Lazy Days of Summer

It officially feels like summer. The past 2 weeks have been very refreshing. I've been reading a lot. Hard to believe the first month of summer is almost gone. Hmmm....what's been happening? A month later, we're still under contract for our new house. We hit a little road bump last week. We were hoping to close by last Friday but the appraisal came back lower than we had expected. We have an awesome lending guy that immediately went to bat and sent in a petition to the appraisal company. Hoping to hear back soon. A few things could happen. A.) The appraisal could come back higher. B.) The seller can come down on her price. C.) We could pay the difference which we're very hesitant to pay more for a house than its worth. As much as we really like this house, we've decided that its in God's hands and if this isn't the one, we'll move on.

Leslie had a BBQ last night to celebrate that we graduated from college 10 years ago. It was fun to sit around and talk about old times and the stupid things we did in college.

Neal did a triathalon in Pearland this morning. It H-O-T! He did well. He placed 80th out of 500 and 17th in his age group. Proud of him and so happy that he has this passion for the sport. We're considering getting me a road bike so I can start doing long bike rides, especially since my knees aren't feeling well and I need to cut back on my running.

Summerrific

I love my job,especially when I don't have to work over the summer and still get a paycheck! I've already been to the library to stock up on books. My first read is Gone with the Wind. I love it! I broke the rule and saw the movie before reading the book. But it's been a long time since I've seen the movie. The book is oh so good. Love me some historical fiction.

Mack also got his summer hair cut this week. He looked a lot better when it was longer but I know its so much cooler now when we go run.

Mrs. Sister

Karen and Coy tied the know on June 12. All her hard work paid off and the wedding was beautiful. After the rehearsal, the girl cousins, aunts, maw-maw threw Karen a bachelorette/lingerie shower. So fun! Even little Miss Ayelet got to participate but that's probably because her food source was there. :) We laughed and laughed that night. Good times.

Florida

We went out to St. Augustine, FL last week. Neal went to a conference and I tagged along. Such a relaxing trip. St. A is a cute little town. The town is very historic so there are things like carriage rides and ghost tours. None of which we did by the way. We did get to dip our toes in the Atlantic Ocean. We stayed at the World Golf Resort. So relaxing, even if we don't golf. I flew home Wednesday night so I could get to my sister's to help get ready for the wedding. Neal flew home Friday night. His truck wouldn't start when he got to the airport but he figured it out and made it to Hillsboro Friday night.

And a new blog is born

So I started blogging back in January using wordpress. For whatever reason, I've decided that I really want to be a blogger. Maybe because it seems that's what most people are using. In my OCD-ness, I really wanted to repost all my previous posts into this blog but my sensible sister suggested I just put the link to the wordpress blog here.

So long wordpress. It's not you, it's me.
