<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I had my 40th wk appointment on Wednesday October 15. During that check up, there were not many signs that I would give birth anytime soon. I was dilated 1cm and had only experienced braxton hicks contractions. I was a bit anxious since I was already entering my 40th week and just couldn't wait to meet my baby. Although the option to induce labor was made, I opted to continue to wait.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Later that day, I began to get actual contractions! They started 30 mins apart and felt like bad cramping, but I could still walk and talk through them. By 4 am, Thursday, they gradually began to get 5-7 min apart from each other and lasted for what seemed like 40 secs. They were getting a bit more uncomfortable, and I started to concentrate more on my breathing. Moe, my husband, noticed I was in pain and suggested we go to the hospital. Although my contractions were more close in time, they had not been completely regular for a whole hour (like they are supposed to, to be in active labor). To be safe, I agreed with him and we decided to go. Even if it wasn't time yet, I was curious to know if there had been any improvement. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Once at the hospital, I continued feeling contractions but they were still not regular. I walked calmly to get registered and they wheeled me up to the labor unit. There they put me in a room where they monitored the baby's heart and my contractions. The doctor later came in to check me and I was stills 1cm dilated. I was so bummed since the contractions seemed promising (clearly I did not know what active labor contractions were at the time). To be safe before discharging us, the doctor asked me to walk around the hospital for an hour. The contractions were further apart and I was able to walk. The hour passed and nothing had changed, and they sent us back home. I was so upset! I had to hold back tears. The doctor cheered me up by letting me know that it wont be much longer before we meet our little girl.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The rest of that day the contractions continued to be erregular and uncomfortable. I was able to take naps. By the next morning, Friday, my contractions were way more painful I had to stop what I was doing for each one. I spent the day at my mother's house with the company of my grandmother and my 22 month old sister. As the contractions got much stronger I began to track them with an app, I had downloaded on my phone. They were getting so strong that I would sweat just holding in the pain. Later that evening, Moe came to pick me up. He saw that I could no longer take the pain from the contractions. But they were not regular enough for us to go to the hospital. I hated the thought of getting sent back home.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> We waited an hour, the pain just got more unbarable, and the contractions closer in time. I was in tears!! Moe then some how managed to walk me to our car and we rushed to the hospital. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This past weekend I had my baby shower. I was able to plan it along with the help of my aunt Angie. I wanted a small intimite party. Once we had the date, I started looking for quirky little details at thrift shops. I wanted the shower to be as simple as possible but with a little touch of vintage quirkyness. </div>

I got the jars on various of my trips to the thrift. Only paid $0.45 per bottle. The paint is Martha Stewart's vintage chalk matte. </div>

Overall, I was glad to see my family and close friends. I'm so grateful for everyone that attended. We had some yummy variety of tostadas, played games, had cake, and open sweet presents. My aunt did a great job organizing the whole event. I still can't believe that in just 7 more weeks, God willing, we will get to meet our sweet Olivia. </div>

It has been a bit over five months since my last blog post. But now I'm back! Well at least I will try to post more often again. As you can see, if you don't follow me on instagram, I am with child. Which is a whole other story. I will be happy to share with you soon. I'm currently five months pregnant. I won't find out what we are having until this coming Monday. Both my husband and I are very happy and grateful for this sweet tiny but big blessing. Now that I feel much better I hope to share a bit more about my pregnancy on the blog.</div>

So, what are some problems I have come across selling vintage clothes?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<strong>One, you become somewhat of a hoarder.</strong> Although I'm not a full time seller, the little inventory that I have has begun to pile up. If you were to walk in to my house right now you would find bags of vintage clothes in random corners. Maybe a few piles on my couch and another pile by my kitchen table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<strong>Two, you want to keep all of it.</strong> Okay maybe not all of it, only most of the items in your size. This top dress is a prime example of this problem. It was a sunny afternoon, when I was shooting some vintage dresses to post on my shop. It wasn't until a took photos of this cutie, that I realized I just couldn't let it go. I fell in love with the buttons, the sleeves, and the dots. So, I ran to my closet and took out a vintage dress that I didn't wear any more to sell instead of this. You just have to compromise if not your closet will eventually overflow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Those are my two problems so far in the three years that I have been selling vintage clothes. Do any of you have a clothing shoppe? Do you have similar issues? Do tell!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I usually post more on my instaShop over at <a href="http://websta.me/n/shopretroglam">http://websta.me/n/shopretroglam</a> or you can find me by searching @shopretroglam on the instagram app. </div>

representative. They wanted to know if I would like to review one of
their pieces of clothing. Of course I was super excited and said yes! I
had read plenty of <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">eShakti</a> reviews from other bloggers. Many with a really good experiences. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><a href="http://www.eshakti.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">Eshakti</a>
is an online clothing store that specializes on not only selling the
products they have as they are, but they can also customize them to fit
your style. There is a fee of $7. 50 for each customization. They can
customize sleeve styles, neck lines, and the lengths. The possibilities
are endless! The best part is that they sell from sizes 0 to 36w or you
can also give them your very own measurements for a better fit. </span></div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Choosing an item was not easy, <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">eShakti</a> has an assortment of styles: <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/Products/Retro%20Modern" target="_blank">Retro Modern</a>, <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/Products/Bohemian" target="_blank">Bohemian</a>, and
<a href="http://www.eshakti.com/Products/Contemporary" target="_blank">Contemporary</a>.
I narrowed it down to Retro Modern and after looking
carefully I decided on this dress. I really liked the embroidery
details. The shades of orange mix pretty well with the navy pin stripes.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The
fit is okay, I ordered a size down then what I would usually order
(that's why my chest area looks weird). It has side zipper, and very
easy to close. I love how the bodice is nice and fitted and the skirt is
full. The best part is that the lining of the skirt is also full circle and
crinoline friendly. </span><br>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The quality of the fabric is really good. I hardly buy vintage
inspired clothing because the quality is not the same to a lot of true
vintage clothing. The shell is 100% cotton and the lining of the skirt
area is 100% polyester. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Shipping was quick. From the day they shipped the order, it only took about a week to arrive. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The
only downfall, and this is on me, is that I wished I customized the
sleeve style. I was tempted to get longer sleeves, but was afraid that
they would not look okay. Ah!</span><br>

Hello, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Have you ever had so much to do that you don't even know where to start from? Well that is how I feel today. It is probably one of the reasons why sometimes I'm not even sure why I have a blog .Okay, I do know one reason. I love sharing my thrifty outfits, promoting recycled fashion, and from time to time sharing DIY's, three reasons? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Being organized is not easy period! But, I believe it is doable. It amazes me how much more I was able to get done when I was in school, working part time jobs, and helping at my local church. Now that I'm at home every other day, I can't seem to get most things done. Sometimes I catch myself trying to do three things at once. And many of us know that is not going to work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
How do you stay organized? <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyway, I have completed week three of eating better. I think from now on, I will stop counting the weeks. Especially if it is a life goal that I'm shooting for. Total count down 6lbs lost, not sure how many inches. It's interesting how men lose weight much more easier than women. My husband lost far much more than I. haha! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This fabulous vintage dress that I purchased from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DuetVintage" target="_blank">Duet Vintage </a>on <a href="http://etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy,</a> did not fit me a few months ago. I was a little nervous to try it on, but it fit! Truly one of the quirks of a successful new eating routine. </div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week! </div>

Hello,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has only been two weeks since I started eating better. I have stopped eating out, no more late night snacks, and I have been cooking more at home. And it is amazing how soon I began seeing the results of my new eating habbits. This dress for example, I bought it about four months ago. Although I knew it wouldn't fit right away, I just had to try it on the day it arrived. Sadly, the buttons just wouldn't close. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I felt extra brave and decided to try it on. It is still a bit tight, but I can sit down comfortably and not worry about the buttons popping out. I would probably not wear it out yet because of the fit and how cold it has been here in Chicago. Can't wait to try it on in a few more weeks, God willing, and see if it will fit better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so excited to continue this new journey of eating better. This is truly one of my life goals and no longer just another new years resolution. I know it has only been two weeks and we are just starting the new year, but I think that seeing that my health is at risk has really kept me motivated. It is no longer about the cute clothes, or looking thin. I just want to be, feel, and stay healthy. </div>

What are some of your life goals? What keeps you motivated? </div>

Hello 2015! I'm so grateful for this new year. I have so many goals and dreams. I don't even know where to start. This year I really really REALLY hope to lose some lbs, read more, help more, and get a teaching job. I have been looking into both failed and accomplished goals from the past. I think that by doing so, I am able to see what works better for me. Commiting to your goals is not easy, but once accomplished they are rewarding. I know that with a little commitment, dedication, and God's help I can accomplish many great things this year. </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">What are some of your goals for 2015? </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Xox Diana </div><div><br></div>

Hello, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here I am blogging about my summer looks, as always leaving everything till the end. Although, I kind of like this idea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Okay, so have you ever rediscovered something from your closet you had forgotten about or thought you wouldn't wear again? I have! I had already placed this skirt for sale on my IG store and after two weeks nobody bought it. So I took another look at it and wondered how I can make it unique. That's when I remembered that I had some pompons and I sewed those suckers on. Pompons are not that difficult to sew in. Sadly, I didn't take pictures of the process. I wish I did! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
To buy a similar skirt click <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOT-Women-Princes-Fairy-Style-5-layered-Tulle-Dress-Bouffant-Skirt-5color-/171149503817?pt=US_CSA_WC_Skirts&var=&hash=item27d94e2d49" target="_blank">here</a>, and the pompons can be found at your local crafts shop. You can also try different sizes or colors. Have fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Hello!!<br />
<br />
Funny thing about me wearing a pink dress (and for the second time this month), is that I never liked the color pink. I forget why... Anyway, the past weekend was jam packed with events. I woke up on Sunday feeling super tired. I honestly just wanted to sleep in! But, I didn't. I got up and put the first dress I saw on. <br />
<br />
This Sunday, I also rediscover the cute shoes I am wearing. The last time I wore them was the Fall of last year. Yikes! I have grown to become such a horrible hoarder. I have things in my closet that I forget I bought at the thrift (this dress is actually a good example). I can't help but feel bad about such habit. <br />
<br />
Well, all that is going to end. We are soon to be moving to our new house, so I will have to do some heavy closet cleaning. I will also have a huge sale on my online shoppe <a href="http://www.retroglamstore.storenvy.com/" target="_blank">Retro Glam.</a><br />
<br />
Stay tune for the shop updates by following me on my instagram account @shopRetroGlam. I will post more info of the sale there.<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

I hope everyone is having a fabulous day...How dreamy is my "new" to me vintage dress? When I first laid eyes on this cutie it was late at night (I tend to browse for vintage on the interwebs when I can't sleep). Sadly, I could not buy it right away. A few weeks later after that night, I was surprised to see that the dress was still available and I had to beg my hubby to buy it for me as a birthday gift. I had to contact the shop owner <a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/farfromhere?ref=owner_profile_leftnav" target="_blank">Seanette</a> for a few questions. She was very quick to answer and very helpful. I finally ordered the dress and well here I am wearing it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I loved the details of the dress from the crochet collar, to the pleated skirt, and also the lovely sleeves! I know for sure this won't be my last purchase from this shop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Please stop by Seaneete's shop<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/farfromhere?ref=pr_shop_more" target="_blank"> Far From Here Vintage </a>and take a peek at her lovely vintage items. Who knows you too might fall in love with a couple of pieces or more. </div>

Eyeglasses and Camouflage shirt <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Main.aspx?br=f21" target="_blank">F21</a>, Vintage Dress, vintage belt, and vintage yellow heels all Thrifted</div>
<br />
Hello all!<br />
Here is a funny story, I have been hunting for a strapless dress since the Fall of 2013. I even added it to my "Look For" list. Yes! I have a list I take with me when I thrift shop, mental list that is. It keeps me from buying things I don't need. So it wasn't until Saturday that I discovered this 80's vintage dress in my very own closet. I completely forgot about it since it was put away along with other summer pieces. I must have thrifted this dress about three summers ago. <br />
<br />
Initially, I have been wanting a strapless dress to style it with a white collar slouchy button up shirt. Once I found my dress, I started looking through my closet for the perfect white top to wear it with only to find out that I don't own that kind of top. Ha! All of my white blouses are vintage, with funky collars, eyelet details, and silly collar trims. So I wound up wearing it with my camouflage shirt from <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Main.aspx?br=f21" target="_blank">F21</a>. <br />
<br />
To get a better idea of a classy way to wear that strapless dress in your closet, take a look at some style Pinspiration: <br />

Most of these are styled with a white collared shirt, but don't be afraid to add a little twist. You can wear a fun printed top, t-shirt, or a turtle neck sweater for the fall. <br />

Hello,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. We have been having some nice hot summer days here in Chicago. All my cousins want to talk about is going to the lake, but since we are all very busy we haven't had a chance to plan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Upon entering my summer break, I can't help but set up goals for myself. Goals that I hope to accomplish before the fall. Its in my nature to plan 24/7. I always like to have everything planned out, even if I'm not successful in accomplishing such plans. Am I the only one? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What are some of your plans for your summer/summer break? </div>

I love that I had perfectly matching heels for this outfit, but I instead wore something completely different. Sometimes is fun not to match. It makes you stand out and unique! Don't be afraid not to match one day. Try it! If you are not sure how you can do it, do a little research online. Visit pinterest and get inspired. </div>

Only three weeks of school left! There is so much to do. So much to turn in! I'm going crazy and not doing much. I still cant believe I am graduating! Finally! Ahh! Times like these only help me push harder for the finish line. But this is not the end but the beginning of a beautiful career! I'm so excited to see what is to come. I'm looking forward to my summer break. I have rediscovered how fun it is to read and I have a line of books ready for me to tackle. </div>

With summer around the corner, I decided to take a risk and get a pair of white heels. Why a risk? Because white shoes don't stay white for too long. Eventually after a few wears they get dirty. They are not my first pair of white shoes, but these by far are my favorite! </div>

Hello!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope everyone is having a pleasant week so far. I finally found some time to squeeze in a new blog post. Yay! So for this post I decided to review my New Year's resolutions, here we go:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>1. Thrift Shop Less:</b></span>
I must have gone thrift shopping almost three times a week er every week this passed year. Sure most of the times I would walk out
empty handed and I always tried to have a budget.This year, I would like
to go maybe once every other week. My goal is to appreciate and make
the most out of what I already have. <span style="color: cyan;"><b><span style="color: red;">So this hasn't change one bit...I have a good excuse! Since I am unemployed, I have dedicated more time on selling vintage under my Instagram shop (@shopretroglam). And it has been so much fun and exciting. As you may know a lot of what I sell, I find it at the thrifts. So most of what I buy are items that will ultimately be sold in the shop. </span></b></span></div>

<b><span style="color: purple;">2. Read More Books:</span></b> My goal is to read one book a month. <b><span style="color: red;">I'm still reading the same book that I started reading last year. For this I blame school. Although, I have been more committed to reading it and I am sad that I am almost done with it, but excited to soon choose a different book. </span></b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>3. Stay Organized: </b></span>This
means no more piling magazines in random corners of the
apartment/house. I need to take care of anything that will pile up if I
don't right away.<span style="color: red;"> <b>Sadly I still have piles of magazines around the apartment. I did find them a new reader, I just need to mail them. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>4. Eat/Live Healthier: </b></span>It
hasn't been easy but I have finally cut off drinking sweet drinks on
regular days. I need to drink more water, eat less junk food at school,
learn new recipes, eat out less, cook more, make wiser decisions when
eating out, stop having seconds, and set exercise regiments. <span style="color: red;"><b>Yes, I have been doing all of the above! I have been cooking lots of lentils lately. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">5. Lose 40lbs: </span></b>That
is how much I gained when I got married. Talking about weight loss is
not easy, but there are tons of reasons for me to lose the weight
specially after my health scare last year. <span style="color: red;"><b>I am down 9lbs!</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>6.Use Savings Account: </b></span>I never learned how to save money, crazy! This is the year.<span style="color: red;"><b> I will need to work on this soon. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>7. Send More Greeting Cards</b>:</span></span> I always thought about mailing cards to different people last year, but I didn't do it.<span style="color: red;"><b> I haven't mailed a single card :(</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">8. Hangout More:</span></b> This means spending more time with my family and friends.<span style="color: red;"><b> Yes, I have been doing this! </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>9. Spent Less, Give More:</b></span> This not only relates with how I manage my money, but also with how I manage my time. I want to volunteer more. <span style="color: red;"><b>If I had more time I would volunteer more, currently I have been helping at the school I did my student teaching. It has been fun! </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">10. Spiritual Growth:</span></b> I want to continue to grow in my faith through prayer and reading the Bible. <span style="color: red;"><b>This year I have been going through some tough struggles with my health and I couldn't be more glad to have my faith to hold on to. I have definitely been growing in my faith and in my relationship with God. I need to read more, but I have been spending more time in prayer. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Woah! This was tough, but sometimes it is good to stop what you are doing and observe where your life is headed. This is something that I would like to continue to do. As a future teacher, I have learned the value of continuously reflecting on my teaching. Like wise, as a person, reflecting on my personal goals and where I'm at will help me to reach them.</div>

Happy Caturday!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You may remember Kitty-Boo from previous blogposts. She is actually a stray that I have been feeding for the past two summers. Last winter she completely disappeared and then showed up again in the summer. This winter she returned and we didn't have the heart to to let her go back outside because of all the Chicago snow and cold weather we have been having. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So far she has been a good girl. Except she sleeps all day and climbs our furniture at night. I tried to keep her awake in the day to avoid all her movement at night. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What's funny to me is how much appreciative my in-laws and husband have been towards her. At first I wanted to adopt her and take her in but they were completely against it. Now, she is staying with us and hopefully will be moving in to our new home. </div>
