So this may come as a shock to a lot of you, since it was pretty much out of the blue, but...
WE JUST PUT OUR CONDO ON THE MARKET!!!
Yeah, it's true. Ever since we first started living here (almost two years ago), we have been looking at options for our next place. It's not that we don't like it here, we actually have grown very fond of our little condo and especially the ward we are in. But if you know Darren, this won't come as a shock to you. You'd think once he bought a car, he'd be happy with it for a while, but I swear... the next day he's online checking out cars that he could buy. Apparently it's the same with our home. Maybe it's a guy thing?? Anyways, back to the condo. For the past little while, we've been rearranging our rooms and de-junking to try and find space here for the baby. It hasn't been easy. Then we started talking a little more seriously about our desire to have a house. We figured that we should try to buy a house while prices are so low, since (hopefully) we won't lose too much if we sell our condo (which is comforting in such a terrible market!).
So this is how it came about. We saw a house online that we wanted to check out (which, by the way, we won't be getting) and called up our previous realtor who immediately put things into action. This isn't exactly what we were expecting, but within a few days of talking to her, our condo was put on the market! Weird how things happen with one little phone call!
And yes, we ARE crazy for putting our place on the market right now. Especially since I'm due in less than 3 WEEKS!!! It seems like every time we have something big happening in our lives, EVERYTHING happens. Last time it was getting married, my family moving the day before our wedding, Darren starting a new job and buying and starting to remodel our condo. At least we get things over with all at once! :)
Anyways, with the market the way it is, I'm sure we'll be here for a while. But it will be nice to have the first three weeks (which are apparently the most busy) done with before we have the baby... unless, of course, I pop early! Guess we'll just have to see what happens! But when things feel right, you've just got to do them! It's fun having things so "up in the air" and not knowing what our lives will be like in the somewhat near future. We'll keep you posted on any action... assuming there will be any... :)

Go Diego Go! Nice choice!
That is so exciting and crazy. But then again both times I have been prego we have moved both times, and right after the baby was born. Like two weeks after so I couldn't enjoy my new born. Life gets crazy the deeper you get into it. Good luck!
Sounds fun!! I like your current place. Really cute, but I am sure the house you get will be even more wonderful! It looks like we will be moving to Georgia in April-ish.
oooh i love things that are crazy! That sounds so exciting, good luck! What city are you guys looking in? I can't wait for babytime to start yaaaay!
BRANDI!
Aside from the fact that it is SO freaking exciting that you are going to live in a HOUSE and a baby is on the way... i was looking at the pictures of your condo online and in two of the ones of your living room i believe go diego go was on your television.

i love you girl and i miss you!
My goodness, you two sound like Philip and I. We're always looking for the next step. Good luck to the two of you! Hope you find the house of your dreams! =)
