The Job Ahead

Yikes! It's been a while, hasn't it? The reason for a paucity of posts has been quite simply a paucity of wedding planning activity. Cindy and I have been putting our spare energies into figuring out our housing improvement palns. I'm the one who has it easy here. All I have to do later this winter is clean my cheesy condo up and put half of my belongings in storage. Then I should be ready to sell. Her place is a whole 'nother story. Much to our dismay, we found out a few weeks ago that the roof on her house is in need of replacement, not repair as we had hoped. Then the really fun fun starts: The Kitchen! This will be an almost complete room redo, including floors and ceiling. But, we have a plan and a budget, which makes it a wee bit less intimidating. From the kitchen we will then head to the foyer, and then to the upstairs bath for a bit of cosmetic work. I bet your eyes are glazing over as you read.......
With all this activity being directed towards selling our properties, we have begun to contemplate the WhatIfs. What if one of us sells and the other doesn't? What if neither sells? What if this whole housing meltdown melts down further? And so on.......
We're currently taking applications for Kitchen Repairers, so send us in your qualifications and we'll be happy to give you a tryout.......

Raise the Roof!

Not really-it's more like: buying a new roof. As we move closer towards consolidation of our lives, we are beginning to hit the home repair/upgrade project seriously.
Hey-I should also call this post: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Because, truly, it seems like days and days between the times we get to see each other. And I miss you, C2!

So, how are things going?

Life is wonderful. I know we haven't posted because the eventual business of life kicked in hard as the summer ended. But life is good. I never get tired of seeing C2's face. I still get excited when I see him at the door and I still have the biggest crush on him.
We priced out a new roof and some kitchen niceties ( a new countertop, a new cupboard, flooring, etc.) in preparation for selling the house in the Spring. It's not like I have extra money for any of this, but these efforts are towards gaining some benefit in the house price.
And the kids started school this week-AND SO DO I!
Just one class to start, one about Gender and United States History, and then I'll move to more than one starting Winter quarter.
The holidays are coming, too! Whee.
