They’re Heeeere! Rachel & Brian & Violet arrived safely & we’ve all been having a fabulous time! Now, if the rain would clear up we’ll be all set. Nelson is so excited to have his exotic girlfriend from the north here. Although Violet is a little freaked out by his cone. Ah, puppy love.

Bittersweet I’m so sad. Today is the last day I’ll be working with my team leader. He’s retiring and his last day is Saturday. I’m off the rest of the week though so today is my last day with him. He’s so great to work for. Very laid back, treats us all like adults instead…

We have more fun Today is National Blonde Day! So go out and hug your favorite blonde. I had no idea that such a day even existed. Thanks to Nicole for the heads up! I love the Blonde Legal Defense Club’s mission: To stop the widespread belief that blondes are dumb and incapable. There’s more…

…and the hunt ends! Talk about a whirlwhind weekend of house hunting! Friday we looked at 53,000 houses. Well, that’s what it felt like. It was more like 18. Now keep in mind we’ve been looking all along while our house has been on the market so we narrowed down our search to 2 neighborhoods.…

So hopefully the inspector will deem our house livable and not have a list a mile long that will make the buyers change their…

Some of you have asked about where we’re moving. We’re looking at 2 neighborhoods in a small town just south of here. It’s just over the state line, yet only 5 minutes away. What that means is lower property taxes and we can just about double the size of our house without our mortage payment…

This weekend went by entirely too fast. I got a lot done though. I worked Saturday then went on a mini shopping spree to get ready for the upcoming 4th of July events and also the tea swap. Nothing like waiting til the last minute. We’ve just been so busy with work and house stuff.…

Sara has posted a cute picture of Jake, her, and Marc. Go check it out! Now that we can start looking for houses I suppose I should start shopping for SC themed merchandise. It’s so cute! Some of you have mentioned that you may be interested in purchasing some of my jewelry. That’s pretty exciting…
