Life has sure been busy here. Summer is in full swing at our house. The kids. have been home and hubby is on 2nd shift so they are keeping us quite busy. Been spending lots of times hanging out with new and old friends, and family.
Work is busy as ever and about to get even busier since the girl i work with is having a baby anyday so it will just be me trying to do it all.

I love...

lazy Saturday afternoon watching Nascar and chillin with the family and dogs while hubby cooks dinner... life is good

that's all....

have a great day!!!

I try...

to get on here and post more but life just seems to get in the way. Last weekend was absolutely wonderful. We got to Indiana about 4:30 and got checked into our hotel room. We got settled in alittle bit and then decided to head out for dinner. That was an adventure in itself. We just drove and drove and drove and finally realized the place we wanted to eat was really about 2 blocks from our hotel. After dinner we went to the bookstore and Meijers and then just hung out.
Saturday we got up early and went to breakfast at IHOP and then to the campus which was only about 5 minutes from the hotel. The campus was absolutely beautiful. Everyone was so nice and helpful. We walked and walked around the campus just taking everything in and then went to the game which was awesome. We met up with our friends at the game and afterwards went out to dinner and then called it a night early.
Sunday we got up very early and headed up.
This week was busy at work but good. We finally got our papers signed for the house but of course we have hit another little bump in the road with our old mortage company so hopefully we get that taken care of Monday and then be done with them forever.
This weekend we are playing catch up, cleaning, grocery shopping and lots of hanging out.

We got it!!!

Woohoo the appraisal came in right where we needed it to be. Can you say relief!!! It has been such a weight off of our shoulders. In other news I had a doctor's appoinment Friday and I have a double ear infection..oh for the love of god are kidding me?? I am almost 35 years old and this is the third ear infection I have had in about a year and a half..oh goodness. We have had a good weekend. Went out Friday night and shot some pool with Jim and MaryJo, Saturday Kylee and I ran some errands and did alittle shopping. Today is all about just hanging out at home, cleaning alittle, paying some bills and getting ready to go to Indiana next weekend.

Have a good one!! Peace and love!

Today is the big day..the appraiser will be back and we have got tons of things done to get ready for her. Then in a couple of days we should know whether we got what we wanted this time. Still crossing those fingers. Today is gonna a busy day at work. Joey won't be there so I'm all by myself..ackkkkkkk!!!

It's been a good weekend and it beautiful today. Last night we went out to MaryJo's to hang out and play some pool, then got up this morning and been cleaning, went to wal-mart, cleaning some more and now chilling out watching the race. The appraiser will be here Wednesday at 3:30 so hopefully by the time we go to Indiana (which is in a couple of weeks) we will have our refinancing all done.

It's so nice out we got to go for a ride on this...


Friday, April 04, 2008

First of all today I took a vacation day..woohoo.. I love 3 day weekends. We met with our attorney this weekend and got good news (not great but good enough) which we then took to MaryJo at the credit union. She called the appraiser and this might work out. Crossing fingers again..basically we need our appraisal to come in about 7 or 8 thousand more. Hopefully the appraiser will be here next Wednesday and then we wait for her report. So things are looking up and I am just going to keep thinking positive thoughts right now.
Right now I am off to Wal-Mart to get paint for the bathroom and I just know it's going to be a great weekend because I get to see this baby boy...

But this sums it up perfectly..
Let's see appartently we are 120,000 on a house we only paid 121,000 for 9 years ago so there is no refinancing Thursday, my car battery died and we had to replace it at the cost of $90 bucks and apparently all honda have a theft deterent that locks out your radio and you need a code which of course I don't have. Didn't I say it, if it wasn't for bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all..I think I'll just go crawl in bed and pull the covers over my head..will someone let me know when this shit is all over with??

Lazy Sundays..

I love lazy sundays..got some housework done, a nice quiet bath, dinner in the crockpot and now just sitting here watching the race.. today I am going to just enjoy this and tomorrow it's back to the rat race..





Fun Party

Last night I went to a fun party at my neighbor Nikki's house. I intially didn't want to go. I was just tired and looked horrible but she persisted so I went and had a blast. Saw old friends, met some new friends, drank way to many jello shots and just had plain fun. I did spend alittle bit of money and am so hoping we do a couple's party next time.

A year ago today..

my dear friend Brooke lost her father. I can't believe it's been a whole year that he's been gone. I am such a horrible friend I honestly completely forget to call her today and make sure she was okay. I hope she knows I think of her everyday and to Tony..I can't wait to see you again someday..until then I know your up there riding your harley and laughing at us for all the shedding of tears we have done now that your gone.

The waiting game..

The waiting game really sucks..yep we are still waiting on the payoff on the house. I did find out it was mailed Thursday so were hoping to get it today but now have to til at least Monday. I am really hoping that this all works out but like I said in my previous post we have the worst luck so nothing would suprise me. So hopefully Monday everything we will fall into place and we will know for sure. Our fingers are going to hurt from keeping them crossed for so long.

TGIF....

It was a crazy busy week at work, which is to be expected since it's the end of the month but wow thank goodness it's over.
I also thought I would update on the refinancing. We are suppose to close next Thursday @ 4:00 but are still waiting on our payoff on the house so still keeping fingers crossed. This has just got to work for us. We have had so much bad luck and are just hoping to turn things around.

Well that's all I have for now..here is a picture of Logan and Ryan. I keep telling Ryan it's so sad that no one loves him.

Friends..

These are our friends..yes they are goofy but they are fun and together we always have a great time. We started our weekend at Matt and Brandy's house and after dinner last night ended up at our house. We are always here for each other and would drop anything in a moment for each other and that is true friendship in my eyes.

This is PJ's best friend Tom, he is mostly a permanent fixture at our house.
This is our neighbor Scott.
This is Dave and Angie, our motorcycle riding buddies.

And last but certaintely not least is Matt and Brandy. PJ's cousin but they act more like brothers.
