We FINALLY have news of the closing on our North Dakota home! Guy and I have been apart for over six weeks now....much longer than we'd originally thought! I can't begin to say how excited I am to be back together as a family. I definately have a new found respect for military families....and This isn't even close to what they experience! Being apart from a spouse is certainly not easy. This would have been horrible had we already had kids. With all that being said...
Guy will be touring our completed home on Thursday. He'll take pictures for me, but we've already talked about the specific things he is to look for that we'd put in the contract and that were on the original house plans already. As long as everything passes his approval, he will sign the closing paperwork. The bank will then overnight me the paperwork and I will sign and have them notarized. Once the bank gets the paperwork back from me, we will officially own the house! Then comes the coordination of the moving company. Guy won't schedule the movers until he's seen the completed house, just incase something is wrong and we won't/can't close. He always said that if something is to go wrong, it will because he's Guy Aman and that's just what happens to him. It does seem that things tend to go wrong for him. Once the movers are scheduled, he will come back and help me with the move and load things up that the movers won't take between our two vehicles. Guy can make the drive quicker than what I will be able to, I will have to stop about every two hours to walk so I don't end up with a blood clot...the joys of long-distance traveling while pregnant! Hopefully we will be able to do it in a super long day, but not sure if I'll be able to swing it or not. My mom is supposed to be riding with me so that'll be a huge help.
For almost the last two weeks Guy has had some much needed company. His/our dog, Barley, was lucky enough to be reunited with his daddy. Guy has a buddy who goes to ND hunting every year, just south of where we'll be living, and offered to take him up there. Barley rides around with Guy in his truck everyday and they have done a bit of hunting already. Last weekend Guy's dad and brother were up there hunting with him and Guy said Barley did awesome. I'm glad Guy has had some company as I know I'd be lost without having Fitz or Kipper around.
I'm just over 25 weeks along in my pregnancy and everything is still going well! She is kicking more and more....and I'm loving it! I can now have my hand on my stomachache and feel her when she kicks...I'm so looking forward to Guy feeling her as well!
Once we have the official moving date I will let everyone know. I'll also pass along our new address. Please continue to pray that these next two weeks go by smoothly and safely.
