Big Changes!

BIG CHANGES!
We are having a baby the first week of July and we are in the process of buying a house! I get wonderfully useless when i am pregnant and so for the last several months I have been MIA Sorry about that!

A few things we will be working on as far as baby goes, is trying to be more enviromentaly friendly. We are talking both the nature, world, save the whales kinda environmentally friendly and also the home environment Home environment Especially is more friendly when we are not spending a fortune on something that goes straight in the trash so we are seriously considering cloth diapering. Well if that does not sound ambitious enough my dear mother and I are also planning to try to make the diapers our selves because we are just that crazy! Let's see how it all works out!

House! 
House house house!
We are buying a HUD home so that basically boils down to buying a normal house but instead of a person or even a bank owning it, it is own by the government! And anytime you are dealing with the government...... well it is certainly a learning experience!
Last time we bought a house it was the old fashioned way, from a regular person and it was so much simpler. Assuming everything goes according to plan we'll be moving in a few months or less.
Things I love about the house  6! yep I said  6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
bedrooms! halleluiah!
And it is only 5 years old so there are not any big stuff wrong with it. We had a very thorough inspection done and everything is looking pretty good, the house has been vacant for a long time so it is filthy and needs a ton of small stuff that does add up BUT it is so much better than just about everything else we have looked at and it is so much bigger, we are getting just under 2300 square feet of space ! yay! 
It is far from my dream home but considering our limitations and options I'm extremely pleased.
A few things i would do differently. The floorplan. it is odd and I wish i could pick up the house and shake it about and rearange everything. I wish the yard was bigger. I wish the area it is located in was nicer including the schol that the kids in theory will be attending, and I wish there was a real grocery store somewhere close.I have not found anything other than strange looking corner stores so far, and a bunch of auto repair places.

Big Stuff! More details to follow!
