A busy couple of weeks

I have been so busy lately, but it has been a fun kind of busy. We had out of town company for a couple days and we have been looking at lake front property to buy - a place to retire to in a few years.

The company was my husband's brother-in-law and his niece. They drove down from Delaware, stopped in here, and then she was heading on to Austin and UT. She is working on her Masters degree as a music major. We don't get to see family very often since everyone lives either up north or in Florida, so it was fun having them here.

We found our dream home and actually made a deal with the builder and signed a contract on the house today! I absolutely love the house. It is brand new and right on the lake! We even have two boat slips. Now we need a boat and a couple of jet skis! We could move in a matter of weeks. Whew, there is a lot of work ahead - packing, moving, getting our current house ready for selling, etc. But I am up to the challenge and so excited about it all.

My youngest son is kind of sad about the move since he considers this house his home, even though he grew up mostly in Baton Rouge. He now lives in Florida and says he will come help us move so that he can say good bye to the house and neighborhood that he loves. Awww.. I told him that he will love the new house. All it will take is for him to visit one time after getting the jet skis or boat and he goes for a ride! What fun! I had such an exciting day today!!
