Life.

Well, it's official. We are homeowners! We closed on our very first house together on November 19, 2009. It's the strangest feeling. We are working on getting everything together for us to move in! Sal (along with our wonderful helpers, THANKS!) has been working hard the last couple of days painting everything while I have been at work. We sort of under-anticipated the amount of paint that we would need...but that's okay I suppose...what can ya do? We got such a blessing at closing, money back actually! This could not have come a better time, because we were racking our brains trying to figure out how we would pay for school next semester. We have truly been blessed in all sorts of ways. Speaking of school, next semester I will be taking Intro to Nursing and Microbiology...I'm SO excited because I actually get to do a few clinicals this semester. Then...hopefully I will be accepted to Nursing school in August...hopefully?? As for this semester, it's almost over and I'm going to pass...YAY! Anatomy & Physiology II is a bitch! Elle is 5 months old now...oh how the time rushes on. She is AMAZING...she is trying her hardest to sit up, and just recently rolled over for the very first time :) She makes Mama so proud! I can't wait till we are settled into the house and everything is DONE. Sal has been working so hard; two jobs and working OT at home. He's a little cranky...but I understand. We couldn't do all of this without our awesome family and friends who donated their time (and a washer and dryer and fridge...Thanks Tennessee Gulizias!!) We couldn't do all of this without every one's help! We are taking family pics soon...and I will post pics as soon as I can. I can't wait...these are our first professional family pics! Ah...It's a Wonderful Life! Thanks for reading!!

I can't believe how big she is!

As of October 30, Elle weighs 13lbs 14oz and is 24 1/2 inches tall! I can't believe how big she is getting. She is changing by the second...She started solids on the 30th...Rice cereal with breastmilk...She loved it! Yesterday she had bananas for the first time and She like those too, but you should have seen her face. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I could ever love one person this much...and from the very moment I layed eyes on her. It's like everything she does is wonderful, and is just as it should be. I love everything she is and everything she isn't. She is perfect. She is definately gonna be Daddy's little girl. Every time she sees her daddy she gets the biggest smile on her face and it just melts his heart. I can already tell, whatever she wants, shes gonna get! Tonight is the first night that I have put her in her own room. I'm really nervous and I can tell you that if I had it my way, she would be sleeping in my room forever! It's really hard, but so far she is in there sleeping peacfullly.

The house is almost done! A couple more weeks give or take. We are so exctied! All we have left to do is a walk-through and close! We still need to buy living room furniture and a fridge, but other than that everything is taken care of!!

School is still going exceptionally well. The only thing I worry about is how I'm going to pay for next semester. I do not want to have to miss a semester because I can't afford it. I would be crushed! Pray that it works out for me!!
