Update overload
Has it really been since JANUARY since I last updated this? Man, I’m a slacker. It seems like so much has happened in the last month and a half.
First and foremost, Jon and Penny had their baby! They named her Lora Violet, and she was born last Thursday. It was a pretty quick labor, all things considered. I think when it was said and done it was just around 10 hours. And that was their first.
Secondly, I bought a house. Closed on it the last week in February. It’s been nearly a month now, but it doesn’t seem that long. I’ve still got lots of boxes everywhere, and they never seem to completely disappear. It doesn’t help that I’m usually to tired on the weekdays to unpack, I spend most of my Sundays lately hanging out with Tyler, so that really just leaves Saturday. My dad has come out a couple of weekends to help me get stuff done, like install a new door, trim some hedges, fix up the garage. I’m really enjoying being a homeowner! I was a little worried before I did all of this if I’d even be able to swing it. But I made my first house payment yesterday, and it wasn’t bad at all. I’m totally going to be able to do this. Hope so anyway, because I bet foreclosure sucks.
I also have taken in a new doggie, Moira. Rob’s mom initally adopted her, but then was fed up with the hassle after one night. So rather than take her to a shelter, I told her I would take her. I’ve had her since the last week in the apartment, and I’m really glad I did! She is a total sweet heart. And she and Maggie get along great! It’s alot of work (again), and potty training has been a little bit more difficult, but she’s going to be a good doggie.
And tonight I’m off to Dawn’s for some dinner! Speaking of which, I should go and get ready for that…
