Adios Laredo!!

The house is SOLD! All the documents are signed and the check is almost in...we have to mail it tomorrow but the buyers part is all done so we are considering ourselves free of the Laredo house. We are so grateful that it moved as fast as it did because we expected to have to sit on it longer than just three months, with the housing market the way it is right now.

Catching up...

I am a little behind on posting so I have a few things to say....all good!!

Congratulations to Brenna (Schmidt) and Mike Clements on their beautiful wedding this past weekend. Everything was beautiful and we had a great time. I also got to see my bestie Brooke Copelin as her baby shower was this past weekend in Chappell Hill. She is such a cute pregnant woman...I'll try to post some pictures soon!

Happy belated Anniversary to my parents. They celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary this past Tuesday. What an awesome milestone in their life and what great role models for us.

We have received an update on the Laredo house. As of now we are supposed to receive the closing documents this coming week, we will sign them and fedex them back to the title company. We are super pumped about the closing being so soon because that means we won't make another payment on that house...we just have to pay off the debt due to the house selling for less than what we owe on it. We were a little bummed about not having to go to Laredo because we wanted to see everyone one more time but we decided that it's probably best right now since we have so much other stuff going on with my brothers upcoming wedding, and it's not like we have a house to live in down there so we would have to pay for a hotel. We plan to make a trip soon though so that we can see everyone.

This weekend is sure to be fun. Gretchen is on her way to visit for the weekend as I type this update and Jeremy has peaced out for the weekend. He decided that he didn't want to be left alone with all the girl talk so he went to spend the weekend with his dad at their lake house on Lake Buchanan. Crystal was supposed to join us on Saturday but something came up so she is not able to.

I also want to congratulate Alyssa for graduating with her RN degree. She finished school this past week and I know that it has been tough for her working full time and being a full time student. We are proud of you Alicia (that's what Jeremy and I call her...it's a long story).

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

update!

This past weekend was great. We went to Brenham Friday night and helped prepare for the garage sale that we were having Saturday morning at mom and dads house. We had a great time laughing at all the junk and old clothes that was being put in the garage sale. My dad has a modeling side to him that I have never seen before....it was hilarious!

Saturday morning was the garage sale and we did okay. The one time that we were all prepared and organized by 7am, we didn't have our first customer until nearly 8am. Typically, they are knocking down the door at 6:30, but not this time.

The best part of the weekend came Saturday afternoon/evening.....Jeremy and I went to see George Strait in Houston. We not only saw George Strait but we saw Blake Shelton and Sugarland. They all performed wonderfully and I would definitely be willing to see Sugarland and George Strait again in the future. I have added some pictures for you to check out.

The weekend's over

It's a sad thing but we must return to work tomorrow. I just don't know why I have not been feeling work lately. I don't want to go to begin with and then when I am there I am never in the mood to work and by 2pm I am so ready to go home; it's sad because I really like what I do most of the time.
We went to Shelby Saturday evening to help my Aunt Betty and Uncle Donald celebrate their retirement. It was an outdoor party and the wind was blowing like crazy so it didn't feel so bad out there. Happy retirement to them!!
Today we finally sold the stove that was originally in this house when we bought it. We brought our appliances from Laredo and decided that we would just sell the ones that were already here on Cragislist. Last week I finally cleaned up the stove, took some pictures and listed it on Craigslist. We had several interested people but finally today a guy emailed us and said that he wanted it and he came to pick it up today so we have one less thing taking up space in the garage. Now if we can just get the trash pick-up scheduled with the movers our garage will be nice and clean.
Hope that everyone has a wonderful week!
