Our new baby neice Brinley! Isn't she beautiful?!
What our house will look like when it's finished!
The cabinets we chose, throughout the house.
These will be the lights in the dining room. All of the light fixtures and hardware throughout the house will be oil rubbed bronze.

Yes, I know it's been awhile since I've blogged. We have been really busy lately, and I haven't had much time for blogging. We do have some very exciting news though, that I thought I'd share with everyone. We bought a house!!! It's a new build so it won't be finished until like January/February, but we couldn't be more excited for it! It really ended up being the perfect time for us to buy a home. The housing maket couldn't be better for buyers right now and with the new housing bill that President GWB passed we're definitely looking forward to the $7,500 tax credit that we will receive when we first move in. We just went to the design center this last week and chose our options for the house. Kyle just about had to put a leash on me because everything inside was so beautiful and tempting to upgrade to, but we tried to keep oursleves in check.
I'm back on the job search so that we can save, save, save for a really good down payment when the time comes. The gymnastics place I used to work at has offered me a job whenever I want it, but we don't know if that's the best place for me right now. It's a bit of a commute and I'd only get about 9-15 hours a week because I don't want to work during the day, and leave Chase with a babysitter. I have had one interview with a medical career placement agency and I have another one this next week. The first agency only does placement for doctors offices and private practices which makes it difficult for them to place me since most of the offices close at 5 or so in the evening. The agency I'll interview with this week, does its placement for hospitals, which would be perfect for me because then I could work a few night shifts a week and be at home with Chase during the day. So hopefully they'll be able to find a good fit for me.
Chase is turning one year old this next week! Wow, I cannot believe how fast the time flies, and that we were anxiously awaiting our little bug this time one year ago. He's so close to walking and whenever there's a will for him to be on his feet he finds a way. He's just so determined to walk! He's also been talking more. He'll copy a lot of what we say but often won't repeat it if we ask him to. He says, Mama or mom, dadda or dad, grass ("gass"), duck ("uck" or "guck"), and all done ("ah-duh").
Anyways, I think that about covers the White family news. One more thing, a BIG congratulations to my sister Christy and her husband Ben on the new addition to their family, our little neice Brinley! She's so gorgeous and sweet, and we can't wait to see her in a couple weeks, we love you guys!
