I can't believe the storms in Alabama and that region last night. This has been some crazy weather this year. Hubs did talk to his mom last night and she was OK. She lives in the tri-state area (southern Georgia) where Ga, Al, Fl all meet. Prayers for anyone else affected.
It's been a whirlwind around here for the last week. Finished up tax season, got the bills paid and credit cards reconciled which took me 10 times longers since my boss has been busy doing taxes and not keeping up with her charges and her son's wedding was last weekend so there were a ton of extra's to figure out. Hubs and I took Fri and Mon off to go to Austin to visit my cousin, then San Antonio for the wedding then back to Austin to picks up Devin and have an Easter dinner. It was our first night for both of us to be away from Devin and we really enjoyed ourselves and the little break.
On Monday we finally closed on our home improvement loan. I tell you what, your credit is sacred, because if it weren't for our great credit, I am not sure we would have closed without having to come up with more money on our own since the real estate industry is hurting so much and we even live in an area that is holding value pretty well. Our appraisal didn't come in as high as they would have liked but they did take some of our addition into consideration which made it all work out without any extra hoops for us to jump through. The permit applicaiton is happening today and once approved, work will start either tomorrow or Monday. We are well on our way! I am just hoping for it all to be finished before baby boy arrives!
I hope everyone has a great day and stays dry and most importantly safe!!!!
