Rainbow

During a break in all the rain we have been having this weekend Missy and I saw a double rainbow outside of our house. Luckily, I was able to take some pictures of it.

Rain, Rain Go Away!

So yesterday I put down 25 more pounds of grass seed and watered my lawn really well because the local weatherman said we were not going to get any rain until Monday afternoon.

So I get up this morning to find that not only did it rain last night but I now have a couple of lakes in my backyard and a pond in my front. I am going to give it a couple of days but I am going to guess that most of my seed has been washed away.

New BBQ Grill

Last night Melissa and I along with Eric and Nick went out to Lowes and picked out a BBQ grill. Its is a Char-Broil propane grill (Hank Hill would be very happy.). As always I have a picture here.

Now Missy and I can start planning our open house.


Lawn Work

This morning I got up early and spent a couple hours in my mud pit trying to get something that resembles a lawn to grow. I guess this is just ONE of the joys of homeownership you hear so much about.

I have a few pictures here.

If I don’t have something starting to grow in the next month or so I am going to call a guy in to Hydroseed my yard.

We are back….

It has been almost two weeks but we have finally got our DSL back. So here are some of our happenings.

I am trying to grow grass in our yard…. but it isn’t going very well. It hasn’t rained in over a week so I have been watering the lawn everyday after work. I am really hoping we get some “April Showers” tonight.

We celebrated Easter with Missy’s parents. It was a really laid back Easter but I do have a few pictures here.

Other then that we are just settling into our new house and I am trying to recover from being ran over by a golf cart (Thanks Nick!)

8 Dozen Cupcakes

My Coworkers have declared a cupcake war and have brought in 8 dozen cupcakes into work today. That is about a half a dozen cupcakes per person.

Here is a picture of me with all my cupcake goodness.


Happy Birthday To Me!

Today in 1980 in a small town in northwest Indiana I was born. Today in the Capitol of Missouri I turn 26.

For probably the first time in 26 instances, I am really not that excited about it. Unfortunately, that doesn't make them go away. So here I am, on the “wrong” side of the twenties. I am now too old to be considered young and I am 8760 days away from being eligible to join AARP.

So tonight I am going to go home and eat a wonderful dinner with my beautiful wife and play Xbox read the Washington Post.

Moved In

We got moved into our new house this weekend and Missy is heading back to work in the morning. I am staying at home to do a few things that need to be done but will be back at work Tuesday. I am worn out and after putting in four 18 hours days. Things are getting a little tense around our house (Thanks lady at home depot for selling Missy blinds that were ½” to big!).

I wasn’t able to get all our moving pictures online since my modem is so slow but here are a few.

PS. I am still DSL-Less but I am using my Cingular 8125 phones wireless modem to get online.

Moving

Missy and I are in the process of moving as I type this. We have the trailer loaded about half way up and Missy is packing up the bathroom. Nick and Eric also stopped by and helped.

Here are some other pictures from the event.

P.S. I will be DSL-Less for the next 6-10 days so all updates will have to be done while I am working or from stolen wireless from Nick’s.

Final Walk Through

Missy and I had our final walk trough tonight and the only problems we saw were our dishwasher wasn’t hooked up and the exhaust fan made a strange noise (both are being fixed tomorrow).

So we are 60 hours away from being first time home owners.

What The Hail!

As if this week isn’t going to be stressful enough we just had a huge hail storm with some minor damage to our cars. Some the hail was bigger then a quarter.

We have pictures here.

Update: We have way more then minor damages on our cars. So I guess I am going to be calling our insurance company.
