We're excited that Brenden's first birthday party is tomorrow. We've been so busy that we haven't had time to plan much for it - we just realized tonight that we're not sure we'll have enough food and we didn't plan any activities for the kids. Oops.
It's been a wild week. We had a great time taking Brenden to the Evansville zoo for his birthday. It was SO HOT! Then I started work the next day, which is going well. The office manager is a hoot to work with and it seems like a very busy office, so I shouldn't get bored. It's tough not knowing much of anything yet. Every time a customer asks me a question I probably look like a deer in the headlights.
I also have to start studying to get my insurance license. The agent I'm working for wants me to pass the test in the next 30 days. I'm not really sure how I'm going to manage that since every second of every day is already booked up. The house is still in that "just moved in" stage and it's taking a lot of work to get the paperwork together for the mortgage company.
Chase Bank is the worst bank we've ever dealt with. We need teller-stamped bank statements for the mortgage company, and Chase refuses to mail them to us. Luckily (sort of), there's a Chase an hour away in Kentucky, so I have to make a road trip tomorrow morning before Brenden's party to pick them up. Sigh...

Wild Times
We had a very busy, overwhelming day! I go back to work in two days, so today we visited another daycare and met with our lender to start the paperwork process. We both really liked this daycare, and they actually have two openings for Brenden's age group, unlike the others we've contacted. We had a good feeling about it and I feel a lot better knowing that there are cameras in all of the rooms. I certainly hope I never feel like I need to review the footage, but I like that the teachers know someone is watching.
Meeting with the lender was totally overwhelming. I went alone (Adam hasn't found a job yet so the lender wants to put it in my name only) and I felt like I was flying blind. We've heard great things about the mortgage company and I feel confident this guy knows his stuff, but I felt so nervous with all the numbers and paperwork he threw at me. I have a bunch of documents to pull together for him and it's all very nerve-wracking. I'll be very glad when we close and this process is finished. I'm so nervous something is going to fall through. But on the bright side, we're getting a great rate for a great house.
Brenden's first birthday is tomorrow! One year ago I was sitting in a hospital bed waiting for the inducement to take effect. I remember how when the contractions started up I thought, "this is no big deal, what is the big fuss about?" Then I woke up the next morning to the real gut-wrenching contractions, and the big adventure started there. It's still hard to believe sometimes that we're parents! Our whole lives have changed so much so quickly, it's like a whirlwind.
We're looking forward to taking Brenden to the zoo tomorrow as a birthday treat. Happy Birthday to our little miracle!
