Well, it's finally here. After a few weeks of packing, we might actually be ready. We are moving tomorrow!
Which means that we'll be offline for a few days to a week.
Once we get back up I [should] have everything in order again and have lots of wonderful things to tell you all. But then again, we might still be living out of boxes!
See you in a week [or maybe less]!


btw, today is Dad and Mom's [Jacobsen] 25th wedding anniversary. Feel free to send them congrats!

We have a new home!

...I mean, an apartment...

On August 28th, we will be moving into our new home on the north side of Cincinnati (closer to work)! The apartment is 10 min. from work (Liz calculated that up to be saving me 12 hr's of driving a month, she's really likes that) and it will give us a lot more room (2 bd. 2 bath); almost 3 times the room we have now (400 sq. ft. to 1,100 sq. ft.!!). There are washer and dryer hookups in the apartment which will be a lot easier for Liz, now that she is starting to really "look pregnant." We are very excited about this move and the chance to get everything set before the baby arrives. Oh, and we can paint the apartment any color that we want, so Liz is starting to pick colors for the baby's wall/room (how cool is that!!) Anyway our new address, starting the 28th, will be:

11651 Norbourne Dr. Apt. #714

Cincinnati, OH 45240

God Bless

Liz and I visited IKEA! (for the 2nd time)

Today, Liz and I got out of the apartment and drove 30 min. north to visit IKEA! We both LOVE that store!!!! So many great things to see and all for great prices too! Anyways, the best part about it was that we left IKEA without buying a single thing!!!! (I think I should get a prize for helping Liz accomplish this great feat! :-)). But we did stop by Starbucks and pick up a coffee and Strawberry water and munch on PBJ sandwiches in the car. All in all, a very good day.

Just to let everyone know ...
