We're Still Alive

    I keep hoping that waiting to post this week will allow me to share news with you. I've put it off long enough though. We heard back on our appraisal and the house is worth less, a lot less, than the seller wanted. He spent a couple days thinking about it and is now trying to fight the appraisal to get more money... Our closing date is supposed to be tomorrow though. It's really not over until it's over, sigh.... We're sincerely hoping that we'll be allowed to buy this house still. Our backup plan is to immediately find an apartment and move there. Hopefully I can tell you more next time. Now here's some highlights from our lives:

*I picked up all of my stuff for graduation. It's so close! I also am down to my last 45 hours of my internship.
*Tim's been drawing away for a personal project he has. He'll hopefully start working on sketches for Spencer's room after that.
*We finally found some scraps of fabric to make a quilt for Spencer that goes with our nursery theme: dragons, castles, knights, forests, etc. It's pretty difficult to find that stuff right now!
*Tim pretended to be a Nephite one night.

*It got cold enough to turn off our fans and that I can wear long sleeves!! Tim will shiver in the morning but I think he's just playing around for the most part.
*I learned that I can now rest a single Starburst on my tummy, but not a fun size Hershey's bar yet.
*Spencer has decided that night time is the best for moving around. I think part of it is because Tim's around. When I lie down, he'll start kicking or nudging me at exactly where my stomach is touching Tim. He knows! This has resulted in more sleep disruption for me, but I'll accept it for now.
*My belly is also resulting in me getting dressed the "pregnant way" since bending over is starting to hurt. Plus it just doesn't squish.
*I learned that Spencer also likes country music! Yes! Something to classify him as my son too haha. Tim argues that he's trying to get me to change the station, not dancing around to it.
*Tim's been having lots of fun playing video games with his brothers. He does it every night now and I think part of it is that he knows we'll be moving one way or the other soon.
*I learned that eating a snack helps me stay awake during my classes instead of drifting out of consciousness while taking notes. This has resulted in me breaking chips into small bites to eat just so that it would last me all of class.
