heart pounding, waiting patiently...

that's ollie sleeping

1. so a lot has been on my mind lately and yet nothing has been going on.

2. i spent the last 3 days of last week babysitting window guys. they're coming back tomorrow to finish and clean up. (we got 15 back windows replaced. if we had the money, we would replace the other 53-56 windows this house has!)

3. so i had to miss lunch with kaylee on friday but she understood.

4. sunday ham went back to school bummed which made me bummed too. (kaylee was bummed that her brother was leaving and that she had school on monday)

5. and i still felt bummed on monday knowing that ham wasn't happy and i couldn't fix it.

6. so its been mentioned that he transfers to purdue. (he got an acceptance letter already and he found a place to live. all signs thats what he should do)

7. and we're waiting to hear if mike will be going off shore as his next job assignment. if he does, that means we will moving too.

8.  and since no one reads my blog, i can say it will be back to indiana.

9.  while this decision was a hard one for me (there's so much more to do here and the weather!), in the end family matter most.  i want kaylee to grow up with her cousins especially since she has 6 girl cousins all close to her age. i want her to know her grandparents and aunts and uncles.

10. so i'm here with my heart pounding, fingers and toes crossed, waiting patiently for mike to give me the news.

siding and my instagram is my only friend

 the old roof being taken off

 don't know how those guys can just stand up there- so scary!

 the mess and see our falling siding?

 the new roof -almost done

 old siding off and new siding on or as they call it hardi plank

the backside getting a make over

1. the siding guys fixed and repaired all parts that were falling apart in the front and back of the house. the major part was the back.

2. they're already here to start painting which means they are almost done!

3. i had a color picked out but the guy forgot to save it so they could color match it. [i had mixed 2 paint colors together.]

4. so we went with one that i thought was the color, ended up being the dark color i had originally wanted. guess its a sign.

5. its called texas leather and i found it on pinterest.

6. been a little homesick again. reading what everyones doing on Facebook does that. 

7. and having instagram be your only friend doesn't help much.

8. last friday we did go to a showcase of homes since i had 2 free tickets. [mike got lunch out of it so he was happy]

9. we liked 3 out of 12 homes and of course my favorites were the craftsman style and beach home.

10. hopefully we will be able to build one [craftsman style] by the water
