One week away...

Well, we have come to the time where it is one week away from us being in Florida. Hopefully, I will be feeling better by than and have shaked off whatever it is I have caught. The crazy weather changes doesn't help either.
The kids are doing well and are excited to see everyone in Florida. We will see how they feel after the long drive we take. LOL.
I drove out to our house today and have to share this bit of news....WE HAVE A MAILBOX!!! I'm so excited. All that I have ever known since marrying Brien is a community mailbox. I am so looking forward to having my mail right outside my house. He is a picture of it. You can click on the picture to see it up close. Then just hit backspace to return to the blog.
Also you can see by the picture that our driveway is done also. We have a road based driveway, then concrete into the garage and the sidewalk up to the front of the house.
Inside, they have started to put the trim in and now we are waiting for the cabinets. Then they will probably finish the trim and then painters will be soon. Once the cabinets are 100% done then we should find out our closing date. Very exciting but also very stressful.
Well, that is all for now. Got to get to bed now since the medicine is kicking in and I'm getting sleepy. LOL. Can't wait to see everyone...won't be too much longer now.
Miss you all.

Craziness....

That is the word for the day, week, month, etc....LOL

Why? One reason, I have 4 weeks left in the semester and things tend to get insane at this point. Another reason, house stuff. The finished putting up all the brick on the house, drywall went up and then texturing was done just the other day. Craziness of starting to pack boxes when I can. Craziness that we will be driving down to Florida for Thanksgiving. Not only to be with family and friends, but also to get Brien's seats and interior stuff for the VW bug that Brien is going to restore. The most craziness thing about our trip is the fact that we will be bringing along not only the 2 weird children we have but also the 3, yes 3, dogs that I own. LOL. It will make for an interesting car ride.

Halloween came and went. We carved pumpkins of course. One was Darth Vadar that required etching more so than carving and Brien handled it nicely. The other was Tow Mater and I took care of that carving. We had a smaller pumpkin and I used my Mickey Mouse pumpkin cutter to make Mickey heads all over. Tyler was Boba Fett and Hunter Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars. Although, when we went trick or treating, if you watched Hunter from behind, you would think he was more of a Jawa instead of Obi Wan. The only thing that kept him from looking like a Jawa was the light saber. Pictures on our my web albums and here is the link to it. Also if you look on the folder marked house pictures, you will find updated pictures of the house. http://picasaweb.google.com/dalspots4u/Halloween?authkey=_0_VbvgmGdo

Well, need to head off and get Tyler ready for Cub Scouts. Hope all is well and look forward to seeing those that we can during Thanksgiving. Miss you all.
