Congratulations....

First of all...CONGRATULATIONS DAWN AND PJ! They are expecting their first baby. I am so happy for you guys, you will be great parents!

Wow, I just can't seem to get back to bloggin'. Let's see if I can catch up.......

Larry and I left for Ft. Riley on Sun. Jan. 4th leaving the house in the hands of our realtor. Ooops, rewind...we were getting the house cleaned after the holidays so it would be clean when we left. On Sat. the 3rd we were outside noticed our faucet that is free standing close to the garage. It had a drip that had turned to a fast leak and Larry said he would replace the faucet. We went back inside to finish up some other stuff and a while later, I happen to look out the window and the back yard was a big puddle of water and river running down the driveway. It went from a drip, to a slow leak to water bubbling up like oil on the Beverly Hillbillies. We had about an hour of daylight to work on the leak. Ok, Larry had about an hour...I was just supportive. Ha! Poor guy, it was like diggin' in wet sand. He finally dug until he was in a waste deep hole. I went to Lowes to get a light to hang for him to see then once he got to the problem I went to get what he needed to fix it. Around 9:30pm, he got it fixed only to turn the water on to find another leak. Off the water went for the night.

Sun. morning, Larry started early finishing up the repairs. He was finally was finished around noon. We finished cleaning doing all the things that required 'water' to finish. We finally left home late in the afternoon. We went to drop Molly off with Beckie and to visit Mike, Shelly and Anderson. They were leaving for Mike to attend a school and we wont see them until about April. So I had to go get an Anderson fix...and of course see Mike and Shelly too. Shelly sent us off to Riley with a goodie bag of snacks.

We finally made it to Riley around 9:30pm.

There is more but it's late so I'll continue later.
