Update Post

So, here we are, almost a month after my last post. I know, I know, I've been lacking in the blog category. I have either been too busy to make any entries, or haven't really had anything to say.

First off, Conman's midget league football team is undefeated for the regular season. They are playoff - bound, and have earned home-field advantage during the playoffs. They're a good bunch of boys, and the team's REALLY developed over the season. I have confidence in them that they'll do well during the playoffs.

The midget league homecoming game was a roaring success. I had to paint 30 mini football plaques with 26 player names and numbers and 4 coaches. Add to that the huge poster I had to make to put the little footballs on, plus Conman's personal poster, and we had to paint a pumpkin, too, for the display. We did it all in about four days. It was a marathon, but we got it done and I was pleased with the results.

Vacation's coming up at the end of the month. DH and I are heading to the beach (yes, the same beach we want to move to...read on...) for about 4 days. We have some pretty special plans for the trip. It's our 10-year anniversary AND our birthday trip, so we've got lots on the table for the trip. I'm exceptionally excited about it, and can't wait to get down there again. Excited, excited, excited.

So, the move has almost ground to a halt. We can't get the down payment together, and the way the economy is right now we won't be able to get a loan without a down payment. Renting is just about out of the question because the cost of per-month rent is just about double what a house payment would be. No thank you, I'd rather have something to show for it if I'm going to pay THAT much a month...

Anyway, that's about where we're at right now. Not much to tell, just a little update on what's going on 'round these parts.
