not a whole bunch to report on other than we've just been pulling down wallpaper and attempting to furniture shop.  sitting on the floor watching tv is getting a little old.  :-)

i asked john what we had to report on, and he said to tell everyone that we got a microwave.  haha.  it's actually wonderful not having to heat up food in the oven anymore.  i never knew how nice it was to have a microwave until we didn't have one.

john went to philly last night to see the legwarmers (80s cover band) again and took a bunch of young adults with him.  they all dressed up and had a blast.  since i'm not feeling well consistently i thought it'd be smart to stay home (and iron all night - UGH) rather than get stuck at a loud crowded concert while feeling like dying.

i'm sooooo ready for at least one room to get completely finished.  i can't wait to have some "after" pics to post.  (yes, ellie, i definitely took before pics!)

i've got my 2nd doctor appointment on tuesday.  i'll be 13 weeks.  i hear i'm supposed to start feeling better soon.  i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

also on tuesday, oleg will be coming to spend the night with us.  for those of you who don't know him, he's the ukrainian guy in charge of an organization called radooga that does mission work with orphans and lots of other stuff.  he's the one we spent 2 weeks with over the summer while we did mission work at the orphan camp in ukraine.  it's gonna be incredible to get to spend some time with him.
