I'm Ba..ack

I had a great time at Moms!!!!! We went to Wet N Wild almost every day for the first week. then I went to Dallas a few times. In Dallas I went to the lds book store, and Indian Restaurant I have always loved, and a really cheap jewelery store. I went driving (Golfing without moving) with Dad once. I went to Six Flags with mom and mel once. We even rented a movie twice. They were good movies. Then the last three days of vacation mom took me to go fishing and camping at Navajo Lake in Utah. Aunt Susan came with us and we had a BLAST!!! We drove there and read Harry Potter on the way, we got there and we were going to camp in tents but we asked if they had a cancellation for their cabins and they said they did so we took that Cabin. We went fishing that night and Aunt Susan caught 2 and Mom caught 1, we cooked those for dinner with some other sides and then we went to sleep. Those beds were sooooo hard!!!! But then mom and Susan got up early and they went fishing. I was still tired so I slept in. Then they came back we got breakfast made and then we packed up and had to check out of the cabin. Then we rented a boat and we trolled to a spot and went bottom fishing. And we didn't really have any luck with that spot so we trolled some more and we didn't have any luck trolling so we went to Mom's favorite spot. That is when the fishing got good!!! We caugt our limit for the day within an hour or two! And I even caught 3 fish myself!!! So then we parked the boat to go have lunch and as we left the rain started falling. So we stayed in the car thinking it was a typical storm that would blow over in 20 minutes like they get all the time. But it wasn't so we decided to head for the little tourist town down the road. we walked around a little bit and then decided the storm was not going to blow over so we just decided to go home. We read Harry on the Way home and then I saw Becky Eades. We went to the distribution center and another LDS book store the next day before we got on the plane. We had bought so many things in Utah we couldn't get in Texas our bags were soooo packed we had a hard time getting our bags closed. but we made it and then I came home the next day. I loved my vacation and I feel much better.
We are still trying to decide where we are going to go. I think we are leaning towards Texas. It was so nice to be with my family, and signing with them again, and Mom drove her butt off for Beck, it would be nice to have that support for our family. Plus we miss our friends. And the school in Richardson which is around Dallas it has a prety good chemistry school, and en even better law school. So we are leaning that way. Which would mean selling our house, and all that.

Vacation

I am here at Mom's. I needed a vacation so here I am. Mom is real nice and good to me. She already got me a season pass to wet and wild and Six flags. I have gone once on Saturday morning, and I am going again this morning. The nice thing is I can go anytime I want and I don't have to stay all day. I only have to stay as long as I want, or until the lines get long. We are going to do that this morning. And then go to Costco and get food and then we are going to have a barbeque with Linda and her Mom tonight with some good spring rolls, and shrimp chips.
And good news on a different note. I am getting another listing I think. It is a foreclosure and they emailed me and asked me to do it for htem. I hope they will give it to me anyway. You never really know with the foreclosure companies.

Bad News

I am just heart sick. We went on a walk/hike Tuesday evening to go look at some land that is for sale by Grandmas house. After the walk I started to cramp a little bit. I thought it was just from walking too much. Well I got home and Eric got a call to go give a blessing to one of our members kids. He was dehydrated really bad. well while he was gone I went to the Bathroom and discovered that I was bleeding. I was so scared. I tried to call eric, and as soon as he was done with the blessing he rushed home picked me up and took me to the emergency room. I only live 5 minutes away and that was nice. We got admitted right away which was a first but my blood pressure was 177/95. They came in and told me that the ultrasound machine was closed for the holidays, so they had to take some blood and do a pelvic exam. They did that and he said that all was not lost there was a chance that we could still keep the baby. But then after the blood test came back he said that my levels were too low and I had lost the baby.
I am staying here till I can get this house closed if it is possible, becuase it looks like all the companies are closed till monday. We have to close by monday. I hope it all works out. I will be sooo mad if it does not. I have done sooo much work on this house.
Anyway after the closing I am going down to Texas to see Mom for about 2 weeks. I am taking Caleb so Eric can go to school without worrying about whether he has a babysitter or something to do. Caleb will miss the rest of his classes but I think it is best. And Mom has not seen him for a long time. It is summer so my sisters will hopefully have some times to watch him. And I get to see Mom's new house, and Jeanne and George are still going to be in Texas so they can take him to do some fun things too.
I will be fine. I have had a blessing and I get to see my Baby again someday. So I will be fine.

UGHHHHH!

This fix I was talking about for my listing, well it usually takes 7-10 business days for them to fax us what we need. I do not have 7-10 business days! And it does not help that 4th of July falls in there! That is one less business day for them to work on it! They started on it yesterday and That means I have monday, tuesday, thursday, friday and we need it by monday. I hope they can get it to us by then. I should probably check to see if we can close on Monday or if we have to close sooner then that. I can't close on Sunday maybe we can close on Saturday. I have to make more phone calls.
Oh, and it is no longer comfortable to sit and bend over, I just don't have the room anymore!

Many new updates

I have been crazy busy last week. First I had to take Caleb to school on Tuesday through Thursday, then I had to try and physically haul this deal to the closing table. My listing that I found buyer for, I have had to make call after call, to everybofdy involved in this deal, from the mortgage broker to the foreclosure company hired to put the property through foreclosure. I have had to call the buyer and the seller, and the closing agent, and then the buyers attorney friend, and all over and over to try and straighten things out. I think I can see the end though!!!! I have until the 9th to get it fixed or I have done it all for nothing anyway. Then We went to9 chillicothe last week and we were going through the usual stores we can't find like cici's sams, the complete pet mart or something like that and we went to a sports store for some stuff for our 72 hour kits and then we walked down to best buy. In there they had a dyson on sale. It was one of the floor models so it was used, but not that bad, and of course it had the scuffs and stuff and I could live with that. It didn't come withe the box or the paper work but that is okay becuase the warranty is all online anyway. So we got it super on sale, and the old one went capput and so we have been without a vacuum for a while. I am sick and tired of vacuums losing suction and not getting everything so I was extremely happy to find one on sale. It was still a little expensive but this vacuum is easy to maintenance ourselves, and has a lifetime filter warranty, and it will last a long time.
So anyway, at Sams we got an inversion table for Erics back.
Then also I had several showings, and I have been working with several clients. Then of course grocery shopping, and church, and meetings, and deciding what to do in our future. It has been crazy.
We found out what Eric made on his LSAT. And it is good enough to get in to law school but not one with the prestige he is looking for and they don't start until next fall anyway, so we have decided to go to Grad school for chemistry in the spring. We still cannot decide between Columbus and Texas, there is a good Grad program at Rice university. We love the climate up here, but we miss our friends and family so much. It is such a toss up I am not kidding!
We have also been looking at some land out in the country next to our grandmother out there. It is right next to hers and they only want 30000 for 44 acres. which is a good deal if it is marginally good land, which I mean some hills, and some flat, and some trees. We were going to offer 500 an acre which is really good. But this is all just a thought.
So this next week, I have more meetings. I still have to work on this closing. I have some appointments, and some offers to make. Caleb still goes to school. And there is a new miniature golf ourse open. We were going to go to that maybe this week.
And Of course watch fireworks on wednesday and have a picnic too.
