Overwhelmed!

So, my faithful readers, I apologize now for this short post after over a month of not posting. I just need to get this post over with, per my type A personality, because there is so much I should have blogged about in the past month and I'm overwhelmed with it all! So, here is a quick synopsis of our life:

-we bought the house, closed on February 29th
-we love our house! we say this everytime we drive up :)
-picked a contractor (this week!) to remodel the kitchen, demolition should start in a week or so :)
-our brother in law did a fabulous job remodeling our bedroom and bathroom
-I will be posting before/after pics, please don't worry :)...that's just a longer post at a later time!
-I absolutely love my job. I started my own rotation and now independently provide all speech therapy needs to 3 floors of the hospital (GI floor and 2 general peds floors). LOVE IT!
-Ultimate frisbee ended for Caleb the first week of March. No worries, he still has goaltimate on Wednesdays, ultimate on Tuesdays, and practices starting up again in May for Dallas United (his club team). Oh yeah, and basketball on Wednesdays. Man, I have a fit hubby!
-We got a Wii. Enough said. Chances are if you hang out with us on a regular basis, you will become familiar with the nightly Wii Wood competition.
-Caleb is beating me bad in our march madness brackets. Looks like I will be playing disc golf on my new few saturdays off....
-My 1/2 marathon is this Sunday (like, less than a week!). I'm nervous, but I ran 11ish miles this week and know I can do 13 :). It's more mental than physical, right?!
-I'm not pregnant. Don't plan to get pregnant anytime soon, but Caleb did tell me that when I think I'm ready, he'll set the alarm for me to wake up every 2 hours and hold a flour sack for 30 minutes. When I've done this for 2 weeks, we'll talk about getting off birth control! Haha, this is random, but I don't want to forget our quirky conversations :).
-I'm still practicing slowing down and living an unhurried lifestyle. It's going much better. Now, if only Caleb could be okay with my unhurried lifestyle when we're running late :).
-we're picking out our granite, cabinets, and tile this week.....in 2 hours! can you imagine us, the most picky, thoughtful, cant-make-a-decision-in 2 weeks-forget-2-hours type people? whew, I'm overwhelmed just thinking about it. Pray for us from 3-5 on Thursday if you think about it :)

Allright, so it wasn't a short post, it was a long, rambling post. I feel better now. That's what it was about. This blog was a guilty burden on my shoulder that has now been lifted. Whew! Off to meet with my fabulous decorator friend at the new house! Oh yeah, we plan on moving in late May, so hopefully pics before then!
