Comparative Pictres and Easter Egg Hunts

So I have though hard and long about putting "in progress" pictures up on the blog....but after a lot of thought I figure what can it hurt! I can always use them to push me harder toward reaching my goals right?? So as I was trying to find a "before" picture, I realized that I am almost always the photographer, so finding a picture was VERY difficult, but I did find one from my brother's missionary welcome home..... So here is the before:

And here is the "so far" :

Probably not the best pictures to choose, but I didn't have a tun to choose from....oh, well maybe better ones will come!

Today was also Easter and it was a pretty good day! We went to Church with my parents to the Derry ward...I figured this would be a good dry run for when we move, since we will be moving into this ward. The kids did fairly well so hopefully it will be a smooth transition! After Church we went over to the Ingham's for dinner and an Easter Egg hunt, it was a lot of fun! The we just hung out, which was nice. The kids ate WAY too much candy, but it was Easter after all.....

We found a house!!

So a lot has gone on in March, so I figured it was time to fill everyone in...

First and foremost.....WE FOUND A HOUSE!! We are very excited! And I will post some pictures in a few minutes. It is a three bedroom one bath open concept ranch with a loft. I think it will be perfect for us. There is a lot of storage and a cute little yard for the kids to play in and there is a community beach at the end of the road for the kids to play and swim! Another good part is that it is only 5 miles from where we live now so no one really has a longer commute to school or work.

There is also a two car garage, that you can't see in this picture, which is AWESOME!! We had our home inspection yesterday and didn't find anything that would cancel the sale, but there were a few things that need to be fixed so as long as everything goes well we a re scheduled to close on April 29! YEAH!! Although we all know how good at waiting I am...NOT! But for this I will have to be patient!

Let's see what else has gone on this month....oh, yeah...we battled the flu at the beginning of the month; the only one to make it out unscathed was Haylee...lucky girls.

Aidan and Cora also celebrated birthdays. We didn't do anything exciting, but we did get to go to the playground....

And since it is the end of the month it is time for my March instalment of the weight loss challenge... As of this morning I was at 209.8! I think I may have been heavier than this when I got married!! Oh, how bizarre! I am contemplating having Jesse take a picture of me to post since I am about half way to where I would like to be.....but I am not sold on that yet....we will see what next month brings!
