Exciting-ness!

Well, I know it's been awhile since I last posted, so I have lots to great news to share!

First and foremost, Jason and I received an email today from our realtor: we sold our house!!!!! YAY! We received the initial offer last week and promptly accepted it. They still needed to get the inspections done, and we received the results of those today. We close April 13th! We are so incredibly excited and relieved that we were able to sell it! Yay to God! :) I've heard of people in the area who have been trying to sell homes longer than we have with no results. We're very glad that this is working out!

We've casually started looking for homes in this area, but I'm sure it'll be a little while before we actually purchase a home. All of the pieces are falling into place! :)

Jason and I were both involved in weddings over the weekend. My good friend, Karisa (from college), got married Saturday and I was one of her bridesmaids. Jason was in the wedding of a couple from church. I don't have any pictures of Jason's wedding, but here are a few from mine:





Missy and me after we got our hair done! :)

Karisa, all dolled up for her big day!! :)



All of the nuns together (Missy and I were trying to decide how long it has been since we've ALL been together--we decided it's been 2 or 3 years!)

It was a great day! Karisa and Eric are a great couple and I know they'll have a great life together! Yay for them! :)

I'm looking for a place in the community to volunteer. My favorite place so far is a horse ranch that works with handicapped kids. The place is called Horseback Haven (http://www.horsebackhaven.com/). It looks like a neat way to help kids and also do something outside and fun. I never got to have a horse as a kid. :)

I think I'll finish out this post with some pictures of my oh-so-cute nephews! :)

Shawn is playing on the pillows from the couch. I couldn't get him to sit still long enough to make a "Shawn sandwich"...:)

Zach was pretty absorbed with his trains, but I got him to stop and take a quick picture. :)

Shawn was fascinated with the camera. My mother-in-law and I kept passing the camera back and forth to try to get a picture of Shawn, but every time we did, Shawn moved with the camera. I know he doesn't QUITE understand the concept--it cracked me up! :)
