What is going on with our family

Well it is the new year and we have a few goals we would like to accomplish this year. They are not very interesting but to us it is exciting. First we want to start fixing up our house again. We have not done anything to it for 2 years and we have lived here for three years so you can just imagine what work lies ahead for a 50 year old house. We need base boards new doors and a new bathroom all these things will make our house look so much nicer. We still need new electrical things that will make our room nicer and cleaner and safer. It is amazing what a little TLC can do. I also want to paint one a wall in our living room a bold color that goes with my kitchen that is a mocha color but I am just not sure what color would go. I will post pictures later of my kitchen and living room and you who read this can help us out with color. If I could I would paint it a burnt orange. Also we have our guest room that we need to make into a baby room. I love the color of that room so no changes there. Also I am sure I have shared with most of you that we are having another girl and I am already 23 weeks along. So pretty much six months. Soon there will be two little Brianna's running around I am sure they will be so cute together. As you all know how fun and a character Brianna is. She is just a hoot. As for her she is already 22 months old. Almost 2 already time has gone so quickly she is such a little kid now with talking, telling stories, pretending to talk on the phone, pushing her stuffed animals around in her baby stroller, running, jumping, and having tantrums that you want to laugh at cause she is so dramatic. Oh and did I mention she loves football seriously do not change the channel when it is on. She even does her own "touch down" dance. Well as for me tomorrow I will be 29 almost 30. I am almost 30 and I know 30 is not old but I think that means that I actually have to act like an adult right? Jeremy turned 30 in September it is just weird that I met him when he was 18 years old and I was 17. We were such kids a couple of years out of high school and working in a movie theater. Now we have almost 2 kids, a mortgage, soon a car payment, and bills that will never go away cause we need water and gas and whatever else grown ups pay to live in a house. Oh yeah and we have jobs and want to go on family vacations to relax and explore new things with our kids. Life is so fast!

Ok first I am jealous that you get to renovate your house. I can not wait until we finally get a home of our own. Dan I both love projects. It can be stressful but so fulfilling at the same time. I love accent walls! I'd love to help with color ideas if you want my opinion!
Second, I didn't know you were having another girl! Congrats!!!Now two girls...now how will Ben decide who he will marry? ;) wink wink
Third - Happy belated berfday!!! I always think of you during my birthday too. Sorry I didn't say it sooner. Life has been nuts. But, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
And last but not least - you might feel like you were kids so long ago...but to em it seems like just yesterday we were visiting Jeremy at the movie theatre.....you both look so great. Aughhh...we're old!!
