Gearing up....

What a weekend it was!  We are gearing up for many upcoming things (some of which have started since I'm a late blog updater!)

Gearing up for....summertime swimming lessons!  Ella started Level 1 swim lessons at the outdoor pool yesterday.  She goes every day this week and next week (and then that's it for Level 1).  I was REALLY worried about it yesterday since we're not there with her.  But, I got a text message after the session yesterday and she did great!  Even blew bubbles in the water!  Hurray!  Jay couldn't get her to do that for anything during the parent/tot class they took earlier this year. 

Thanks Sara for sending me pictures from this morning!!

Side note:  This is Ella meeting Raven (the dog) & Ron Schara (from Minnesota Bound) during an event last Thursday in Farmington.  She was so excited!

Gearing up for....finding a house (and moving)!  As of Friday, our townhome has a purchase agreement pending.  The Buyer inspection is this afternoon, so we're anxious for that to be complete so we can confirm it's moving forward.  I told Jay yesterday that I'm having a tiny bit of Seller's remorse.  We went out on a short house hunt Saturday morning and I left completely discouraged.  The inventory on single family homes in Farmington is pretty minimal (we're thinking we'd like to stay in the Farmington school district).  Anyway, we'll see what happens.  I'm sure we'll find something, right?!

Gearing up for....meeting our newest nephew!  Baby Harrison was born yesterday!! (Parents are Annie & Andrew)  It was a difficult past week for them  - a lot of back and forth trips to the hospital - so I am sure they are exhausted but so excited too!  We can't wait to meet him!

Gearing up for....lunches from the food trucks!  Working downtown in the summer has some big perks like being able to hit up the farmer's market on Thursdays, and now the food trucks are back!  Last week I tried an empanada truck.  Delicious!

Friday night Jay & I had a date night - we went to see The Great Gatsby.  We were both surprised at how much we liked it.  There wasn't much to choose from to see!!  It was a fun night to relax after the stress of getting a PA signed up on the townhome!  Now that the weather (fingers crossed) is going to stay summer-like, we're ready to hit the pool and parks too! 

Stay tuned as we continue the house hunting!
