Let the house hunt begin! Last weekend was definitely a busy one. On Saturday, we took a ride through most of Midland on a hunt for that “perfect” house. We went up this street and down that one, we even went into Larkin Township. For those of you unfamiliar with the oh-so confusing town of Midland, that’s where the really rich people live. The houses nestled in the woods look more like castles than houses. Most of them were made out of some type of stone, and all were pretty huge-mungus (and just a little out of our price range…) There was an open house for one of these places, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to go in (even though I kind of wanted to). After oogling at the extremely nice houses (and figuring a way out of the woods), we drove by a few more houses we could realistically afford. On our way to church there’s this house on the corner (just down the road from Amy and Bill’s) that looks like it could be really nice. And every time we pass by the house we tell ourselves we should walk through the house. Well, sure enough this weekend we did. I called up the realtor and we had a private walk-through. It was pretty nice, but there wasn’t a walk-in closet in the master bedroom (apparently that’s important…) But, the big drawback was there wasn’t really a good place for a dining table. The realtor was pretty nice and now she has us set up to get emails about houses in the area. We’ll be going through another private walkthrough this weekend (maybe a few…) There’s another house we’ve had our eye on and I’m pretty excited about it (I suggested looking at this house a few months back…) Maybe if I get ambitious I’ll put pictures up of the houses we’re looking at.<\/p>\n
As for my job, yeah that’s pretty boring… My supervisor thinks I’m doing a good job (which I am \ud83d\ude09 ), but my job is more or less sitting in front of my computer and staring at a screen all day long. No typing, just staring (okay I lied, I did type this at work, but don’t tell anyone =P ) A position just opened in Mount Pleasant for a Network Technician, hopefully they’ll call me back for an interview. I’m also considering taking the GRE to be able to get into a graduate program in the area (even though Tech has already accepted me, but we won’t go there…)<\/p>\n
Scout’s been doing pretty good since her surgery last week. She still thinks she can sharpen her claws on the furniture which is kind of funny (though not as funny as when she tries to climb up the back of the chair…) She goes back for a checkup next Monday and to have her sutures removed, hopefully she’ll stay dry on the way there (and on the way home!) Other exciting news, the Colts finally made it to the Superbowl… after taking down their arch-nemesis the Patriots. I had planned to watch the game, but was pretty disappointed with the performance of the Colts during the first half. I went up stairs and watched online as the game progressed. I ended up catching the final few minutes on TV and was pretty pumped when the Colts intercepted Tom Brady’s pass to seal the victory (besides Tom’s got enough Superbowl rings…) The Colts ended setting a new NFL record for winning a conference championship after being down 18 points (go Peyton!) It’ll be a clash of the titans in a couple of weeks, I’ll be cheering for the Colts and Susan will be rooting for da Bears (horses can out run bears, so I already know who’s gonna win \ud83d\ude09 ).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
