Movin' On Up!

Alright...so I have been MIA lately.  Here I am!  The last several weeks have been crazy!  We had to pack up the whole apartment and we were running out of room for the boxes, so Rick (our landlord) let us have the key to the house and start moving boxes.  It was great...but as we were looking around the house, I noticed a large leak in the kitchen sink...so much so that the hardwood floor had swollen up and it looked like we had a dead body hidden under the floor.  Nice huh?  So we called Rick and let him know and Andy turned the water off to stop any further damage.  Rick has put a dehumidifier in and if that doesn't work, he is going to have to replace the whole kitchen floor.  

So we moved in a little over a week ago.  It took us a week to move everything from the apartment to the house.  The bird stayed over at the apartment for like 3 days (it was so quiet and nice!).  But eventually everything came together.  We didn't have cable or internet for a few days (Comcast sucks by the way), and we have been running around like crazy since the move.  There are still boxes everywhere, but slowly they are going down in numbers.  The house is great...it's a little old so it needs some TLC, but it is great.  The backyard is more then we could have asked for and the dogs love it!

Today I had Mom, Dad, Aaric, Noelle, Kayla, Chase, (brother, sister, niece and nephew) Harold, and Maggie (friends of the parents and me) all come over for lunch.  I made meatball subs for lunch.  Aaric also helped with the shelves as we had none worth a damn in our bedroom.  All of the shelves were falling down, so he helped put them all up.  Andy has been doing a great job fixing up all the "chores".  My camera is broken, so Mom brought her camera and I took several pictures.  As soon as I get them on my computer then I will post for all to see!!

Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun

So the weekend was uneventful...thank goodness.  Andy went out of town Friday night to Savannah for his sister's wedding.  Remember now that my parents are out of town...every time that both my parents and Andy go out of town my car breaks.  The first time my window rolled down and then never came back up and I got stuck in the mud at school.  The second time the car wouldn't even start!  The fuel pump something or other broke...$600 later it was fine again.  This time the only thing that went wrong was Deuce was sick...but that is nothing unusual...he just gets like that.  Andy came home Monday.  I had to go down to the Atlanta Greyhound bus station to pick him up.  I took the dogs with me for safety...it's not the best part of town.  They barked at the guys standing around and did their job.  I think big dogs are better safety then guns sometimes...

Last week was the first week I commissioned out!  That was exciting...this week doesn't look as good as we are not that busy.  Why are we not busy you ask?  Because it won't stop raining...it has rained non stop for a week, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon.

Tuesday we moved some boxes to the new house.  Rick gave me the key so that we could start moving stuff as our apartment was being overtaken by boxes.  We wandered around the house to make sure everything is ok...and I noticed the kitchen sink was leaking.  Andy stopped the leak, but the floor was soaked.  The hardwood was swollen for the water...we called Rick and got that squared away.

Yesterday was a very boring day at work.  We had no dogs, so we put the stock on the shelves.  Boring...but it at least past the time.  Andy's brother Robert had stopped in yesterday morning with his cousin's husband...they are on their way to North Carolina for some stuff...anyway, they stayed here for some rest.  Robert brought his puppy!  He has s 4 month old Chihuahua.  He was so cute.  I had to put my dogs up while he played...but it was hilarious!  He was so small...I didn't even know what to do with him.  So Robert and Eddie left yesterday afternoon, and they will stop back on their way home.  More puppy time!

Today is the last day of school for the semester.  No finals, I just need to sit through some presentations.  Then I'm done!  I am taking the summer off as the class I wanted isn't available.  But that's ok...I need a break!
