I know I feel off the wagon for a minute. With the move and unpaking it has been a bit crazy. I finally feel settled. So I will try harder at posting. I am going to post pictures of the house very soon. Owen and I have both been very busy with work. We are so lucky! It is reunion wekend in Idaho and we aren't there. Is a bummer but a lot of money has gone out the last few months. So next reunion we will be there. I wish I was on the lake. This weekend is going to be a blast because my MOM is coming and I am super excited:)

Progress!

Look at my bare floors! We are having them refinished! This is after being sanded. They replaced 25 boards, making my floor perfect! I was reluctant to spend that amount of money on one job but because of a miracle We decided to go ahead and have them done. I think it is going to make a huge difference. We where going to try to do it ourselves but after talking to so many people they said it is a big job and takes a long time to do on your own. So due to lack of time, patience and energy we hired a really great guy. If any one needs wood done Byron is your guy! I will post pics of the finished job!

This is it. Do you see that SOLD sign!

House Update

So We are in the hurry up and wait stage of the home buying process. We are so close to the end. But my loan officer says that the bank is backed up. It's paper work. It is a little annoying because we are trying to schedule work to begin but can't until we close. So we found someone for a fair price to refinish the wood floors. I am so happy.

We are still going to try to move on the 23rd. Even though it doesn't give us as much time to paint and do some other stuff. But we can move stuff into the Garage, Kitchen and Den. As well as the Shed. So if the floors aren't done then that is the plan. I am trying to avoid paying rent longer then I need to. The house is almost packed up and should go fairly quick. Unlike our last move. I told Owen we are having help this time. He agreed.

So we hope to close by Wednesday , Friday by the latest. So keep us in your thoughts!

Noun Catcall: a shrill shout or whistle expressing derision or disapproval, as of a speaker, actor, etc.

I am not fond of the catcall but twice today I was somewhat catcalled.

The first MAN shouted at me from across 5th Ave downtown, "Man your gorgeous! Keep smiling and think positive!" So I smile back, I have to say it was nice to hear. I think he was a little off his rocker so I just laugh and keep on my way.

Then the second MAN wasn't so much a catcall but I thought it funny that the same thing happened to me in the same day. So he is holding a sign, Please help, God Bless. So I roll my window down and offer him a ziplock with peanuts in it. He said, Thank You, Man your pretty!

I replied, "Thank you."

So as I drove home I thought what was it about today? Was I just around a few guys that liked a kind face or did they want to catcall me? Or just trying to be nice?

The funniest thing is that I didn't really feel like myself today but it didn't seem to matter.

At least I now know I still got it. Hee Hee
