I have a belly like that, but no baby
??)
what a great way to celebrate two births and the new year! 
Lisa, is Logan a senior this year?
(Though I'm not really sure where that time went. 
)
Yes, he is!
he's about the same age as our pastor's son, that's why I asked. Omgoodness, time has flown 
What an exciting time for Logan! 
I hope you get to spend as much time with her as possible in her last few days here!
Yes, he is!
Scary stuff...I'm not quite sure I'm ready for the real world! Can I stay at the beach a few more years?? 
You're close to the beach, right??

) and plan to give him another $50-100 whatever day he chooses to finish.
Me neither!
I swear just a couple of months ago I was a freshman in college and now I'm graduating in a little more than 4 months?
Pssst LISA! Can I move in with you in Florida?
I married into the greediest, money-grubbingest family EVER!
Our house came with appliances. Tom and I got HE Whirlpool front-loaders about a year ago .... (washer/dryer)
...WELL. It's a gas dryer. The hookups in the new house are electric and we don't want to run a gas line because we're going to add a laundry room eventually so why run the gas line that will eventually be obsolete if we don't HAVE to? We figured we'd use our HE washer and the electric dryer in the meantime, no big deal, kwim?
So far we have received a call from Joe (brother), John (cousin), Jim (uncle), Ivy (grandmother) and Tony (down the street) wanting the washer and dryer we "got for free with the house"..
UH. We paid for them, they were written into our contract. (Er, well, we'll start paying for them Feb. 1st anyway
I just seriously cannot get past this family who consistently expects something for absolutely nothing.
Nevermind when we bought our HE pair we gave Joe (brother!) the old set!
...but in good news, a member of his family who has essentially been blacklisted by the others (heck if I know why, I liked him a lot!), is completely redoing our bathroom which used to look like this:
Today alone...
- Ripped out all the floor tile (asbestos)
- Removed the tub (cast iron)
- Got rid of the sink and toilet-- notice the PINK!)
- Put down a new floor (the lady must not have realized the tub needed new grout, water was getting underneathe the floor and had rotted out a part of the old floor, but we knew that from the home inspection)
- Tore out the mini-wall where the shower head is to replace some plumbing and lay the new floor
- Rebuilt the wall he tore out
- Re-tiled the mini blue-tiles he had to knock off to remove the tub (he took them off so carefully, they can be put back on, he only broke TWO)
- Removed the wallpaper
- Sanded/patched imperfections in the wall so the paint will look better
- Removed the medicine cabinet and capped this useless wire behind it and ran fresh wire to give us a recepticle (this bathroom had NONE!
AND He's going to go back Friday or Saturday to finish painting, finish the plumbing, lay in the new bathtub, put in a new toilet, new medicine cabinet, lay ceramic tile for our floor, grout around the tub and seal it all.
We bought all the supplies but for labor he asked for a measley $160.
He's been there since 6am, we left him at 9:30pm and he was still working.
We gave him $200 tonight (but he doesn't know that, he didn't count it.. Merry Christmas, Nick!
Amazes me that this is the cousin that is blackballed.
and the people who spend time being jealous miss out on some super friends.)
HAPPY
