Hello everyone! Wow, I can't believe summer is almost here. Memorial Day is just a couple of weeks away! This spring has flown by...the green grass and leaves on the trees have kind of snuck up on me! I guess time really flies when you are busy, and I know we will be staying busy this summer too!
Our latest news is that we are getting our house ready to put on the market! It is time for an upgrade. I like our house a lot...we have had a lot of happy times and milestones here. It was our first house, I graduated from nursing school while living here, Brent proposed to me here, we got married while living here, we brought Piper home here, we celebrated my pregnancy and mourned our miscarriage here. This house has seen it all! But we are running out of room in this house, and we don't even have kids yet! So, we have been busy with home improvement activities over the last couple of weeks. Our goal is to have the house on the market in the next two weeks...I'm excited but nervous! I really hope our house sells. It has some nice features that would make a good first time house for someone to buy! So hopefully we'll be moving soon! There are a few houses in west Omaha that I have my eye on, but we won't commit to buying anything until this house sells. If you know anyone looking, keep us in mind! :) And wish us luck!
There will be a new addition to the Putnam family this year. My sister Lindsay and her husband Chad are expecting! She is due mid-October. It was a surprise for the whole family, but a great surprise! I am excited to be an aunt. I'm already an aunt to Kaitlyn, Preston, and Kamryn, but it's different when it's my side of the family. And I know Mom and Dad are excited to finally be grandparents. It'll be great to have a baby around at all our family get togethers and holidays! So far Mom and baby are both healthy and doing well! We will be anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Roesler this fall!
Brent and I are hoping that we will be able to give Baby Roesler a little cousin in the near future. We took a few months off from fertility treatment, and big surprise, we had no luck trying to go "al naturale." So, we are back to the drawing board. We are trying a new medication this month, so we are hoping for better results! So, everyone keep your fingers and toes crossed for us! We could use all the luck and prayers we can get!
May kicks off a busy summer for us! I am about to wrap up my "month long concert tour." I went to Blue October in Lawrence in April, and we just got back from Kansas City today. Brent and I went down to see the Killers at Sandstone (the picture is of us tailgating before the concert) and met up with Lindsay and Roz, Zach and Kris, and my friends Jenny, Scott, and Kate. It was an amazing show, and it was fun to hang out with family and friends! Then on the 12th I am going to the Billy Joel/Elton John concert at the Qwest with Lindsey and Lynelle...I can't wait! My good friend Lane will be back from AZ this month too, so I'm hoping to have a lot of QT with my girls this month! Work has been ridiculously busy. I CANNOT wait for the whole swine flu thing to blow over. I'm so sick of hearing about it and every parent in Omaha thinking their child has it! :) Softball is in full swing...I had my first game last Tuesday, and surprisingly, I did pretty well! Apparently I missed my calling as a second baseman; I turned a great double play! Hitting...that's another story. I'm hoping it improves! :) Brent will start baseball in two weeks, which he is really looking forward to, as always. Between games all over SW Iowa and trips to the lake, our weekends will be pretty busy!
Hope all is well with everyone! Hopefully next time I update, it will be with good news about selling our house! Take care everyone!
