A Week in Review

This has been an extremely busy week for me...it started out with a busy week at work - I have been given additional responsibilities at work...which is good and bad. It's good because it keeps my mind occupied learning new things...bad because it cuts into my social time. I met and talked to several old friends this week - I love talking to and spending time with my friends...I have been so lucky in my life to have so many great friends!!!

Here's my office...where decisions which change the world are made...

My week was also spent looking at more houses (I think I'm up to 60 houses and counting)...there's Becky (my Real Estate Agent)...she's very good and patient. I never realized how hard Real Estate Agents worked until I started looking for a house...I run her ragged but she doesn't seem to mind. I'm hoping we will find a house within the next couple of weeks. We've found a nice neighborhood which would work out perfectly but we haven't found a house we BOTH like (that's my fault...I'm a little picky)...

I leave every Friday to go home. This week my plane was supposed to leave at 4:45 p.m. but because of bad weather we didn't take off until about 5:30 p.m. It was a bumpy ride home...but we made it...

On Saturday Cam had baseball practice...he was crushing the ball!! I am very proud of him!

On Saturday Kelsie had an all day volley ball tournament - she is excellent - I am also proud of her - she is a Daddy's girl!!!!

The majority of the weekend has and will be spent on cleaning the house. It's been a very big job...I guess I should have already cleaned it between the time we bought it and now ;-) ...

Just to make myself feel better I have included pictures of the rooms that are "done" (at least until the kids get to them)...

To keep me from getting too comfortable with our progress...the next picture is a good reminder that there is still a lot of work to do...

Sheri...forgive me for what I will be doing with all these things that have been sitting in our basement since we moved in...yes, the horse is...um...nice...but it's time to put her to sleep...and all the clothes for the "garage sale" well...sorry...oh yea, and the "desk"...it will never see another student's bottom...there are several other items that will never see the light of day again...forgive me...but I have to do what I have to do to fit your car in the garage.

I also came across some interesting stuff that I haven't seen in a long time. Here are a couple of drawings from my "Figure Drawing" class - when I was going to be a Commercial Artist.

Since it was a figure drawing class most of the drawings were of naked men and woman...sounds exciting doesn't it...not really...most of the models were over 85 years old..."excuse me miss, can you move your left boob...I'm about to draw your belly button...thank you" ;-)
