Its been awhile... sorry fans!

my week was full of "trying" to pack and organize for the moving... well I got one load moved and a bunch of things ready to go to house... but just a tiny problem... new basement is FULL of crap, so I must figure out what is junk and what is keeps before I do anymore moving... hope to get all this cleaned up this week... but have to do it during daylight since no electrical is running over there yet... in time this move will go smoothly :)

Quick house update... gotta love the progress:) cuz I am sure loving it!!! Plastering was completed last week, its just SO nice to see WHITE instead of grey, hrm... progress upstairs, well biggest job is done... that I was waiting for is Blade's closet and I am happy to report its DONE :) that was just eating me alive that it wasn't plastered or anything yet since we had the whole upstairs completely plastered and painted except his closet. Also all the boys closets have shelving now... they should be completed by tomorrow hopefully:) YEAH!!!! I can't wait to see my closet done... its exciting! They look awesome, thanks so much to Dustin!!

Happy to also report our shower glass was delievered and installed this week... totally LUV it !! Thanks to Billy! we have outside lighting and it totally ROCKS... it makes the place - its becoming real and its very exciting!!!

On to this week for the house... well painters come in tomorrow to get started on the main floor painting, they will prime tomorrow and ceilings and closets will be done on Tuesday, as for COLOR on walls that will happen Wed... I'm very excited but also VERY nervous!!!! This is HUGE and just want to make sure it all flows and feels comfy:) So the pressure is on... need to finalize it all by tomorrow and I'm very nervous about settling on my decisions... oh boy! Hope the new washer and dryer get delievered and installed this week... as well as Mitchel's new bed arriving. The attic process... well hope we make head way on it this week:)


Now on to our weekend update.... well Friday I tugged around here all day doing CRAP... got the boys closet all cleaned and seasons changed.... well not really but put all the summer clothes in totes and got that ready for the move, what a JOB!!!
Friday night Jer and I spent the evening with Ja and Tammy. We had a great supper at Houlihans... I know BIG shock :) but its our place :) just chillin' for the evening was FUN... we sure had a great laughs - Thanks JER!!! After supper we were off to Miquels for the men's drinks and then drove on back to town and ended up at the Bent Rim for a few drinks... kinda dull and quiet there and called it a early night- I was sure beat for some odd reason... CRAZY old age I swear!!!

On to Saturday... Jer took Mitchel to his soccer game in Dyersville, I stayed behind with the other two boys and got some stuff done since we were going to be off to Genosa IL for Mitchel's other soccer game... both games for the day ended with losses but at the Dyersville game ... he had a "assist" so Jer and him both were happy and excited about that factor... just hard to see them loose when they play SO hard! So long day of traveling... but got a little shopping in at Gordmans... yes one of my favorite stores! (lots of cute stuff for cheap prices:) then we were off to home and making a quick change of clothes and settling the kids in for the night since we had a good friend's 30th birthday party to attend at Lake Dehli and we were already running late, we gathered all our friends and headed up to the party... interesting ride! We had a wonderful time, hope you did too Jerry!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Mel, the party was great, so glad we could just hang out at the cabin as a group-THANK YOU!! Glad to see you were the entertainer for the evening for once:) The night will be forever a memory ... WOW we had a great time!!! What a late night thou... WOW all comes back the aging thing again I swear! HA HA

The next BIG party/fire hopefully will be at our location (HOUSE) within a few weeks and its going to be HUGE!!!! Hope to see all of you friends there!!!

Here we are Sunday... what a beautiful day!!!! We all slept in this am, then got up and headed over to Camp Courageous for the pancake breakfast- YUMMY :) going there brings TONS of memories back from my younger days, I spent a lot of weekends there volunteering and touching lives- those were the days I will never ever forget!

Mitchel had a soccer game in DBQ today at 3pm so we farted around at the house moving some stuff and looking at paint swatches... then we were off to DBQ... another hard game played but our boys lost 2-0... so hard to see them loose:( but they played well!. After game we were off to run a few errands... I had to hit Target to get a few things and had to get the new GILMORE GIRLS release! So excited to watch it!!! A quick supper at Taco Bell and off to home... well house to do a few more things before tomorrow, while we were there my mom and dad stopped in... that was very nice! I was happy to show them the progress being made... they are so excited for our move in a few weeks.

Did any of you watch Desperate Housewives tonight???? The show is back for the season as well as the new show "'Brothers and Sisters", liked it tonite so I will watch it again next week:)

Well wish you all a good week:) Enjoy!!
