We are in the final hours before Colleen’s arrival.  We have to be at the hospital at 5:30, which means getting up around 4:30.  But I doubt either of us will get much sleep.

In less than 12 hours she will make her appearance!

The babymoon… she is done.

Emily hates this photo. I think she looks cute.

This afternoon we have to leave Hilton Head for the drudgery of home. We’ve had a great week of doing absolutely nothing! Hanging out at the beach, reading by the pool, and eating lots of seafood (and ice cream). Probably the first vacation we’ve had where I wasn’t itching to get home after a few days. It’s also the last vacation we’ll have as just the two of us – though I can’t wait to take our baby along on the next one!

We’ve got walls and everything! About a month to a month and a half left until we can move in.

New Home Construction

Doesn't look like much yet. Just a square of cement at this point.

After a frantic month of putting our home on the market, selling it, packing, and moving out – all in the midst of Thanksgiving/Christmas, Emily and I are now homeless. We’re currently living in my mom’s basement (insert joke here) and having to make a much longer drive to work, but I’ve gotten used to it pretty quickly. Having an abundance of podcasts to listen to helps quite a bit.

The good news is, the construction on our new house in Spring Hill started last week. According to the builder, it should be done in 60 to 70 days, which is pretty incredible. I like not having a mortgage payment, but it will be nice to have the home done so quickly.
