What have those Watts been up to?

We've been a pretty busy family these last couple of weeks, and I haven't been in the blogging mood, so I figured it's about time I update our blog. So brace yourself for a little review on our family happenings lately.

On Valentines day the three of us ended up being sick and we weren't able to get a babysitter for Kaleb, but we didn't let that stop us from doing a little celebrating. Jarom took us out to a yummy dinner, and after we wandered around the mall and played some games in the arcade. It was a fun night!

The next week was our 3rd year anniversary which we celebrated with another amazing dinner at Tomato Street (an Italian restaurant), which has now become one of my favorite restaurants. Also in the same week my incredibly amazing husband ended up being on the news, 4 times!!! How did he do that you ask?... By breaking 2 Guinness book of world records of course!!! For those of you that don't know, Jarom enjoys doing soap bubble performances on the side. He's become very skilled at making soap bubble shapes, and performs some bubble magic, which led to the title of his business BUBBILLUSIONS. You can see some of the things he does on http://www.bubblemagicshow.com/. The two records he broke was for 1. The worlds largest soap bubble, and 2. the worlds longest soap bubble chain. It was very exciting to see Jarom up on stage performing. The local newspapers also posted some articles about him.

Then on Friday Feb. 27th we got the keys to our anniversary gift to each other... That's right, we bought the house, and moved in on the 28th!! We are so happy that everything worked out so that we were able to get this home. We feel so grateful for this amazing blessing, and are also grateful for those family members and friends who helped us during the home buying process and for helping us move in. The move went very well, and now it's time for unpacking.

So hopefully that explains our blog neglect lately. It felt like everything was happening at once, and we are glad that most of it is over! Phew!!

House Pictures

The house was inspected yesterday and it's looking good so far. Yay!! The inspector didn't find any major problems. The water won't be turned on until tuesday though, so we'll have to check back then to make sure the pipes didn't freeze and that the plumbing is in good condition.

Now for the moment you've been waiting for... here are some pictures of our potential first home. It has a split level entry, which I'm not a huge fan of, but can live with because I LOVE the rest of it! Here is the living room, we really like the windows.
And the kitchen, which I'm sure I'll be spending lot's of time in. I've always wanted a kitchen that has a window overlooking the back yard. Here's the view from the kitchen window.

It also has a deck and a big back yard with a garden.


I really enjoy the view of the sunset from the deck.
Kaleb is a very big fan of the house, which is also very important.Right now it has 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a 2 car garage. It has the potential for another bathroom, bedroom, and family room in the basement.
Thank you for all the good luck wishes. We hope it continues to work out, we'll keep you updated on the progress.
Have a wonderful week!!
