Decision 08

Not that the race for the White House isn't front page news, but we have even bigger decisions to make this year! For starters, we have to get names picked out! We really only need to choose a girl's name, but if you ask Lou he'll say that since he's convinced we're having a boy why bother picking out a girl's name. With all bias aside, we actually did decide on a girl's name over the weekend. James Rena Lawrence. Yes, that is James. I had never considered James for a girl, but my hair stylist, Ción, mentioned that one of his clients was naming her little girl James after a European Super Model, and who doesn't want a Super Model in the family?! It made more sense when you consider that Lou's middle name is James and mine is Rena, well a slightly strange way of spelling Renee, bygones. At least I think it's pretty! I also came across an awesome baby bedding website where I found the perfect bedding!!!!! I found two that I totally adore. The first is a black, white, and camel bedding with all sorts of patterns and looks very European. As a matter of fact, it has a travel theme to it. This will be my absolute first pick if we have a girl. I also found a unisex set. This may come as a shock to some of you that I picked a set with frogs on it! At least they're cute frogs. This one also has a sorts of patterns and textures.

Since Ryan will be moving in in another few weeks we've also tackled the task of trying to sell some of our stuff to make room. We're trying to sell our workout equipment, our big corner desk, my old bedroom suite from my apartment, and we may even sell or donate our couches. I found another couch that I just adore and would prefer it over what we have. We spent the weekend painting, which is always a drag!!! Ryan was in and helped by taping while Lou plastered. I tried to Kilz a wall , but the fumes made me so light headed that I stayed to the couch after that. I think we decided to hire someone to finish the hallway since it is too much a pain in the butt to do ourselves.

We decided after much discussion to not go through with the purchase of the Carmel house. It was a beautiful house in a great location, but the more we thought about it the better our location is for us. We really have 4-5 years before we seriously need to make a move, so time is on our side.

We're getting exited about our appointment next week. I can't wait to see our little critter again! It feels like ages since we last saw it!!!
