House update,

Okay, well unfortuatly if you want to see how the house is progressing, just look at last weeks pics. apparently it has still been rainy and wet, and so not much has been done. I didn't want to bore you with the same pics. Well they have put sealant one the concrete, and done some plumbing work, but that is about it. We have been able to choose the color of the house. It is going to be country red, also called burgundy. With clay colored trim. And we have chosen the carpet and the flooring. But that is going to change, I want Bamboo flooring, but that will add about 2200$ and Michael can do it for about 1000$, so we are going to wait and change it later! Otherwise our summer is going well, it is hot, but now we at least have a pool pass, and can go swimming everyday! I want to thank Becky, for the great book recommendation, Twillight, and New Moon and I will start Eclipse today. Also thank you to my supplier, Melanie thank you for letting me borrow the books!!!! I haven't been able to put them down since I picked them up!! I must have way to much time on my hands!

SUMMER IS HERE!

I know, one month!! Those last few weeks of school burned me out. Though I have to say I miss all the activities, I find mmyself twiddling my thumbs. Unfortunatly the whole purpose of us staying throught he summer, was the pool, and of course the pool has not even open yet. :Let me tell all of you military families out there, once your housing goes privitized, it is time to get out! They had the whole winter, and in Texas you really can't call what we have a real winter, to fix the pool. So we are stuck with the hundred degree temps and no pool!!
I also have realized that I haven't shared with all of you that we have bought a house!! We are going to be moving to South Dakota, and we are going to be there at least 5 years. So we have found a house, right off base, and no it isn't a manufactured home, they have started building a lot of newer homes just east of the School, and we are having a home built for us! It is less then a mile from the school and so we can walk to school. It is a huge house, with a huge lot! It is even at the end of a cul-de-sac. You know the checklist that you have, with everything you want in a house. We I would say that 99% of the list is checked off. These are some of the pics of what the house looks like now. It has a walk out basement, and 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, So there is going to be plenty of room for anyone that wants to visit! Okay no pics I can't figure out how to get them from my email to this blog. I will post those pics when Michael gets home and can show me how.
