Drive-by Blogging

So, life has been quite busy. I miss blogging, but thought I'd at least make an appearance...show a few pics...

Our life has been consumed with house-hunting as of late. Blagh! It's fun the first 3 houses or so, but come house 501, it loses it's luster. We saw two today that were pretty old and trashed. Tomorrow we have an appt to see a new one and one that we saw last week that we want to see again. It's a bit further out than we want to live, but it's a very nice house. We'll see. Please pray!!

Saturday we had a babyshower for my friend Mandy who just had her second child - a girl this time. Her son and Rusten are best friends, as they are only about 3 months apart in age. It was a very nice shower and she got a lot of stuff!! Here's a pic of the gift me and my mom bought her:

The wrapped items are some wipes and a grooming kit.

After the shower, we went and saw another house (surprise!). We liked it and put an offer in on it, but were informed that they could only submit offers that were prequalified through Countrywide in the first 45 days it's on the market. We have 2 weeks to go before we can resubmit an offer. We'll keep praying - who knows, maybe something better will come on the market. Then we went back to Mandy's house and hung out for awhile. Her husband Darrell and Rich are good friends - we're there quite often!

Sunday was just another Sunday. Church, lunch, naps.... Then we went to the mall so I could buy some new clothes (that fit) with my birthday money. However, just so you know, the mall closes at 6 on Sundays...oops! We enjoyed a nice dinner at Red Robin since we were there. Here's Rusten contemplating his pizza...

To eat, or not to eat

Mmmmm...

Tomorrow is library day, but in light of our house viewing, I'm not sure we're going to be able to do it all. We also have a haircut scheduled for Rusten. Another busy day!

Well, I have to go feed Reed one more time, then I can crash for the night! Yeah!!! And to sign-off, here's a picture of beautiful Bako. I took dinner to some friends on Friday night, and as I was driving there, the sun was a beautiful shade of orange, so I took the shot...

For you locals, this is at the intersection of White and Old River.
