Sad Day

Well today didn't start to well. GAbe and Faith came up this morning to inform us that two our pond fish were missing and they couldn't find them. GReg and I got up to help find the fish and we found the remains of one just the jaw and some skin. We know that it was either a possum or a raccoon. Our last remaining fish was a little batter and I think so was Greg so first thing this morning we went down and got an aquarium for our last little fish hopefully with his injuries he will make it. we must say goodbye to our little friends.

Day on the bike trail

Imagine your are riding your bike with your kids in the back they are tired of riding and want to walk. You stop, let them out and start to follow them they are running on the side of the bike trail having a great time all of a sudden one then the other decide they need to push the buggy like your engine is stopped running. now this is fun and great they are having fun but then the people start coming by imagine the look on their faces as they walk, run, ride by and see two little kids pushing mom on the bike at a run and yelling faster and then you will know how this morning has went. I really wish I had pictures words can not discribe the looks or the fun Faith and Gabe have had.

You know sometimes the lord works in misterious ways. I was thinking about how I was going to replace the carpet that I ripped out of my basement before sunday. Ya know the house is for sale and I have an open house on sunday. Then I get the mail. now usually you only get bills and junk right. However on this lovely day that was Treavens birthday I got a check. It was not what I was expecting and it will cover the cost so I don't have to wait until thursday to replace carpet isn't that wonderful.

We are now in keeping the house emaculate phase and it really sucks. we get up in the morning wipe everything down and vaccuum. then we leave. Were lucky that we have had 3 showings in 2 days so hopefully it will sell really fast and we can move.

Greg and I yesterday went looking at houses in omaha we found 2 that might work one just needs a little work on it. the other would be a complete gut and remodel. that one has the bigger yard. I am not to worried I figure that if we are suppose to have that house it will be there when this one sells.

well, we passed inspection with minor stuff to fix. nothing we weren't aware of so on monday our house will be up for sale. Finally after years of trying to get everything done. it is finally finished. so Omaha here we come in the next moth or two.
