what has been going on..

moving: we are finally going to be moving into our new home. after several weeks of our closing date being moved back because of different complications coming up. (needing a new roof, windows painted, and locks put onto the windows in kitchen) our new closing date is going to be this wednesday, november 12th. we are extremely excited! the plan that we were originally going to do was not move in right away and paint the house. since we have been waiting so long we are just going to move in and paint later. i can't wait to have our own place and be able to start getting stuff ready for costin.

the house: our new house is perfect for us. it has two bedrooms on the main level and one room down in the basement that we can use for a bedroom later on down the road. there are two full bathrooms, one on the main level and one in the basement. the living room has a fireplace! we also have a two car detached garage. there are two apple trees and a pear tree in the backyard. we've already met our new neighbors and they are extremely nice. God has blessed us with an awesome place to live! i'll put pictures up once we get settled in.

a possible new job: right now i am looking into a new job for once costin is born. so far it's looking great! if i get this job.. i'll be babysitting for a couple who have a seven month old baby and be able to bring costin. i have been praying for something like this. i'm going to go today and meet with her so we can talk everything over. i pray all of this works out. the family also doesn't live too far away from our new home.

changes..

i decided to start an online journal because i use to journal all the time and got out of the habit of journaling. i miss it so much and decided that it would be a lot easier to keep up with an online journal.

a little about me: my life has done a lot of changing over the past year. God has blessed me with so much. an amazing husband, a son on the way, and a new house. i am truly blessed.

briefing: i was married may 30, 2007 to my husband, marcas. i call him marcas (his middle name) but his first name is philip. when we met that's what he told me his name was and that's what stuck. :) we have now been married for just over a year and we both love it. we are madly in love and now are going to be having our son in late january or early february. i'm hoping he'll be a february baby but God has that all planned. i'll just be thankful when he gets here and is healthy. the date or month doesn't matter. i love being able to feel a little life growing inside of me. his favorite activity so far is using me as his punching bag. it's one of the best feelings in the world.. as crazy as that might sound. (i guess it's a mother thing, haha) i can't believe that i'm going to be a mom in a few months! technically i am right now but I think it will set in more once i see and can hold him. we are going to be naming him costin augustine boyer. The meaning is: costin and augustine mean the exact same thing. we found out that costin comes from constantine which comes from augustine... to regard with respect, reverence, or heartfelt deference. we didn't plan that. we both thought that was neat how that happened. marcas came up with the first name and his middle name was picked out by both of us. we are extremely excited!
our closing date for our house is october 29th. hopefully, we can get everything packed and ready to move by then. we want to try and get everything into our new home by november 2nd. not much needs to be done with the house other than painting. we are going to use the first week for just painting and decorating. i can't believe we are going to have our own home!
