Need a place to live???

We are looking for someone to sublease our house. We have a lease until December but have found an amazing deal on a great house that we have a contract on to buy. (Another blog post to come on this blessing.) So we are needing someone to sublease our house through the remainder of our lease..and they can continue the lease if they want to stay longer. And..they can move in pretty soon if they need to..definitely before school starts. We don't close until Sept 5 but the sellers are willing to let us move in early if we find someone to rent our house. Ok, so here's the details:

House is at 101 Moss St (Corner of George Bush & Texas)
3 bed/ 1 bath/ 1 car garage
huge backyard
hard wood floors throughout
Rent $700/month

This house is so stinking close to campus! It would be great for college students or a family. If you or anyone is interested, please let us know. I can't think of anymore details but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. You can call me 409-201-5676 or Matt 979-229-8721 or email me. Please spread the word to your friends and keep your ears open. Thanks wonderful friends and church family!!
Love you all, Matt and Larra Palermo

Oh What A Night!

We had such a GREAT time last night. About 60 ladies from our church dressed up like characters in the movie Hairspray. We went to see the movie and then went to Cafe Excell for dessert. I must admit..I was very hesitant about going. When my awesome mentor and great friend Lynsey invited me to go, my first response was no way! The thought of dressing up like someone from the 60s and parading around town was terrifying to me. However, after a SECOND email from Lyns...and some prodding from Kirby, I finally decided to go. And I'm so glad I did. It was so fun to have my hair teased and dress up like Penny from the movie. It was great getting to talk to girls that I don't see much, and getting to meet new people. Here are some pics from the evening:

Check out Heather's blog for links to all the pics from the evening. There are some great ones!

Thanks girls for "dragging" me to Hairspray. It was a blast!

(there's a new baby post below too!)

Its Growing...slowly but surely

This pic was taken Saturday, Aug 4. I was 11 weeks and 5 days. Now I am over 12 weeks and through my first trimester. I've made it over the first hurdle..2 more to go! It has been rough..but very worth it. We thank the Lord every single day for what He has done in our lives over the last 10 months.

I love that I can't fit in to any of my own clothes...and that all the pants I wear have been given to me by friends!

So now on to the fun stuff! We find out next month if we are having a boy or a girl and we've had a few requests for a poll. So..what do you think? Boy or Girl? I have absolutely no idea..no instict at all telling me what I have inside!
