As most of you know Jeff is in Idaho and I am in Oregon...well jeff was set to be here this week during his 4 days off but needless to say that did not happen for a variety of reasons. Remember how I said there was a project for jeff at the duplex, well it ended up being a series of awful projects that he has had to take care of singlehandedly this week, all of which are costing us lots of money. So to make a long story short we have a leak in our water line that goes from the street to the house, sounds like an easy problem find the leak fix it, not so much. Turns out the leak we can't find exactly where it is and its saturated the whole side of the yard. So Jeff is putting some ind of clamp on a leak that he was able to find and see what happens, maybe that will be it, or maybe its a much bigger one somewhere else who knows, anyhow if its a bigger leak we have to hire an excavator to come and dig up the yard since that will be the only way to fix it. Sounds expensive right...yeah gross huh? To add to this fun stuff our tenate called to tell us his hot water heater was out the next day, yup you guessed it it had to be replaced. I don't even want to talk about how much that cost us. So needless to say we didn't get to have Jeff come to oregon and spend his weekend with us, we now have to wait to see if we can figure out something for next week.
On a lighter happier note we got the keys to the house today, we will not be moving in for a week or so but we have the keys, jeff did a walk though and said it was great and that I would love it, I cant wait to see it and get settled for awhile, we need some peace and normalcy to our lives right now.
Finally I have to explain this picture, my mom asked my dad to pressure wash the front porch so he did only he left a message in the stairs, I just love to see him do the funny little things that show my mom he loves her, its neat to see as they have been married for over 30 years. I had to snap this picture before he goes back to erase the message and finish pressure washing the steps.

Ugh I am so sorry about all that. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be. Pooh.
That is so cute what Dad did! Remember when he did stuff on the roof and they wrote about it in the newspaper? Haha. I love seeing them do things for each other too. Thanks for taking a picture of that - it's the little kinds of things like that, that we'll want to remember someday.
I love that you are posting so much on your blog! Yay! :)
