Guess What?

We started our house!  Ok actually we just took the large deposit check over last night so that they can start building (it's always kinda scary writing large checks like that).  Now they are going to spray paint exactly where our house will sit on the lot and get our approval and then they can start building for real!  I feel like we have been waiting forever.  I am so ready to move into that non-existent house already!  Anyway, real building should take place starting next week.  You had better believe I am going to take lots of pictures of the progress. 

And you know what else?  Dan and I have been using those new tennis rackets like crazy!  We played 3 time last week and once this week.  We'll probably go again tonight.  It is so much fun!  I think it's the first sport I can actually win every once in a while.  Maybe that's why i like it :).  Dan is too good at every other sport.  Luckily with this sport we are both beginners so it's almost equal (he's still a little better).   

Lastly, my parents are visiting this weekend.  Yay! :)

Spoiled

Today I am posting about Dan, again!  Because he is just so awesome!  I must start off by saying I am spoiled and I'm not afraid to admit it.  In fact, I like being spoiled :).  I am 100% fine with this.  So here goes my awesome husband story for the day....

Yesterday after Dan got off of work he decided he needed to get me a mother's day present.  I told him I was not a mother and it was not necessary.  But he told me one day I would be a mother, so I needed a present.  I really think he just likes looking for excuses to get me presents :).

Later that night during FHE Dan told me he wanted to give me my mother's day present (he does this every time he gets me a present, he hates waiting to give it to me!).  I told him it wasn't mother's day and i wanted to wait until Sunday to open it.  He proceeded to tell me the sooner I opened it the sooner I could use it.  Eventually I gave in and decided since I wasn't a mother I didn't have to wait until mother's day to open it.  So he brought it out, wrapped like this...

... in a quilt we have.  That is definitely my husband's kind of wrapping job!  I think he is just trying to save the environment by not wasting paper.

I honestly had no idea what to expect.  But he ended up getting me something I am soooo excited about:

 Tennis stuff!  A racket for him, a racket for me, & tennis balls.  I cannot wait to play!  I just barely learned how to play a few weeks ago and I loved it!  The weather is going to be in the 80s and 90s this week so we are really hoping to play a few nights.

Thanks Dan for the tennis stuff!!!  You win the best husband ever award :).
