It's now July, which is a big month for us. We close on the house next week, eeek! I'm excited, but nervous that something might happen and things won't go as planned. Let's just hope everything continues to go smoothly!
We went shopping Saturday and Sunday and were able to get several things we've needed to get for the house. Even though we don't close for a week, Zane will be leaving about 4 days later, so we wanted to buy our appliances and such before that. We found everything we wanted at Sears, and they were having a pretty good sale, so we ended up getting some good deals. We bought this stove :http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02271479000P?vName=&cName=&sName=&mv=cmp
We decided on this refrigerator:
We also bought an over-the-range microwave, since counter space in the kitchen is a little weird, with the bar on the one side. We'll be better off having the microwave in space-saving location, rather than clutter up the counters with everything. Plus, the one we have is on it's way out, so that was something we were going to buy soon. We also got several miscellaneous items at Lowe's (like cabinet hardware) and bought a new dining room set, which we've needed. I'm just excited to finally close on the house and get in there and start working on it. My mind is all over the place, with thoughts of what we need to get and things we need to do. The more that gets done, the less I have to think about.
Also, my MIL has decided to come visit this summer. I don't really mind the visit, it's WHEN she is coming to visit. She wants to help us move, which seems like a great idea, until I think of entertaining houseguests in the midst of a move. My FIL will also be coming for at least a few days, and I can guarantee he won't be much help unless we're actually moving that weekend. I really wish they would come at a time that we could enjoy having them here, instead of a time that is so stressful. I can get a little stressed out having them around anyway, I'm just worried how bad it will be when we are moving too.
Abigail's birthday is coming up! This month, on the 23rd, my little girl will be 2 years old. Amongst everything else, I still have to finish getting her birthday gifts. We already bought her a bike, Tickle Me Elmo and a broom set (she loves to mimic me sweeping). I still want to get her a set of blocks, and I had a few Elmo things, like a hooded towel and utensils, that I saw and wanted to pick up. Her party will be the following Sunday, since Zane will be home that Saturday from his drill. I'm doing a Lilo and Stitch theme for it, because she is big on that right now. My mom is making a Lilo and Stitch themed cake, I won a banner, napkins and streamers off of eBay a few days ago, and now I just have to get some balloons and invitations. The balloons will be easy, I can get those off of eBay for cheap too, but the invites will have to be whatever I can find. I'm not feeling creative enough to make them this year, and the ones I can find are pricey, since the Lilo and Stitch theme is discontinued.

In case I'm not back before Friday, Happy 4th of July everyone! Remember to keep in mind that freedom isn't free, on this Independence Day, and remember the soldiers that are still serving overseas. They need all of the thoughts and prayers they can get to return home safely to thier families.
