No More Excuses

Okay, so we now have a computer at our house and I have downloaded all the adorable photos/videos of Asher. We got the phone line hooked up today, and (hopefully) the UPS man dropped off our modem so we will have the internet tonight (currently at the in-laws using theirs)!!! The light at the end of the technology tunnel is becoming more and more bright.

This means that I have no more excuses for not updating our blog. So, I now commit that I will post at least once a week. I may not have pictures with all the posts, but I promise to keep you informed. (Why you are so interested in our boring life, I will never know. But I will keep my skepticism to myself). :)

Okay - here is my start: Today is Asher's 7 month birthday (mutters "weird" under her breath) as well as his Granpda Pettey's 64th. Pictures to come soon!

The house is getting really close to done (again, you hear muttering "right, is it ever REALLY done???" under her breath). The flooring is done, and we have the base boards in the front room, kitchen and entry. Our bedroom door and the bathroom door still need to be painted (bummer when you paint them the wrong color - curses!!!). Oh, and we still don't have a dishwasher. Or counter. Oh, and no kitchen sink either. BUT - I have a stove, fridge and a table - life is good!!! I do have some before pictures that I intend to post soon, for all of you who aren't here to fully appreciate the transformation.

Summer break is coming to an end for Durrant and the pressures of Semester Opening are fast approaching. Here's to sleepless nights, ornery students, instructors and bosses. Fortunately he has a little boy who adores him and a wife that can't live without him to come home to. (chanting "There's no place like home. There's no place like home.")

As for me, work is still going pretty well. It is literally Christmas in July for me because all the clothes I ordered and have seen pictures of are coming in. I never know what will be waiting for me when I get to work in the morning, and then comes the challenge of finding a home for it on the floor.

I'm also going to start scoping for Heidi. Thanks to Michelle (you rock!!!!) I have the software to edit things and really help her out. However, I haven't officially started yet, so hopefully things will go okay. ;)

That's all for now. The birthday party is starting soon, and there are candles that need to get blown out.
