Hall of mirrors

This blog is a mixture of our travel adventures and our new family adventures.
The title comes from a dumb blonde high school girl on a tour with us in Versailles who asked this question in every single room of the Palace.
The picture was taken while on our Honeymoon in China, on the Xian river.

Closing

Tonight we get to sign MANY papers. 5:30 the stuff to give our house away, and at 6:15 the fun stuff to get our new house. We get the keys in 4 days! Whoohooo!!! I am beyond excited, I'm now at the point (already!) where I can barely sleep at night. I'm really happy we have one last walk through on the house on Saturday afternoon. I really cannot wait to let Ares run around it and see his 'new house' for the first time. He's past the 'new shoes' phase (because he's had the shoes for 2 weeks now) and now he runs around our current house screaming 'new house! New house!'.

I'm also excited that we have a lot of people able to help us move, as well as now I can have my son's birthday party at OUR house! (Last year we had it at my parents' house). Thank goodness that's still a couple of months away, as I don't have TIME to plan that right now. At least I know it's going to be themed with some sort of vehicles, as the kid is OBSESSED with cars/trucks/trains/planes/helicopters etc.

I got about 3,000 kisses from Ares last night. It was amazing. It's funny how he only has a handful of matchbox cars in our house because all of his toy are packed away, yet he's been as playful and happy as EVER!

I had my PE or annual review yesterday. I had only been at the company since the end of April, but I was VERY happy with my review and my increase. It beats (by FAR) the last couple of years at Progressive. Thank goodness. Life is great, I can honestly say (aside from the couple of lbs I could stand to lose) that I wouldn't change a thing. =) (Well, OK, I do wish we had enough money to have a second child soon, but I can handle waiting a few additional years - it'll probably take me that long to convince Adam we need another- HA!).

So for 45 minutes last Thursday, you were technically homeless. That's a horror story that Adam will be able to blow out of proportion & tell Ares about later in life.

LOL, that's true!
