House Adventures

Day 1 was pretty uneventful - just cleaning, fixing, etc.

Day 2 we were rudely approached in our yard by a probable slum lord wanting to see the house, talk to our landlord, and wanting to know how long our lease is for.

Day 3 my mom came up and we knocked out a bunch of work, including picking up the walnuts so we can mow.  It also brought to light a 4-year old secret that doesn't have to be hidden now. ;-)  We also tried to stay our first night over, but the lack of pillows and dog food made us retreat back to Mounds for the night.

Day 4 was our first night to sleep in the house and I don't know that it was fully successful. We didn't do a lot to the house this day, but we kind of got to rest a little.

Day 5 was today. It was good to shave off the drive time and to have so many things accessible to us throughout the day. However, when we came home for "lunch," there was a mostly german shepherd running loose and was very friendly. A few minutes later we spotted a pit-looking dog that seemed to know the first dog. We spent a long time trying to figure out what to do w the dogs & even considered keeping them. We fed and watered them in the backyard while we called around to shelters. Finally, we decided to let them go and deal with them if they were here when we got back. About 5-10 minutes after we leave to take Jon to work, we get a call from landlord (a neighbor, too) saying that a lady called out 2 names and the dogs went running for her car. It would have been really awkward if we had kept them in our backyard like originally planned...haha. 

It seems that the fun has only just begun...
