Houses, jobs, and babies

All is going well with us. Nico left for Detroit last Saturday to start the new job!!! So far, he seems really excited. He is surrounded by car guys (and gals) which means he’s TOTALLY in his element. I miss him, but the fur-babies and growing tadpole are keeping me occupied.

He did sound a little bored in his motel room today, but hopefully we’ll hear back about the house we put an offer on and he can move out of the motel. Check out the house here. Please note the uber tacky faux finish in the dining area. If we get it, we will be promptly painting over this.

Our house in P-burg is almost complete. We have a few small things to do before we put it on the market, but it’s starting to look awesome. I would like to give a huge THANK YOU to all the family and friends that have helped us with the house. We love you all and hope to be able to return favors!

The tadpole turns 23 weeks on Wednesday. He (yes, I said “he”) is kicking me like crazy. He’s either going to have ADHD or be a rugby player. I’m hoping that he’s more athletic than me, but laid-back like Nico. And no, we can not agree on a name. Nico likes “Zelig” and I like “Luca”. Suggestions are welcome, but don’t be offended if we disregard them.
