Good afternoon...

Hello everyone. How are you all doing today? I am enjoying the sunshine while I get some things done around the house. Caleb and I are leaving on Sunday for Arizona, so I have been doing laundry and setting things aside to pack. We are having some people stay at our house so we don't have to put Bo at the boarding place, so I need to clean and go to the grocery store for them too! So much to do so little time.

So, that wind and rain sure was something yesterday wasn't it? Yeah, our creek was so full it totally flooded out our neighbors yard, but we are up on a little hill, so it didn't affect us too much. I went into the basement yesterday morning and it was a little wet, but it wasn't standing water, so that was nice. And then yesterday evening about 6:15 we had a tree fall down right beside our house. I was concerned that it was either going to fall on ours or our neighbors house, but it actually fell in just the right direction along our property line to the west. It was very convenient, but the tree will have to sit there until we get back from Arizona for Caleb to take it down.

In other news, we found out Monday that we are going to have a little boy this time. We are very excited. I am excited because it will give me some stuff to do. Like re-painting the room, packing away all the little girl things, and going to yard sales and other places to find little boy things! I am super excited. I have been looking at paint and I think I am going to try one of those special painting techniques they have out now. The one I like the most is called "combing". I plan on doing that to the bottom half of the room and the top half will just be a solid color. It will be a lot of fun because I am going to open the windows and do it myself and nobody is going to stop me!!!! Caleb didn't want me to be around the smell for the last baby, but I told him that I am doing it this time, I will wait until it is warmer and open the windows and he agreed, so I am excited.

Other than all that, laundry is calling my name, so I guess I better be on my way. Hope you all have a super weekend! It will probably be a week or so before I get back to you! Pray for a birdless flight for us!
