Last night we went out to eat crabs with Dean’s family, its become a tradition whenever we are all together it seems. It was nice. Caleb was just adorable, he was showing off like crazy for his grandparents! This morning we all went to church together then had to say good bye to them so they could head back to Ohio and we headed off to a media meeting at church. Then Dean and I picked up some great chinese food, funny thing is we had chinese last sunday afternoon too, but the place we went to today has been the best we’ve had since we’ve been here, we love chinese food! Now we are just going to relax for the rest of the afternoon.
The townhouse we looked at yesterday was nice but one dilemma. For $50 more we could get a unit w/ a washer/dryer but they are little ones, not full size. And if we dont get a unit w/ a w/d then there are no hook ups for our own w/d. And there isnt storage space or a basement so we would still need to keep our stuff in the storage place which seems silly. So Dean’s parents said they are willing to let us rent their old house, which is the one Dean grew up in here in Balto which they are currently renting out. But they’d let us rent it for less and they said they’d rather have us buy it, for a lot cheaper than they could really get for it on the market. It’s a five bedroom house with a nice size yard and nice porch. I am excited about it but we tried to get a home loan a year ago through our bank but because of an old school loan we were denied, but everyone keeps saying if we go through a mortgage co. not a bank it will be easier to get a loan. And we have been caught up on our accts, so it should be okay, we are praying! I cant imagine what we’ll do with all that room but I will love having it! I am getting anxious about being able to paint Caleb another nursery! This time it will even be nicer than the room we did for him in Ohio! So keep us in your prayers, we’re really hoping it all works out and are looking to move out in December! Dean’s counting down the weeks! Me, I am just thinking I dont know where anything is in the storage place, but I guess if we havent had it for the last month and half we can take the time to sort through it in our new home!!
When we moved everything here from Ohio our futon got destoyed, okay, not completely, but we had a white mattress for it and never bought a cover for it cause we liked it white well now its all black! somehow in the moving truck it got filthy, and beyond cleanable Dean says. So I am going to have to look for a futon cover and I think I might try to find a slip cover for our other sofa too I dont like the one we have very much. Thats the best part of moving – having to redecorate!
Thats about all for this weekend, as far as we know Dean’s truck is still in the shop and we havent been able to track down my dad to see when it will be ready. And I need to have my car tomorrow to go to the church to get ready for the fall festival on Wednesday so who knows what will happen, if anything I’ll have to take Dean to the train station, yippee, taking the baby out in the freezing morning air at 6:30 am! Ah speaking of that, when we move Dean will cut his commute time in half! Thats definitely worth moving out for!
