Just what I needed...

We went up to the Dells with Kim & Collin this past weekend and had an awesome time. Between boating, beaching, eating, sunning & talking it was JUST what I needed. It's great to spend time with people who you don't have to entertain or look for things to talk about..but rather just relax and enjoy the relationship that has been growing into a friendship that Pete & I both needed. It was fun watching the boys be boys. They made friends at the beach and played the bean bag game for HOURS. Saturday was just adults while Makenzie was at the Jensens and Sunday we brought her with us. She did great and, as we guessed, loved the sand and water.

We lowered our house to the FINAL price so we'll see what happens. If it doesn't sell by Nov 1st then we've decided to take it off until the next Spring (it's hard keeping the house perfect between the home office and Mak)... so we have 5 months to just sit and wait. Our DREAM home is still up for sale so all we can hope for is that while we're waiting for this house to sell that the price on the house we want will continue to drop!! We've had lots of people interested, so hopefully when they see the crazy low price tag (which is still higher then the short sales in our neighborhood) they might make an offer.

We lost one of our truck drivers to a motorcycle accident Sunday, so please keep his family in your prayers. I know how they feel and they are going to need alot of help from God to get through these days.

Life has been hard for some time now, but I've noticed some positive things...

1) Work has been picking up at Catom

2) I am doing better at staying home by myself at the house

3) Mine & Pete's relationship is at a very strong point and we're on the same page as far as future plans go.

4) Timmy is coming to visit for two weeks in July
