One Day 'til....

First off - our apologies for no recent posts. Our computer went out and since then we've been getting all of our programs reloaded on the new computer. Hopefully you don't know how it is because it's a pain.

Anyways, tomorrow is Sofía's first birthday. Jeff and I have been eagerly awaiting the day and can't wait to celebrate with her. There is something to be said about anticipation. I love how the excitement grows as the marked day nears. Your imagination mentally creates the event and how it's going to play out. For me, the anticipation is just as enjoyable as the actual experience. I like how the Webster's dictionary describes anticipation as "the mental attitude that influences a later response."

So what other events are we anticipating? The new Harry Potter movie. Jeff and I bought tickets for the midnight release. There's something to be said about watching a movie with crazy, devout fans. I love the energy in the theater. No, we're not going to dress up in costumes. Although, we would if we could. Jeff has finally read the books and so he can't wait to see this sixth movie and compare it to the book.

We're also very close to buying our first home. We put an offer on a short sale and so we're just playing the waiting game with the bank. If everything goes well we will soon be moving in to the house by the end of summer. Gulp! While I'm looking forward to having our own place I also realize the cost in time and money of keeping up a home. It's scary but will be well worth it.

We'll be sure to post pictures of Sofía's first birthday. Happy Fourth of July!
