Our New House!

We are officially homeowners! We won't actually get the keys until Saturday b/c we did a lease back to the sellers through Saturday. So, although we closed, it won't seem real until we actually get the keys! We aren't acutally moving Memorial Day. Logistically, with the boys, school, and baseball games/tournaments, this was the most convenient day to move. Closing was so easy and painless. It literally took MAYBE 45 minutes. We were in and out of there so quickly!

Funny story about our final walk-thru on Tuesday. The sellers have a cat and well the cat was just hanging out near the front door (inside). As we were trying to leave, the cat kept trying to get out. Our realtor went out first as Jason tried to hold the cat. By the time Jason and I were trying to get out the door, the cat darted out the door and ran down the storm drain in the street. We were freaking out! Jason could see the cat, but it wasn't coming back. Our realtor called the seller's realtor to let him know what happened. He did say that the cat sometimes goes outside. I was still worried and didn't want to just leave. Finally, we saw the cat in the neighbor's yard and I called it. He came to me and I picked him up. He started squirming and Jason came and tried to take him from me. The cat almost got away again, but we successfully returned the cat back inside the house! WHEW! It was funny in the end, and truthfully the owners should've had the cat put up, so something like this wouldn't happen.

All I have are the pictures that were on the MLS listing. I will post updated pictures once we take some. We've already purchased new living room furniture and are in the process of selling some of the other furniture we have currently!

10 Years.....

My 10 year high school reunion is coming up. Well, actually it is the 80th All-School Reunion for my school. For those who don't know, I grew up in an itty-bitty town called Wink, TX. I graduated with a class of 31 people. Everyone knew everyone and knew everything about each other. There are days that I miss things about my hometown, but then I always think back to the days when I would always say, 'I can't wait to get out of here!' I would love for our kids to go to a school like I went to, but I don't think that will ever happen.

I'm still debating whether or not we will make it out to Wink for the reunion. Because it is an All-School Reunion, I'm sure there will be tons of people there that it would be great to catch up with. Here is the kicker - it is the same weekend as our 1 year anniversary. We don't have anything else planned, and Jason said he would go if I really wanted to go. The drive SUCKS as it is about a 5 1/2 hour drive. I'd love to take the boys out to Wink to show them where I grew up, but I'm sure they would be bored within a matter of an hour or so. The reunion is taking place the same weekend as the Roy Orbison festival, so there will be a few things going on, but I'm not sure how occupied it would keep them.

Anyways, I can't believe I graduated from high school 10 years ago! It doesn't seem like it has been that long ago. My Senior year was by far the best and somedays I wish I could go back and re-live those days! I'll have to find a Senior Picture and post it here!

Countdown to summer....

37 days until the end of school for the boys! This school year has flown by! Next year we will have a middle schooler. OMG! The boys will be transferring schools due to the new house. Tristen is wanting to participate in band, as one of his electives. We have his band interview set up for May 12th.

TAKS testing is today and tomorrow. I'm so over the TAKS test. Both of the boys do fine on the TAKS tests, but please don't get me started on how this test has overtaken our schools.

My younger brother Bear has a boat that is currently being stored in Austin. I'm hoping we will be able to get it up here and take it out on the lake a few times this summer. Our new house is only minutes away from Lake Lewisville! Can't wait until summer!

Computer Crashed!

Our computer crashed and although most of my pictures were backed up online, not all of them were. Luckily, any pictures that I liked, are most likely on my myspace or on here. Lesson learned....backup all pictures to an online source!

Life is still in the fast lane around our house. School is nearing the last 6 weeks and I cannot wait and I know the boys are super eager for summer, as well.

We are under contract for a house, but I won't be spilling the beans until after closing. I'm weird like that and don't want to jinx anything.

Nothing else really exciting to report. I'm finally going to the doctor for my finger that started hurting about 2 years ago. I went to my general doctor about a year ago and got x-rays done. It isn't broken and I've put off seeing a hand specialist up until now. I just hope it isn't too serious. My bff Kate had her baby boy yesterday and I cannot wait to go meet our new 'newphew' Alex.
