I had many great titles for this post, but as the days go by and time runs out for posting, I can simply only title it an update. Some of the great titles we had that sadly didn't make the cut are: "16 hours and counting", "we got the permit " (I know this one was kinda boring) "What do you mean we got our permit 2 weeks early- the city doesn't do ANYTHING early", "OMG- we are NOT ready"...... you get it!!
So, I see when I last left you, we were dealing with the city. We figured we had some time, and of course the parting words were, please don't call (emphasis on the please part). So we didn't and waited patiently. On Friday Glenn calls me. Now, generally he doesn't call unless he has some news, and generally he needs something, so generally it's bad news. Its noon on Friday and I see that he is calling and I begin to panic (silently). I asked him what could be wrong, but then he says that he got the permit and needed to come out right away becuase he needed tostartimmediately, and then it all started running together. We were NOT prepared for this!!
But somehow I managed to pull myself together and ask some pertinent questions, but ultimately was left with, we are pulling out of the gate and taking off!!
We spent the weekend moving and preparing the yard. (Like how I say "we") Really I did stuff in the yard and told Michael and his brother (who by the way is my new best friend- love ya Douglas!!) He really has been a trmendous help to us/Michael (there I go again). Anyway- we managed to get it all done and ready, only to not have the excavator show up. I still am not sure what the story is on that, but anyway- it finally made its way here today. And now I have a giant hole in my yard, with a 5 foot drop from my back slider straight down. And lots of mounds and piles of dirt...... which the kids love.
So that's it in a nutshell. I felt compelled to update. I will try the picture thing again, I am just not so good at posting pictures- I am never quite sure where they will show up. Nolan was in a first grade musical last week and I have been meaning to put pictures of him up too. The kindergartners (I am not quite sure how to spell that and my spell check is not working...) and first graders at BLE had a BUGZ Musical..... they were so very cute! Nolan was chosen for a speaking part too. They had the musical at the Sumner High School Performing Arts theater- kinda fancy! It was cute.
