Home much sweeter home

I don't have any pics to post but I do have a lot to say. Things have been progressing quite well since we decided to stay in ND. Yes, Brittany, there was an opening in TX and of course we wanted to be closer to family so we were for sure going to move there.. obviously until Brian visited. So..
We have been attending EBC,Evangelical Bible Church and I am really enjoying it. I am not sure Brian is 100%satisfied, but I believe it is the best in town. The people are becoming friendlier and I am being as outgoing as I possibly can. We met a great couple, who happen to be OU fans (so rare up here) and we really like them. They are our age and of course don't have kids but we get along great. They are both natives and she actually knows Anne Hullinger- how crazy is that?

Anyways- we were invited to our first game night on Saturday and we had a great time! I think people liked us... hopefully. When we left Brian said "so I guess there are people like us up here." It was nice.

Then, today I decided to host my own playdate. I love play dates and I think they are necessary for my sanity!!! Especially if Brian is having a busy work week. I passed out little hand written notes Wednesday night at church and we had 3 moms come- woo hoo! I always get nervous when hosting an event that no one will show up. So that was 7 kids total. It was great to play in our huge basement or what I like to call Toys'R Us. Baker had a lot of fun. We can tell that he misses interaction so I am trying to get him involved. He loves to go to church and they gym. We have been going to this thing at the rec. center called Kid Fit. It is really for 3yr olds but Baker does okay. They run and play lots of imaginary games and throw balls. It burns energy.

Baker's 2nd birthday is Saturday and we are excited to celebrate. It will just be the 4 of us but that is okay. It's hard to believe he is 2 and I have 2 kids now and some of you that were at the hospital when Baker was born STILL DON'T HAVE ANY! It's okay though- to each his own.

So, just wanted to let everyone know that things are looking up socially. As far as house hunting goes... I don't have anything positive to say. We found a house we loved, made an offer, raised our offer, and then they accepted someone else's. All during the first day on the market. It's like a war for a house. Anyways they are just different up here. Not many people have master baths and NO ONE has a one story. They are all crazy levels. Brian says the Lord has a house for us and we will see. They are much more pricey up here but that is okay. I just don't know if we will get one in our range. But, like my dad says- we have time. We like our rent home just fine. I know some of you are.. on the nosy side (like myself) so if you want to see what we are looking at then the website is

If it has an R beside it, it means it is under contract. So... yah. That's all. Just wanted to update
