Moving Day!!

Moving day is tomorrow!!!! Couldn't be more excited. Living in the rental for the last 3 months has not been the best but its what we could do on short notice and have from month to month. We have had the dogs to the new house twice now and they LOVE the back yard and just tear through it like they are wild. We bought a used riding mower; broke it in last night, great investment. Haven't touched the pool or landscaping yet, there are weeds all over the flowerbeds. Its driving me crazy but just have not had the time at all. Luckily we know some of our neighbors so that is another huge plus to moving. The bike path is super close and I have already mapped my new route that I plan to use. Its just shy of 4 miles but hope to add to that once I get used to it. We have definitely moved up from our first house but that was the intention all along. Start small and work our way up.

Went to my lady doctor wednesday and she ordered blood work for me and s/a for Neil. I will most likely be dx with PCOS and hopefully nothing is wrong with him. I did ask about his previous child but she said things can change for the males too with age. So he is doing his part next week. Not looking forward to taking clomid but I will if it will give us a chance at becoming pregnant. Its how I was conceived so its good to know that the drug is still around after all these years. I go back July 12.

I have an interview on Monday with the Franklin County Sheriff. Its for an Identification Technician. Basically I believe the duties include processing fingerprints, photos, and personal information for arrestees. Also process fingerprints for background checks and gun permits. Its second shift but its worth it to me. Its a little pay increase but I think the gas will eat it. Wish me luck!!

Homeowners

A lot has happened since the last post and its all positive. After looking hard core for another house as good as or better than Myrtle we came across only 2 and made an offer on one of them that was literally around the corner. It fell through so we went back and decided to try again with Myrtle and in our offer we asked for the appraisal to be done first and if it appraised at their counter offer amount, we would buy it at that. Well it appraised $6,000 over that so we were shocked considering the current market situation. Needless to say everything from there on went smoothly and we actually got the keys last night to our new house!! We met the sellers there and went over a few things and hope to start prepping for painting tonight or Wednesday. There is only one bedroom and an accent wall that needs to be done then I can move onto cleaning before we get our stuff out of storage. There is not hardly anything else we have to do to move in and I love that. Gotta work on weeding the landscaping and opening the pool but those things can wait. We are also going to have tons of fruit: peaches, apples, and cherries. Better learn how to can/preserve them plus I will give them away to friends and family.

We went on vacation with our friends, Kevin and Brittany and some of his family to the Outer Banks and had a great time. It was our first time there, had a nice house on the beach and look forward to going back. We did get to spend time in the ocean even if it was a little cold. We got boogie boards and on our last full day there Neil got slammed into the ground by a huge wave and hurt his shoulder pretty good. He is at the dr today to see about therapy/MRI. We had it xrayed down there and nothing is broken but even after 2 weeks he is in a fair amount of pain. He said it was the hardest hit he has ever taken even after being a linemen in high school. So yeah moving is not going to go as easily as it did before since he did a lot of the heavy lifting.

Needless to say we will be very busy over the next several weeks but its a good busy.
