Temp went even higher today, which is good. No symptoms yet to discuss, of course. Though, by now, the egg is either fertilized or not. =)

Also, I got a letter today saying that I'm going to get $1800 from my old company because they're cashing out my pension. After you deduct 20% taxes, it means I have enough money to buy an island in my kitchen (in the house we're building). You see, I really wanted the island so we'd have more counter space in the kitchen, but Kevin said no because there wasn't enough room. Then, when we saw a totally completed model of our house, we realized we definitely had enough room, so we regretted not getting the island. And, since it was about a thousand dollars, which we would have to pay our of our pockets since it was too late to add it to our mortgage, it was too expensive. Now, thanks to my pension check, we can afford it! So, I think we've gotten every upgrade to our house that I wanted, including:

- Upgraded brick on front, with brick "lock" around top window and with key stones.
- Island in kitchen.
- Gas fireplace in family room.
- "Open" downstairs design.
- Finished lower level (for a total of 3,072 sq. ft.!).
- Maple cabinets (though this wasn't an upgrade, suprisingly)
- Bigger bathtub and toilet
- Pergo (hardwood laminate) floors in the kitchen and dining room

And, we've saved up enough money to buy brushed steel appliances in the kitchen, which will look so beautiful. There were a few other upgrades, like garage door opener, sink in laundry room, or garbage disposal, but those seem like they should have just come with the house, and aren't really a luxury item, ya know?

Can you tell I'm excited about the house? =)
