What to talk about!

I orginally started this blog to document the process of building our first house. We wanted everyone to be able to follow along with us. Well the house is finished and we have been there for almost a month. We have a lot to do to get it the exact way we want it but we love it. Barley has a had a difficult time adjusting but is starting to warm up to it. I think my mom spoiled him way too much while we lived with her. Now that the house is done I wondered what I would blog about...of course there is one thing that consumes my thoughts-our journey to trying to have a baby.

We actually started this journey way before we started building our house-over a year ago to be exact. It has not been an easy journey for me or Michael. It has been filled with a lot of really low lows but we are hoping and praying for the best. We know that God has a plan for us and is in control of the situation. We both have had several tests done to see what the deal is and everything always seems to come back normal-which is great but it is also frustrating because we always end up exactly were we started-with no real answer on why we can't get pregnant. I have had every test you can imagine done and have had so much blood taken I don't know how I have any left. I have not been myself these last several months but Michael has been so suppportive. I would not have been able to handle all of this without him. He will make an amazing father and I can't wait to see him finally be a daddy. We both can't wait to be parents. So I guess this is where this blog will go from here-our road to trying to conceive a little Vaughn.

SNOW

A few weeks ago we actually got snow. That doesn't happen here very often-especially enough for it to stick. They cancelled school so I got the day off. Of course by the time I woke up at noon it was all gone but Michael got up early and took a few pics!

Appliances

Michael and I are so excited about our new fridge, washer and dryer. The fridge is the one he wanted-we lucked out and shopped on the right day and got an amazing deal. The washer and dryer is what I wanted-especially red ones! Michael told me I could have them if I did his laundry-no I didn't do it before-I know I am a terrible wife :) I love them but I don't know if they are worth having to do his laundry-haha!

A Few Pics

Here are a few pics of the house. I still don't have anything on the walls or everything put away. Hopefully after we get back from our trip I can get some things done.

Name Change

I finally started the process of trying to change my name. Yes-I know it has been almost 9 months since I got married but I am just now getting around to it. Of course when you go to another country to get married it takes a long time to get your marriage certificate. 7 months to be exact. Oh and did I mention it is in Spanish-yes Spanish. They did send it to the US Embassy to have it translated into English. A few things were lost in translation-under marital status for me it said spinster-I had not idea what that meant and had to ask someone. For those of you who don't know-it means old maid. I guess Costa Rica considered me an old maid-real nice! Anyways I have been looking forward to changing my name for a long time-I always hated having the name Tolson that I can't believe it has taken me this long. I didn't realize that there are so many things I have to change. It's not just my license and social security card-it is a whole mess of things. Maybe by this time next year I will officially be a Vaughn!!
