Ups and Downs

So have I mentioned yet that we are all feeling SO much better (from the stomach flu)!!! We started feeling better last week! BUT then Gavy started getting sick again... He has a terrible cough, and a VERY runny nose. I took him to see the doctor last week and she thinks its just bad allergies so he is on some Claritin right now but it doesnt seem to be working.. we may have to make another trip back to the doctor this week.

Kris' job isnt doing well. He has known for a while that they werent doing well, but he just recently found out that they have filed for bankruptcy.... yikes. So he is very stressed out right now but I'm trying to keep him calm and motivated. He has been looking for a new job but hasnt had much luck. He has an interview this week with someone so we're hoping it turns out good.

The new house is being put together quickly (following the rainy days we had). They are finishing up plumbing this week, then they will start framing. Claire's house is going to be started this week also. We were out there Friday night and met two more sets of our neighbors... They were very friendly and seem to be fun people. We keep getting more and more excited!

We had an open house yesterday, then right after that we had a two hour showing. We never got that offer we were hoping for before, but those are the people that came back yesterday for the two hour showing. They've got a house to sell, but they really love ours so we're trying to work up a deal where we stay in this house until November then they move in when we move out. That way they wouldnt have to worry about making two mortgages, and we wont have to get an apartment for 2 months. So hopefully it will work out.

As for today, I've got this little stool that Gav uses when he brushes his teeth in the bathroom and stuff. It was passed down from Kris' grandfather.... His great grandfather made it and Kris, Conner, and Courtney used it and now it is Gavin's. It is still in good shape, but needs some sanding and painting done to it so we're about to head up to Home Depot to get some stuff to fix it up with. I will take before and after pics!!!

Well thats all for now. I'm hoping Gav will start feeling better soon, Kris will have a new job, and we will have a sold house!!! lol A little too much to wish for? Maybe.
