I know, I've been lazy!

Yes, I know, it's been almost two weeks since the last post. I'm sorry for the huge delay. We have been very busy and I have been spending my computer time searching for unique lighting fixtures etc.

We are shooting for the first week in December to be moving in BUT I have learned to not hold my breath on anything. Cabinets are installed and look perfect. The ceramic tile is in and the wood trim is going in now. The biggest frustration now is the lack of improvements outside. SUPPOSEDLY we should have a driveway by Friday, but I have heard this once before and it never happened. I am afraid we are quickly/or have already run out of time for the sprinkler system and sod. :( Maybe not but who knows. The exterior is all painted and looks pretty good.

Now our struggle is with lighting fixtures and faucets and whether they have to match or not. Who knew this part would be so difficult.

Therefore we are keeping busy with all of this.

The girls are fine too. Last Friday Dave and I went on a double date with Emma and her friend Colin from school. :) Just kidding! Actually Colin's mom called our house two weeks ago introducing herself and telling us that all Colin can talk about is getting together with Emma. So, she was brave enough to pick up the phone and call to set something up. We had a great time meeting eachother and the kids were thrilled to be "out" together. At one point we looked over while eating our pizza and the two of them were sharing his pop with both of them drinking from separate straws. Cute it was and Colin's mom even had to snap a picture on her cell phone. We met them for the first time that night so we had a nice time.

Today Emma told me that she has asked "Nick" to marry her and to her delight he has accepted. Who knows what that's all about. :) I would love to be a fly on the wall at school.

Speaking of school.....this week I am finishing up a two week homicide course and there is going to be a test on all of it on Friday. Yikes! I haven't studied for a test in ten years. Oh well!

Everything else is fine. I am having a mind block on anything else to write about and I have to decide on three things for Dave to tell the trim carpenter tomorrow so I must go in order to surf the internet a little more to get ideas.

Sorry for the delay.....I did get a new camera so will try to read how it works and take some pictures for the next post...
