So we finalized the paperwork on selling our contract here at Central Park and got all the paperwork in to move into Twin Pines on July 15. We are so excited. Our new apartment is a two bedroom with a lot of storage space and a real kitchen. We're going to slowly get the furniture we need because so far we only have a love-sac and a bookshelf. We'll be on the second floor, and it's actually the same apartments that our next door neighbors are moving into so we're really hoping we'll all still be in the same ward.
It's been so fun living here. We've loved having a gym, pool and hot tub at our disposal (not that I use the hot tub to much). Central Park really works to make this a nice place. The community kitchen is always clean, the lobby is so pretty (I love the real trees and other plants growing inside), and they just installed two gas barbecues and a gas fire-pit that are awesome! Also, the fact that we've been living in one room for the past few months has made every other apartment we look at look huge! We really have enjoyed living here, and we are so excited to be moving on.
We really don't have a lot of other news right now...oh, but I have felt the baby move now! Just a little, but I felt it. Next week is Andrew's birthday and a week after we'll know what we're having. We are so excited to be preparing for the baby and to be moving into a bigger place. Life is so good right now. I'm starting to feel consistently well again (I hope it sticks this time...at least for more than a week) and I don't throw up nearly as much as I have been lately (not that anyone wants or needs to know that). Life is just so wonderful and I just had to share! We are so happy!!!
That's all for now

An Eventfully Exciting Day
Today has been an eventful day in the Hubbard house. We finally found a couple who really wants our apartment. They're going to sign a contract probably later this week. They'll be moving in August 1, so we're working on getting into subsidized housing so we'll end up with more room and a lot less rent. Exciting times.
Andrew also had a job interview with a place that really likes him and he'll be doing all sorts of business-y stuff. He'd stay at Pizza Hut and the other job is a paid internship (neither of us work at the call center anymore...it was a bad fit for Andrew and I was getting really sick there) where he'd work up to 20hrs/week.
We got all the dishes done....I cannot begin to express how happy we are about that....sad, I know, but it's a real accomplishment.
And I am working on completing the Personal Progress program before the baby comes. I've been going through it and there are such great things in it to help prepare for a family and a home. I'm excited to do it all again (especially considering that I finished mine before the new one came out). It's a different experience working on this when I am already married and have a kid on the way. Plus I've always wanted to do it again.
And speaking of church, I have a new calling as the Visiting Teaching Coordinator. It's been great so far. I'm trying all I can to help get our ward more into Visiting Teaching. I was able to have a great meeting with the Relief Society president and a few of the Visiting Teaching Supervisors. And my real job right now is to record all the ideas I and my supervisors have and compile them into sort of a training manual for the new Coordinator for when I move.
In baby news, we're getting the ultrasound that tells us the gender of the baby two weeks from today. Andrew is more excited than I am (I think) and he wants a boy. I want a girl, but I really just can't wait till I can start feeling the baby. I'm starting to get a little bit of a baby bump but I really just want to be able to feel it so that I can know for sure that there's still a baby in there. I kind of wish I could just have a little camera in there to see how he/she is doing all the time. But yeah, two weeks from today we'll know if we're having a David Clifford or a Diana Mae. We're so excited.
I think that's about it for right now. If you have any advice, comments, questions, etc. don't hesitate to comment.
