, such as tile in the bathrooms, laudry room, etc. We have an appointment tomorrow with the builder/sales rep once again, and hopefully we can all come to an agreement on numbers and options and we can get the ball rolling.
