Spring has sprung!

Well, I started this blog and then forgot about it! I have a feeling I'm going to get better about it though. I may actually even share it with some people finally!

Things in our life are still pretty hectic... which is just the way I like! The house is moving along quite quickly! The drywall is up and they are supposed to be done painting by Wednesday of next week! I had to submit paint colors yesterday which was completely stressing me out. I hope I made good selections! They are supposed to start flooring by the end of next week or May 18th at the latest. After that, they still need to brick, hang cabinets, pour concrete, and trim. Otherwise, we are almost done! They are said June 26th is their closing goal, but July 17th is the latest. So... it's going to be a fun and busy summer!

Still have not sold Hanson house, but we are trying to stay optimistic. We actually have a showing tonight, so that's always a good feeling. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

As many of you know we had a scare on Easter when my pa pa was taken to the hospital. It turns out he had some type of infection, but things got really scary for awhile. He is actually STILL in the hospital, but he is doing a lot better. He was off the ventilator 12 hours yesterday and was sitting in a chair, so those are very good things. Grandma is holding up as well as expected. She just really wants him back home now. Please keep him in your prayers!

The furry babies are doing well. Darcy had x-rays on her knee and will likely need surgery down the road, but it didn't seem to be imminent, so that was a relief. She sure doesn't act as though she has a care in the world! Her and Miss Martha love to rough house around... especially on top of our bed!

Hard to believe summer is right around the corner already. I'm looking forward to it for sure. This rain has been a real drag. Unfortunately, we have no summer travel plans yet, but may sneak away to Florida once we are moved and hopefully have our house sold! Nothing beats St. Pete Beach in my eyes... especially since Mexico is clearly out of the question for awhile. Darn that Swine Flu!
