WE GOT IT!  WE GOT IT!  WE GOT IT!

almost 8 years of marriage and we own our home!!  it makes me cry just typing it! 

we took our first load yesterday – in the corolla!  and my honey is at this very moment at walmart getting stuff to fix stuff and i’ll be loading the corolla for load number 2!

the payments are less than we pay for rent and it’s beautiful.  did i mention it’s ours?

soo…  the next item of business…  when are you people coming for a pre-baby post house-buying party at the parkers?  you better hurry – baby’s on the countdown!  and it has to be a potluck because i can’t bring myself to cook for my kids, much less anybody else!  (and if you bring enough for left-overs i might could just freeze the food and actually have meals post-baby! – this party thing is sounding better by the minute!)  holler at me – i really do want to have everybody over (you know, as easy as that is for everybody!).  just let me know.

and by the way, did i mention i’m a homeowner?
