We Got A House!

Most of you know our BIG NEWS, but for those of you who haven't seen us lately, Jon and I have bought a house!  We close October 3rd, three years to the day that we signed the papers on our house in Indiana and moved to Pittsburgh.  Some how this seems to be an appropriate ending to our "transition" period.

The house is located in Gibsonia, PA.  It's roughly 7 minutes from my parents and not far from where Jon now works.  For those of you who are wondering, we did not pick this house because of how close it is to my parents, trust me when I say that was the LAST thing on our minds when looking for a house.  The house is 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 2 stories!  It also has a great yard.  The house is on the older side, so there is some updating we have to do, but the house is in great shape otherwise.  We are very excited to close.

In the mean time, my parents and I have begun collecting up our stuff in their house, organizing, repacking, and pitching stuff so it's ready to go when we get the house.  We also began pulling stuff out of our storage unit in order to clean it up and decide whether we want the item in the new house.  It's almost like Christmas!  I've found things I completely forgot we owned, like our blender!!!  Needless to say, its a tiring process, but it will be worth it in the end.

Julianna is doing well.  She is definitely two!  Potty training is going great!  She has learned to tell us when she has to go and has had very few accidents.  The biggest issue we have now is hitting.  Luckily, she only hits us and not other children, but we still have to tackle the problem.  She spends a lot of time on her "time out" step.  I just hope she gets less stubborn as she gets older, but she probably won't.  =)

Well that's our update!  Hope you all are doing well.  MUCH LOVE!
