Long Post

I have been so busy lately, so I haven't had much time to write.

**The Garage**

Our garage is coming along. They haven't been able to work on it the last couple days because of needed to get our city inspection before pouring the concrete and weather. These are two pictures are after day 3 of work.





They actually have the driveway etched and put in the drain too. I haven't taken a picture of that. I hope to get another one tomorrow before they pour the concrete.

And I am so sick of hearing people say that we are not going to have a yard now that we are building a garage. Why do people feel the need to tell us something negative when we are spending a lot of friggin' money to build something that we really need. It was either this or move and I didn't want to have the stress of moving, plus, I love my house! Whatever...IF we ever go to sell this house, people are going to want a house with a garage rather than a house with a yard. AND we have a school at the end of the street that has plenty of yard room that the kids can play at. Ughh...ok, I am OK, really!!

**Baby Peanut**

We get to find out the sex of this baby peanut tomorrow morning!! I am so excited to find out this time. Last time we didn't find out the sex and I think I am more excited for tomorrow than I was at the end of my pregnancy last time. It is so strange.

Gary and I finally decided on a name for a boy and we are tossing a few girls names around. It was so nice to finally actually have fun with Gary and decide a name rather than when we would argue about what name Gary did want.

**Me**

I have been working a bunch lately. I have brought work home and went in for an extra day yesterday. It will be nice when the paycheck comes, but right now I am exhausted.

**Alyssa**

We plan on getting her pictures taken on Sunday again. I am really hoping she cooperates. I wanted to get those picture cards for Christmas to send out. Plus since we weren't able to get her 18 month pictures (since she threw such a temper tantrum), I was hoping to get these Christmas ones.

I think that is it for now. If you made it through this entire post...Congratulations...LOL!
