One Happy Homeowner

Whew! What a weekend. I am ready to go back to work tomorrow to get a break. :) Well, Friday night we signed the paperwork for the refinance on the house. It was very exciting for Laura. We then went out to dinner to celebrate. We were home and in bed by 10pm since we were so tired from the week.
Here is a picture of Laura right after we finished signing the paperwork. She wouldn't let me take a picture of her actually signing the paperwork. On Saturday morning she woke up and said she had a horrible dream that she had lost her job. I think she was a little anxious actually having signed the paperwork and it being official that she owned a home now. Saturday afternoon her nephew and his family came up as well as Laura's sister. We all went to Joe's Crab Shack for lunch. It had been years since I had crab and I forgot how much I love it. Plus the coconut shrimp. We then came home and watched the movie "Crash". It was probably one of the best movies either one of us had seen. We now see why it beat out Brokeback Mountain.
Just a picture of Sophie. Poor Sophie had a near death experience this morning. She was sitting in the dining room by one of the chairs and Brady (below) was in the chair and took off running from the chair which sent the chair flying. It landed inches away from Sophie. Well, she jumped up and looked at us like, "You know I almost died". She is so much like a little kid. I am pretty sure she was playing on my reaction as well.

A couple other things: Has anyone seen the new video by DMC and Sarah McLaughin? It's called "Just like Me" and it's a song based around the song "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin. I saw the video earlier this week and it just made me bawl. He has created a song with the chorus from the Harry Chapin song based on his adoption as a small child. Then this morning VH1 had a special about DMC going and finding his birthmom. Talk about emotional. Makes me think about my birthmom.

I have a new favorite group..for the moment. The All-American Rejects. I loved their song "Dirty Little Sercret" and really loved the video with postcards from Postsecret. Then I heard their new song "Move Along". Well, worth the $15 for the CD.

That's it for now. Oh, wait, one more thing: 26 days til Florida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the house. It must be such a relief to have her on there now.

zoe--it really is a relief to have her on the house...we were saying it kind of feels like we got married...all of the paperwork and having us both sign everything...for now this will be the closest we can get to actually being legally married.
