Milestones

Tonight, Caleb put Blythe to bed and we sat down to watch Biggest Loser. We were talking about all the stuff going on and brought up some of the milestones we're about to hit. So I said, "I think the baby is weaned, we're going to Vegas this weekend for our first night away from her," then Caleb adds this... "and I dominated some math today."

We all have our pride points, apparently Caleb's involves his math skills. He was taking someone else's interview assessment test for a management position too. Cheater.

He would like me to add that I was watching Biggest Loser and thus he had to watch Biggest Loser, because he loves me and wants to be in the same room with me no matter what is on the TV.

After saying the sweet thing about wanting to be in the room with me, he then told me he was at least 17 times faster at the internet than I am, and also that I don't say things correctly. Jerk.

Then he made me change the above to say "at least" because he thinks he is probably more than 17 times faster. Uber-jerk.

You must admit... together, we are funny. He claims he's the only one who is funny. Super-uber-jerk.

Welcome to the Madness

We are now about 18 days from being homeless and I think it's finally starting to set in. This is effecting us differently as I'm starting to pack with a little more fervor and Caleb is trying to buy any and every house that is for sale. We still have not decided if we're moving to Denton or to Wylie so Caleb is trying to buy a house in both cities.
When we got the contract on the house, we were pretty settled on building a new home in Wylie. This was going to take 7-9 months so we needed to rent something in the mean time. Last weekend, we went looking for something to rent in Denton. We figured we could have the best of both worlds... rent in Denton for a bit before moving to Wylie. While driving around Denton we saw houses for sale on Locust, across the street from Hayley and around the corner from Em and Clay. For sale, mind you, not for rent. Next thing I know we're looking at a 1948 siding house that needs a lot of work. Probably needs to be leveled, most likely needs a new roof, and definitely needs a paint job. The lady living in it now has so much stuff shoved into the 1800 sqft that it was overwhelming. I was shocked when Caleb wanted to make an offer as he has said he didn't want to have to redo another house, but none the less, he was ready to buy it then and there. I think it was Wednesday we signed paperwork, but held off sending it because we had a couple questions about the seller's disclosure.
Thursday night we went to Wylie for Valera's birthday dinner. While there, Grammie told us that Choice Homes had declared bankruptcy. We had looked at a couple of Choice Homes in Brandon's neighborhood before settling on a different builder. So last night, Caleb is ready to buy one of those thinking we can get a really good deal. When we got home, he emailed the lady we had talked to before and talked to her on the phone today. Tomorrow we are going to see the house across the street from Brandon and Valera (after we drop off some stuff at our storage space, which is in Wylie).
Meanwhile, at around 2:30 or 3 this afternoon, he tells me to go ahead and send in the offer on the Locust street house. I have stopped asking questions. I am simply packing boxes and waiting for Caleb to decide in which location to unpack them.
He has explained it like this. Before this house had sold he was reluctant to do anything. Now he knows this house is gone it's like having a loaded weapon, and he is choosing to shoot at anything that moves.

Tickling the Ivories

Yesterday we inherited a piano from Grammie's Coppell house and Blythe loves it. Here's a quick picture of her and Caleb playing. Thank you, Grammie!!

Oscar Night

Sometimes I like to send Caleb text messages from my computer when we're both in the house. It cracks me up. He won't answer back because he doesn't want to waste texts. It's really funny at night after Blythe goes to bed because then he can't even yell to answer me. Tonight, I was doing this and started laughing, but also needed to cough and I almost died in the process. It's no longer that funny.

That was a lie. It's still hilarious.

SOLD!

We have a contract on the house, signed it yesterday. We are set to close on March 17th. Now all we gotta do is figure out where we're gonna live. Blythe and I started packing yesterday. I am learning to speed pack because Blythe still really likes to move things in and out. So if you are putting things in a box, B is right there taking it all back out. Or if you are trying to empty a drawer, there she is dutifully putting everything back in. Should be a fun month... I can't imagine what kind of junk is hidden away in this house!

Hola

So my dad requested I update this thing. I told him I didn't have anything to say and he pointed out that's never stopped me before. Valid point, so here goes.

1. I love Olivia Munn. I think she's hilarious.


2. My new show that makes me cry every freakin' week... Biggest Loser. It used to be Extreme Home Makeover but I stopped watching cause it just got a little to over the top for me. I can't even remember what I was crying about last night, but I'm pretty sure I teared up at least 4 times. Redonkulous.

3. I took this picture outside our gym the other day. I thought it was funny. If you put fog lights or whatever these are on a Hummer it just says Umme. As in, "Umme, why are you driving such an enormous car?"

I'm it!

Em tagged me, here's the scoop...

1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.

2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.

3) Explain the picture.

4) Tag 4 people to do the same. No cheating (cropping, editing, etc.)

This was taken December 14th, so B is 2 days old. We were trying to take a picture for her announcement/our Christmas card... hence the bow on her noggin'. She's so tiny compared to the person who is unloading all my shoes from the shoe rack right now.

I only know 4 people with blogs, so I will tag Kale and Erin, Mike, Hayley, and Ben. If I had to guess I would say only one of them will do it, but you're it!
