Nothing majorly new to report....just don't want to get out of the habit of blogging, since I know you are all anxiously waiting to see what I will post next...haha!
House/Moving: The lot that would work with the house we want in Cranston is still on hold until the 15th. The salesman is going to grab it for us right away if these people don't take it. The house will be going up 7000-10000 in the next week so we need to act fast if we want it. I guess what they do is "fire-sale" the first, I don't know, say 20 or so and then they get a deal from all the trades people and then once they have their 'deal', they jack up the price... odd. So, we are trying to line up banking etc this week and hopefully make it happen. We are going to go to the Cardel design centre so check out all the upgrades ahead of time so we know more of the final price. The upgrade options are CRAZY!! We are being very particular about what we choose to get and what we choose to leave behind...we can't have it all so we are trying to prioritize which things we like best. Some are not options for us at all....I need to have doors on my office, without the kitchen extended we don't like the house, having the house developed down to the basement eliminates having the 'closed in' feeling on the main floor and is easier for future development, a pocket door so that the lint and dirt from the laundry/mud room don't get into the walkthrough pantry.... WOW...it all adds up fast :)
We've decided to paint the girls room just a plain light blue for the purpose of selling. Chris has finished most of it and they should be down there next weekend...they are excited.
Sunday: I had my first experience as an "Elders Wife'. Apparently when the Elders make a decision that not everyone likes, they don't go to the Elders for answers...they go to their wives....who knew? I was quite taken back. I didn't even know about the decision much before....Chris was nervous to tell me because he didn't think I'd agree with it...initially, I didn't. Once I heard the reasonings and how they came to their decision etc, I came around and I'm sure most will too. Part of me says "why fix what isn't broken? (and what we all love)" but looking to the future is important too.
That's about it for now...on with the day :)
