Goodness

Well it has been awhile since I posted but hey we have been very busy. The house is pretty much good to go. Although I wouldnt want company tomorrow we could pull it off. We have spent a lot of money on furniture but we needed it so it has been ok. Friday We get a new dining table and chairs as well as a matching bakers rack, this should help with some storage issues. In a few weeks we should also get a new Bureau which is good as of right now we have no where to put stuff.

The dogs are adjusting good and I am ready for my first Turkey day away from home ever. I miss my aunt, and I am going to miss dueling turkeys but I have hubbs and we will be fine. I am making baked apples for my desert and a pumpkin pie for him. I have never made any of this stuff before so we shall see how it comes out.

Next week I start taking Gaven to obedience classes. He needs some work so we can control him better. The dogs are not fighting except when playing and we tend to wear them out by bed time every night but Elsa is completely untrained and well although it is obvious Gaven has had some training he chooses when to remember it. We figure Gaven will be the biggest handful so he gets training first. The car is taken care of and I am now legal in Georgia, at least for now. The taxes here are very different from California so it is confusing. I also found out today that I qualify for unemployment so I have to start job hunting so I can get my check :). A part of me doesnt want to go back to work but more of me really wants to.

Wow it has been 14 days since I last wrote. Well I have been a lil busy. Well we got here and found a house it closed the first week of this month. Our stuff was delivered the next day and our dogs arrived a week later. So things have been busy. We love it here. Hubbs is on leave so he is going to help me finish unpacking and getting things done and then I get to start looking for a job yippee skippy. Truth is I would love to go to work this not working thing has gotten old fast. Next week I also have to get the car registered and apply for unemployment. I will probably do all of that tomorrow. Hmmm I wonder if I can post pics. yay I figured out how.

Things are pretty nuts around here. All of the appliances need to eventually be replaced and we don't have much in the way of furniture but we managed to get a sweet deal on an entertainment center and bookcase from a place that is going out of business so that is great. We found the Super Walmart and Sam's Club and although I tend to despise their practices towards employees I do have to admit the prices are good and we do need the money to be saved.

the dogs are absolutely wonderful and sleeping right now under my desk but I guarantee as soon as I moove it will be Gaven the Energizer bunny-butt followed slowly and cautiously by his sister Elsa :)

Ok I have been nervous to write for fear of jinxing anything but here goes. The house inspection went fairly well. It is a 20 year old house that has never been upgraded so it had some 20 year old issues. My wonderful wonderful realtor seems to have worked it all out though all of the improvements will be made and taken care of except for half the roof. We are ok with that part of the deal. We are set to close late Thursday afternoon. I am ecstatic and cannot even beleive it. We have even started talking to a dog rescue and instead of one dog we will be getting 2 lil bundles of joy to love. I am soooooo excited. Everything else is falling into place I am just dying to start looking for work again. But also very excited to have a home and doggies for it.

Today I had to deal with Army medical and oh boy was that a joy and a half but thanfully I was finally able to figure out how to get my medicaion refilled. I have an appointment to review the meds this week.

I will continue the updates as much as I can.
