LAST MEETING!!!!

We had out last meeting today!!!! Once the permits come in, they're going to break ground. We met with the construction manager today, whew, he seems like a rough and tumble one. I'm glad I'm not working under him but hey, if he gets the job done... On the blueprint and the house layout that we were shown, it was showing that our basement would have double doors leading out, making it a wider entrance way. While we were talking, they were saying it was only going to be a single. Jason got em. He said since it was on both the blueprint and the layout that they had to give it to us because nowhere on the thing did it say that was an option. A $2,000.00 option no less. Whoo hoo, score one for dad!! Anyway, the construction manager was telling us that we will probably not break ground until the end of July now. A little disheartening but what can ya do.

We met with Nikole yesterday from the real estate agency. She's such a doll. I think she's really going to help us out. The money that we are going to be paying her kind of makes me queasy though. Good grief, we could use that money to put down on the new house and drop our payments a little more. I'm not real big on crunching numbers but that amazing man of mine can. He says we'll still be OK and that I will not have to go back to work full time. Nikole really helped put me at ease about people being in this house. She took a lot of pics to put up so people can see it. She seems to think she's not going to have that hard of a time selling it because of how we've upgraded so much and kept the house nice. I'm tellin ya, for the price that people are asking for houses around here, it would amaze you at the condition of some of them. It's pathetic. I'm excited though. Still a little nervous as to where we'll go inbetween houses but if Jason tells me we're going to be OK, then I guess we'll be OK. I'm still trying to convince him to hire some help to move the heavy stuff. I'm afraid one of us will get hurt moving some of these heavier things and if that happens we're really going to be up the creek. KWIM?


AJ went to bible class again yesterday. They learned about the good Samaritan. Anyway, one of the little tykes fell off the chair and scared my monster, and then he fell out of the chair too. The first one got away unscathed but poor AJ has a pretty good goose egg. Dena said that she was so sorry he fell out of the chair, but she was excited too because when AJ bumped his head, the other children rushed over to him and placed a bandage around his head. She was excited the kids were actually listening. He came out of class looking like Tonto. :0) He's no worse for the wear though. He's a tough little monster. I guess he has to be. Dad pinches his legs in the car seat and today I pinched his little finger in the car door handle. Like I said, he has to be tough.


2 of my 3 kids in Sunday school completely memorized their 3 verse memory verse!!! I was impressed. I figured we'd be doing a verse a week or something like that. They are hard, I couldn't even recite it to you yet!! Anyway, Matthew and Kenneth both were able to spit it back out at me. Kenneth even repeated the King James version. Talk about being impressed!!! They seemed to really like the letters I sent out to them mid-week. I'm going to do that again this week too.


AJ took a 2 hour nap today (in his crib) so mommy took a 2 hour nap today too!! (on the couch) Gotta love that!!!! I took a pic of the land today so I will post that a little later. I don't think monster will let me get that done just yet. Sorry, I know you're all dying to see it. (haha) Love you guys!!!!
