Housing and Packing update, oh and some Pics too.

Well we had offers in on two houses up in the Minneapolis area and found out last night that, one of the offers, (the cheaper of the two) was not accepted. So technically, even though we're living in a house, we're homeless. Now I know, for those of you reading this... (Beth, Nicholle) we can stay with you, but you know what I mean.

I'll definatly let everybody know when we know something new.

Packing is going. Neither well nor bad. Tim has had work so we haven't packed together. Yesterday I packed about 25 tubs in the box truck after condensing that number from about 35. I took the empty tubs in the house and then packed those. Luckily I didn't hurt my back as I was afraid but at 2 a.m. I decided Tylenol would be my friend and I could get some sleep. OH! I am so sore today.

I was able to weed out a bunch of stuff for the thrift store and found a couple things that I brought in the house that I'd been looking for. (baby stuff)

I also brought in my saddle. (hee hee) Here is where my absolute hick roots will show.


Why you ask. Because of my motives of bringing it in. It needs oil. Horribly. I haven't oiled it since we moved to MN. But that's not the only reason why. Prepare yourself to roll your eyes. hahaha.

When I was a kid my dad used to bring home his saddle, once a year, generally in the winter time to oil it and make sure it was ready for the next springs use. He would have it smack dab in the middle of my mom's living room. Now for those of you who know my mother you know she HATES horses. She hates everything to do with horses and absolutely despised whenever my dad would bring his saddle home. For the one main reason: his saddle stunk up the house when it warmed up.

Why did I bring my saddle in the house?


Yeah, I wanted it to "stink" up my house. I miss home horribly and well... I guess I just wanted that smell. Most everybody knows my favorite smell? Horse sweat and leather. Sick I know but hey, I'm weird, what can I say.

So I am now waiting patiently for my saddle to warm up enough, to smell it up. hahahaha! I did snap some great shots of the kids on it though. To bad I didn't' have a better backdrop than the kitchen.















I even leaned Levi up against it but you can't see the saddle very well. I did get a great shot of his beautiful smile.
