I’ve been a slouch! Haven’t been posting much…”bad blogger”!!!
Life has been busy…but not really eventful enough to trigger a blog post. Know what I mean?
Let’s see…a life update would be…hmmm…
Rochell and Gram left North Dakota yesterday, heading back to Vegas. Rochell put her house on the market while she was here, and has had two offers…the first being a total LOW BALL! Their offer was $70K below the asking price. Now that wouldn’t be such a huge chunk if we were talking about a million dollar house, but it was equivalent to about 35% of the sale price. A second offer did come in and it was much more reasonable…once everything was said and done, though, the financing fell through! UGH! Back to square one!
Sonya has her dog grooming business and shop off the ground. She is doing so well and everyone is so proud of her. Her decision to move herself and Cameron here, permanently, was the best decision she could have made. Cameron is just thriving. Lots of friends, Varsity and JV Football, driver’s permit, working at the drive-in, and just as happy as a clam. It’s so nice to see it, and see it on a daily basis.
The house is coming right along. Furniture is finally here and just really makes the whole house. Artwork up on a lot of the walls. I still have one console table to assemble and a large mirror to hang. I did finally find a GE washer and dryer that will fit in the laundry room space and the dryer will vent out the right side…they won’t be in for another week, though. So I’m still hanging out at the laudromat…but it’s not the end of the world. I do need to take pics and post them. All I have left to do is start unpacking my scrapbook stuff, and any remaining boxes are things that will ultimately end up in the garage…which is next on the “Honey-Do” list. We need to get it done before snow flies or we will have to wait until spring. But it will be an expense…so we wait and decide to try and do it ourselves to save money knowing it will take longer, or hire someone and just get it done at added expense. UGH, decisions, decisions.
That’s about it…not much else going on other than loving life in ND. It’s so laid back, sometime to the detriment of getting things done, but if you know that, then you can figure out how to accomodate it. I am looking forward to Winter and all the projects I want to tackle when it will be too cold to hang out outside. Can’t wait to hunker down on the couch next to the fireplace and watch the snow fall out the windows. We are probably closer to those days than I realize.
