On houses, birthdays, wishes, and babies

The inspection of our house is tomorrow. Once that’s done and the buyer’s financing is finalized on the 30th then it’s set in stone. Yay! So hopefully the inspector will deem our house livable and not have a list a mile long that will make the buyers change their minds and back out. J’s really good about keeping it in good working condition though, so I’m sure we’ll be fine.

The only down side to all this house buying is that it’s mucking up our vacation plans. We took off the first week of August to go to Baltimore to visit Rachel & Brian, meet Lisa & Greg, go to a couple O’s games while they’re playing the Twins (J’s a big Twins Fan) and visit a couple Ikeas. But now we’ll have to use that week to move. My birthday is August 3rd and this year I’m turning 30 so I was really looking forward to a nice, long, relaxing vacation. But I guess a new house is not too shabby when it comes to birthday presents! =) Speaking of presents, I finally sat down and created an Amazon wish list. I’m so bad at coming up with gift ideas for myself and people always ask what do I want? So if a generous millionaire is reading this and would like to send presents to a stranger then click here! *This list is also helpful for sisters who need to pass on to mothers what to buy for their first born. =) I feel so greedy even posting this. Honestly, all I want for my birthday is a fun night of board games, cocktails, and laughter with my friends and family. Well that and a baby. But unfortunately for us, even after trying for a year and 4 months so far, it’s not as easy to have a baby as it is to create a wish list. At least I can hope for the board game edition of Family Feud.
