Over half way there!!!!!

Finally, I have had some time to sit down and reflect on life.  It has been a long time since I have posted a blog so there is a lot to fill in.  I am sure by this time everybody knows that our little nugget is a boy and we couldn't be anymore excited.  His name will be Aaron Jonathan Prebish.  We have been working on painting the nursery and picking out all of the things to go in it.  The paint is pretty much done and the furniture has been purchased.  I can't wait to start getting everything put in there and getting it set up.  My mom is going to make the bedding for us so that will come sometime next month.  I promise, I will post pictures, but not until it is done :)  We have decided we wanted to do something different than the baby blue and brown that most nurseries are done in so we have gone with bright colors; like Jon says, "Think a box of crayons".

Jon and I are starting to get very restless as we finish up our respective grad school programs.  It has been a long time since I have had senioritis like this, and it is bad.  I am currently working on two classes and will finish them the beginning of May.  After that I will take one mini-mester for the month of June and then I am DONE!  Jon, is much more fortunate than I am, he will be done in May.  He has been working on his capstone class, the final project, since January and will begin is last 8 week class next week.  Both of these classes will be done in May and he will have his MBA!  I am so proud of him and his perseverance in working through this program.  It is crazy to think of all we have accomplished over these last few years while working and doing school, however I will not be sad to see that business come to an end.

Another change that is in the works is the the exciting move of my parents.  My parents have talked for awhile about downsizing eventually and we are excited they have decided to do so a little closer to us.  They didn't live too far but it was a good 45 minute drive from their house to ours.  My mom has so graciously offered to watch Aaron so that Jon and I can both work and not worry about having to send him to day care.  We are so excited that we don't have to face that difficult decision and feel it is a blessing to have them moving closer. Their house was on the market for a wopping 4 days and they had 4 offers!  They have been busily working on downsizing their belongings and moving things to storage for their approaching closing date in early April.  They are building a house near us that is also in the works but won't be done for a few months so they will be our house guests, and assistants for a little bit.  Selfishly, I am very excited about them being here when I am big and fat to help with things.  I have no idea how women to some of life's chores through their whole pregnancy.  I am almost 6 months pregnant and am already struggling doing the grocery shopping, and yes I know it gets much worse.  Thankfully I will have my mommy here to help :).

In February Jon and I celebrated our one year anniversary and it is amazing how fast time flies.  We are very excited to be taking a late anniversary/babymoon trip to New Orleans the beginning of April to celebrate.  We are looking forward to some fun time to just play and be visitors while enjoying good music and food.
