The demolition continues....
Jason has been spending every spare second in the closet lately, and hopefully he will not be coming out anytime soon. He has the washer and dryer are upstairs!!! YEAH!!! I have done laundry that I didn't have to cart up or down stairs! It is wonderful. There is still a lot of work to be done yet. Like put walls in...but hey, at least I am no longer carrying baskets up and down.
Slowly but surely
I have been trying to get back to the weight that I was when Jason and I got married...having three children did not help with that! I am very close now and decided the other day to see if I could get into my wedding dress. Well, here it is! I did it. It is pretty tight still, but it is zipped up.
When I had it on the kids were very excited and wanted to know why I was wearing a princess dress.

I never thought...
Today in the mail I received two subpoenas, yes I wrote subpoenas, and yes, TWO!!!
A couples weeks ago in the middle of the night Jason and I heard some kids outside. We got up, it was 2:20am, and looked out the window. There was a group of kids walking down the middle of the street, talking loudly, and carrying something. Jason said they must be delivering papers...then he said maybe they were collecting the papers (can you tell that he wasn't fully awake?). Anyway, we closed our windows and went to sleep.
The next morning at 6:30am the doorbell rang twice. Jason, who was just getting ready to leave for work, went down and answered the door. It was the police. They had caught one of the kids and were trying to find out everything that had happened during the night. Apparently they went around pulling out mailboxes (ours was thrown in the neighbors yard two doors down) and destroying random things.
Later that morning I was on the treadmill when Austin ran upstairs telling me that there was someone at the door. I jumped off the treadmill, dripping in sweat, and opened the door to another policeman. This time they were trying to get an estimate of how much damage was done by the delinquents. They took my name, my SSN, my DOB, and phone number.
When Jason came home he told me that the kids they caught was 20 years old. YES, 20!!! Most of us were married by that time, not walking through neighborhoods destroying things!
Anyway, so I am being subpoenaed to testify against two of the vandals...the sad part is we will still have to buy our own new mailbox!

Destruction to make life easier
A week or so ago Jason decided that he would like to move my laundry room upstairs. After many ideas were reviewed and discarded, we decided to tear out the wall that separates our master bedroom closet and our linen closet. This makes a nice big open room that Jason will run pipes, etc, into and then more the washer and dryer up. I am VERY excited about this. Right now he is cutting into the plumbing drain...I am a little nervous about this. He said he needed a towel that I wouldn't want back and also a cookie sheet....be nervous if I volunteer to bring you cookies anytime soon!
We will keep you updated and let you know how the demolition and remodeling is going!
