Then the fun begins. I remember being quite overwhelmed at the amount of expenses after moving into our last home...and this won't be any different except for more expenses!!! The sheetrock is up and the mudding/taping are just finishing up. So, maybe 3 weeks of actual work left to do. Starting to get bids on a fence we'll need to put up immediately. Also need window well covers. So that's like 8k right there. Then blinds...then paint. Then finish basement.
Anyway, the kids are doing well. Only three weeks from tomorrow until adoption date. It looks like it will be the 3 younger kids for now. N probably will get his license soon. D will probably practice this summer to get ready for freshman football. G will probably continue to be the little kid he is. R had her visit to the dr the other day and was a pro. I was so proud of her. She is growing up so fast. Y is doing well in school and continues to pick up things quick. She is pretty much on grade level in almost every subject. We are very proud of her as well. All of them seem to be doing pretty well and we have seen a lot of progress in different areas...sometimes the areas in which we don't see everyday or the one's we want, but progress nonetheless.
Work is going well. I love handling attorney represented claims. Attorneys are such schmucks. It's amusing to say the least.

sounds like things are going really well for you guys. so glad the house is getting done and the kids are doing well. wish i could see a pic of them to put a face with how great they are :) hope utah is treating you well!
They didn't include a fence, blinds and 8000 worth of work?
Exciting that the adoption date is so soon!
Fencing is way expensive. Luckily our federal housing bailout money will mostly cover it. It will probably be $7500 just for that. We have about a third of an acre and that is a lot of fencing. Not having fencing included probably stems from a lot Utahns used to have open yards? So most builders don't include the vinyl fences. New houses in Utah don't include many extras...pretty bare bones. We coulde have paid like $1500 for blinds, but we wanted a few different kinds that they didn't have.
Yep adoption date in 3 weeks and then sealing date on July 3 at the Oquirrh Mountain temple. We are excited.
