I’m so nervous…

We are taking a second look at a house today. We first saw this place on Saturday and I loved it immediately and Justin did too. Getting Justin to like what I like has been a huge battle and with this one, we both just knew it was great. It is only 2 minutes up the road, so we can stay at the same school and be in the same community which is a relief.

So the house….it has 4 bedrooms (3 really big ones and one regular size one), a study, a rumpus room with ensuite and spa, main bedroom with ensuite, a dining room (aka scrapbooking room) and a great big block with no grass – just paving, decking around the pool and masses of ground covering plants. French doors lead out from the rumpus room to one of 2 entertaining areas. It is really great. The kitchen is blue, and newish, but it would need an update in due course. The 3 bathrooms are all decent, not a brown scanky 1970’s tile in site. It is the kind of place that wouldn’t need anything done to it immediately, and that is very appealing considering I will be busy with new baby in a few months time.

So fingers crossed that this is the one. We just have to negotiate the price – I don’t want to be anywhere near that conversation, I’ll leave that up to Justin.

The family party on Sunday went well. I had to give a speech and while I was very nervous I think I actually did a good job of it. Met the new boyfriend and Holly was horrified at the “pin in his tongue”, but he was a really nice guy and my sister is obviously very taken with him, so that is all the verification that I need. At one point we were having family photos and he was in it. Mum said “Just stand on the side, so in case it doesn’t work out with Kate we can chop you out of the photo”. Oh dear!!!!! He took it all in good jest, thank goodness. 210 This is everyone (minus my 2 nephews – one was asleep and one was hiding). 3 more babies on the way in the next 6 months. 18 people all up now – we will need one of those panoramic photos at Christmas with all the newies in it too.
213 And this photo is of my sisters and I. I don’t think we look alike at all 😉

I recently had a comment on my blog from a friend from uni that I haven’t seen in over 10 years. She found it by chance. Isn’t that a spin out. So now she has had a catch up on my life and I’m sure she was sitting there thinking what the hell is on the water here with all these babies that I am having!! Gotta love the blog 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Caz. Can’t wait to catch up with you a bit more.

OK that is enough for today. Have a great ANZAC Day and I’ll be sure to blog again if this house is THE ONE.
