No complaints here

It's February 6.  I'm sitting in what was once my older sister's bedroom, wearing shorts and a t-shirt and I have the window open.  Man, I love California.  We have had some super nice weather these past couple days.  I actually ran the A/C in my car today.  I think we're due for a tiny bit of cooling down, but I'm not complaining.  I love sleeping with the window open especially when there's a breeze.  Idaho, I don't miss you.

Ryan is going to begin his second week of work and he's loving his job.  How grateful I am that 1) he has a job and 2) that he likes his job.  I bore my testimony in church today of how Heavenly Father knows what challenges we need, as well as what blessings we need, and he provides them to us as he sees fit.  We have recently been on the receiving end of some great blessings.  We have had some dark times, but the light at the end of the tunnel is beginning to show.  We've had kind of an odd thing happen lately too.  We recently found a condo in Sac that we want to rent.  It's huge and at a good price and will also let us do a month-to-month payment instead of committing to a year long lease.  We like the landlord and he likes us too.  We filled out the application so the landlord could run our credit report to determine if we're gonna be bums or not.  Guess what?  Apparently we don't exist.  After running our info, he got information back that our names and socials don't match up.  What the?  We have no idea what is going on.  I've got credit cards and plenty of debt so I know I've got some sort of credit score.  The landlord even checked for us on Facebook to make sure we're who we say we are.  It's just so odd that nothing is coming back for neither Ryan nor I.  It's holding up our chance to move in too.  This condo is available immediately and we'd hate to have someone else snatch it up.  I'm only a LITTLE anxious to get out of my parents house and get to nesting.  And speaking of baby, this little dude is moving around so much!  I'm entering my 6th month and already feel like I'm waddling and having to plan my movements in bed so that I can turn from one side to the other in less than 20 seconds.  I've gained about 20 lbs. already which isn't terrible, but I've still got a little ways to go and I know more weight is going to be put on.  I just hope I don't have to deal with the terrible swelling and stretch marks on my feet like I did with Zoe.  And speaking of our lil' Toaster, there's some pictures below of her.  She's blabbing all the time and is really into her Signing Time videos.  We love signing with her. 

 Her first time on a moving sidewalk.  We were at Phoenix airport and about to embark on what was the worst plane ride of my life.  I hate Pattie the stewardess.

 Climbing on the furniture at the library.
Loves ketchup, just like her mama!

Valentine's Day is coming up and I'm getting Ryan a surprise that he isn't going to believe.  I doubt he'll be reading this before V-day, but I can't risk putting on here, now, what the surprise is.  I'll be sure to let you know after the cat is out of the bag.  

Wish us luck in getting this condo!
