How do you spell "vaklempt" ????

 

[VACAMPER]

Wow, Jen! I almost want to have another baby. NOT! 3's enough.

In case anyone has a bug to camp this weekend. I saw where the KOA's are doing their annual Camp & Care weekend. If you say on Friday night you get Sat. free. The money raised on Fri. night goes to support awareness for childhood cancer.

This is what we did last year for Mother's Day. I wanted to do the Fort this year, but we may end up doing it again next year b/c Ben will be in Kindergarten. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but he got into the local Science, Math & Technology Magnet School, so he can only miss 10 unexcused days or he won't be eligible for next year. If this is what we do next year, maybe we'll go to the MIMS KOA. I think that's where we're going to go this year for 4th of July (IF we can go now), if we don't get to go to the Fort.

Jen that is so sweet. Good job!!

Shannone, congrats on the house! It's beautiful!

Ok, I have to go pickup my 2 hoodlins from daycare. I'll see if I can get back on tomorrow, but not sure about that.

Then the next day we go to the fort!!

I know the insurance didn't change b/c I just saw the paperwork on that again & it's the same price as last year.

Are you required to have flood insurance? Our flood goes up every year...but so does the homeowners....and our taxes have doubled in the last 5 years from 6 to 1200 a year.


JEN...what a great gift to the Olson clan. You DO rock, girl!!!!

Happy Camping Shannone!

Thanks. We SHOULD probably be packing or something....but we made these plans back on the winter. My mom is camping next to us, and both of my sisters have rented kabins. It's going to be a fun weekend.

This house is big...but I don't think it will take more than a week to get everything boxed up. The clothes in the dressers will just get tossed into large garbage bags at the last minute. We are going to hire a moving company to actually move everything over.

Yep, the first year after you purchase a house is always a weird case on the escrow. They seem to ALWAYS underestimate what you have to pay for your escrow reserves. It happened to us, it happened to my BIL a couple of years ago when he bought his house, (but not $500/mo, more like $50/month)

Once you get the escrow reserves where they need to be, things will settle down and only go up a little each year as they reassess, and your insurance goes up.

Oh FYI, here is the link to my camping trip in the Blue Ridge mountains.

Seriously, I am in awe of this place. Look what we just got in the mail from Jen (AuburnJen). It is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, and Beth could not get enough of it, she LOVES it. I definitely know what he'll be wrapped in on all his Disney trips! This will be in our family for a long time Jen, you are AWESOME!

Jen, you are an amazing woman, and I can't tell you how many blessing we just said in your honor.

I hope you don't mind me sharing this with everyone, it is unbelievable!!!

Front:

This is just plain incredible!!!!! Jen, you are too wonderful for words!

We're camping this weekend, too. Not at a KOA, though. Maybe I should change our ressies! We're headed back to Williamsburg and Busch Gardens.

 

[Us3]

Cool, its a camping weekend! We're off to the lake again this weekend too!

Jen -
You sure spread a LOT of "Pixie Dust" in the Olsen household!

What a lovely and thoughtful gesture.... and one I'm sure will be a part of little Reilly's life, forever!!

Who knew such talented people "live" on this board!



Jody - Sorry about the huge increase in your escrow. That same thing happened to us in 2004 when we closed on our house. I knew it was a sure possibility, so stashed some $$ away to pay the escrow shortage in a lump sum. That lowered the payment increase, somewhat. I would much prefer to handle my own escrow, but BOA doesn't allow for that (not that I blame them).

This thread is cool I guess, I just hope nothing important or valuable is posted here or if it is it is posted in the appropriate thread or even as a new topic. I'm not trying to be a "wet towel", but I'm just not into reading all this drivel and useless stuff in this thread.

[rant off]

Carry on and enjoy and this is the first time or maybe the second that I have looked at this thread since it was restarted.

So....any guesses for who is getting sent home tonight on Dancing with the Stars ??

 

[Shannone1]

Mitzi, our puppy was spayed today and the poor little girl is pretty out of it. She is sitting here on the sofa next to me and picks her head up, moans, and gives me a sad look before dropping her head back down. I feel AWFUL !!
