Well, our 2nd showing must have gone pretty well because they came back yesterday for a 3rd look! Their realtor called and told me they'd narrowed their choices down to four houses, ours being one of them. The wife was going to fly back to their home in Denver last night and I think they were going to try and reach a decision by the time she left. We're waiting to hear back from our realtor on whether or not we have an offer. I'll be sure to keep you posted on any new developments!
On Thursday afternoon, we had such nice weather that Chris was able to talk me into going out with him on the golf course. Shh...don't tell him, but I had a really good time! We don't want to make this a habit, you know? Here he is on the green getting ready to chip and putt. He definitely has big dreams of playing in the Master's one day! As I always say, "If you're gonna dream...dream BIG!"
I'm going play a little 'catch up' now because there are a few things I completely forgot to post about earlier. Well, as you know, April 1st was April Fool's Day. I tried and tried to think of a trick I could play on Abby, but I kept drawing a blank. So, I decided to zap her with Silly String, instead. Poor thing never saw it coming, either! I called her into my bathroom and instructed her to close the door behind her. I had her thinking I had a deep, dark secret to share. Then, I pounced out of the closet and covered her from head to toe with that sticky, foamy concoction! It took her FOREVER to get it out of her hair...but it was SO worth it!
That evening, we celebrated Chris's birthday a day early. I made him a yummy cake and he gobbled it right up! Of course, no one can hold a candle to his baking abilities. He can make the most symmetrical cakes you've ever laid your eyes on! It's quite the treat to watch him prepare one! If I bake a cake that has air bubbles in it, he's sure to point them out to me. He's definitely set the bar very high.
The morning of his actual birthday, we got in the car and drove two hours to Auburn, AL. to watch Brittany compete in an outdoor track meet at Auburn University. It felt so good to see her, again, and to be able to hug her! Here she is getting ready to warm up before her race.
And off they went! She ran in the 3K and here she is trying to make her move.
She'll be moving back home about the second weekend in May...and I can hardly wait! I do have one concern, though...where in the world are we going to put all of her STUFF? That could prove to be the challenge of a lifetime!
Well, I should be all caught up now. Sometime this week, I plan to tell you about a book I just finished that's a 'must have', in my opinion, for any mother of a daughter. It was so good I could hardly put it down! It captured so many of the emotions I've gone through this past year with having Brittany away at college and am now facing knowing that Abby will be entering her freshman year of high school in the fall. I promise...it's a KEEPER!
Hope y'all had a wonderful weekend...I'll be making my rounds to pay you a visit real soon!
