I'm always that small 1%....

I went to the Nero today to check my eyes. He said my pupils are kinda weird. When light shines in on them, they do almost seem to "bounce" bigger, unlike normal eyes that get smaller. After dilating them and looking closer though, he wasn't as concerned about my pupils but more my retina. He think that the plaquinil drug I'm on, the one that is suppose to help prevent flare ups, is giving me the eye disease that you can get from it. (like less than 1% chance) so now I'm off to see another specialist. I'm really hoping it is not the Plaqunil. This drug has really helped me and there are not really any other options for me. I will keep you posted on more when I go there, haven't made my appt yet but it will be soon I'm assuming.

Other than that...things have been pretty good. I am finally I think over "bring sick" I've lost over 10lbs and still haven't gained any of it back. Kinda weird..but after almost 3 weeks of not holding food down really gets to a girl!

We are getting really excited for the big move in 8 weeks! The builder started finishing the basement last week so we are starting to pick out fireplaces and colors. So fun!

That's about it for now, seems like I don't have much time to write anymore! Nolan is SO busy and active and when he goes to bed, I'm too tired to write:)

We're Moving!

We prayed and prayed and prayed for our house to sell, and to find a house that would be perfect for our family and this week, within 3 days, our prayers were answered completely and beyond our wildest dreams.
First of all, One of Ross's companies he owns has decided to buy our house from us. It's perfect because then we stay 1/3rd owners of it. This house has so many memories for us, I am happy we will still be tied to the house in one way or another.

The house we will be buying (Aug.14th is closing date), had to be completly meant to be. I was looking up homes on Tuesday night and accidently hit the area out of St.Cloud in my search. Lone behold this house pooped up and I loved it instantly! Ross was at work, but I texted him asking him if Becker was too far for us to move and he texted back saying "probably." I left it alone until he came home and asked me why I asked that. I told him that I found a house in Becker but if its too far, that's ok. Well, we pulled the house up and he too really liked the pictures. We made an appt to go look at it on Wednesday night and fell even more in love with it in person! By Thursday at 7am, we had an offer it and by Thursday at 10pm the offer was countered and received and finally accepted!!! It has everything we are looking for and seems PERFECT for our family. We are so excited to start a new chapter in our life in a new city (becker is about 25 minutes from St.Cloud, where we work and kids have daycare) and a new home!!! He has answered our prayers beyond our belief! Now, we just have to keep praying that everything goes through: loans, inspections, etc! August 14th will be here soon!

Thank you to all who have prayed for us to find something "perfect!"


Here is a sneak peak of it!
