Pool Time and Memorial Day Weekend!

Yay for the long weekend! 
We spent lots of time (with lots of sunscreen) at the pool this long weekend.
It was our first weekend at the Elk Fork Country Club, where I grew up going to the pool, as did Mom.
It hasn't changed much, but it's a good size pool, there's normally someone around for the kiddos to play with and it's never too crowded.
So we spent Friday afternoon late, Saturday, and Sunday there.  Monday we went over to Jarrod's (a good friend from college who lives about 15 miles away) house with his wife Traci and their 2 kiddos and swam in their pool! 
Swimming makes for long naps and good nights sleep for Bean!
Ben and Nick played 9 holes of golf Sunday afternoon, so overall we had a good and relaxing weekend.
I have a few pictures below.
One day soon I should be able to make a post saying we've closed on this house, close, but not yet.  Hopefully tomorrow.  Grrrrr.  It's driving me nuts!







Swimming is hard work, must refuel!

Getting Closer!

We are getting closer and closer to having this house sold!

Ben and I went back up Saturday am to get the final stuff, vacuum and say fair well!

Didn't take long! Other than dropping off the garage door opener and couple extra keys, we are done!!

Looks like we may close this coming Friday!!!!

I spent this weekend cleaning and organizing so I can spend ALL of next weekend at the pool with Bean and Sue!

In other news, I'm running another half marathon, in December, in Memphis, where it's FLAT!! Yippee!

Here's some pictures:

Mother's Day Weekend and a Move

Mother’s Day Weekend and a Move

I’m afraid Mother’s Day weekend pretty much was overshadowed
by the need to get everything out of our house this weekend. 

The appraisal came back good, so back to the back to
underwriting again and we should close late this week or early next week.  I am SO ready to close.

But that means all the crap that we left in the house needs
to be removed because we set it up so they could take possession at the
closing.

Friday Ben and I went up and loaded boxes and as much of
anything else that we could.

We came back to Elkton in time for the 5K I had registered
for sometime ago.  It was at 5:30
PM.  Susan and I did it while pushing M
in the stroller in 37:07.  Improving, I
still want to be under 35 minutes soon.

Here’s a few pictures of that.

Saturday Ben, myself, Mallory, Mom and Susan headed back to
Utica and Bud and Susan met us there as well. 
So we spent ALL DAY loading up the rest of our crap, another full semi
load full.  We have a lot of stuff that
we need to get rid of.

We came home Saturday night and crashed.  Sunday it was church and then Bud and Susan
headed back to Sikeston, so it just wasn’t much of a fun Mother’s day for any
of the mother’s in our immediate family. 
I need to figure out how to best make that up to everyone!

Sunday night we went over to Aunt Sharon’s for a Mother’s
Day dinner there which was nice.  We took
a few pictures and here’s some of those.

Fingers crossed we get this house scheduled for closing
asap!!

Slacking

Sorry I've been slacking lately in posting, trying to get everything finished up with the house has just been eating into time.
I'm still waiting on the appraisal to come back on our house in Utica and as long as that's fine (fingers, toes, legs all crossed) we should close next week.  I just don't think I'll rest easy until it's closed.
Here's a few pictures of Bean from the last couple weeks, I know that's what people want most anyway : )
