Overdue Update

Well! It's been a bit since I've posted, and I just now realized it today! I do apologize to my three readers, ha!!

Life has been moving along as expected...working in Abilene during the week, and spending our weekends in Fred. I will back track just a bit, to tell you about our fun weekend with Aspen and Geordon.

They came down to Fred at the end of March to spend the weekend with us...two Christmases ago, we gifted them with a weekend in Fred, but they were only just now able to cash in on it because Aspen's old work schedule had her working on the weekends. Now that she is in Arlington and working a job with normal hours, they are getting to do fun stuff on the weekends! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them...we gave them the full Fred experience and hit our favorite places. Lots of yummy food and drinks and even a very nice dinner at August E's. It was great to spend some time with them, just hanging out. They are so funny together, truly a perfect match. We love getting to see her happy.

Back to current...we've started doing demo on the other side of the house, which is the area that we will rent out on Air B&B! So exciting! It was the garage, and the previous owners had closed it in and made it into three separate areas...the laundry room, an office, and a small garage/storage room. Our plan is to keep a small area for our laundry room, and then make the rest into one big room and a bathroom for renting. We are going to try to do most of it ourselves, except for the bathroom and the replacement of the garage door with French doors (or something similar). Chris has gotten quite a bit of the demo done! I helped as much as I could, in terms of taking drywall/wood to the trash pile, etc. We are excited to get this project done and decorated and rented!

Great news is that we are about to have a ten day stay-cation in our Fred house! We will work four days this week and then we are off for Good Friday...and then our vacation begins! We are looking forward to the down time, and also to getting a lot accomplished on the demo/remodel. We will be in Fred for my birthday, which will be nice...and on Easter Sunday, we have tickets to an elephant reserve here in town! We'll get to help bathe the elephants and give them pedicures, and learn all about them in an intimate setting. Super excited about that!

So, that's where things are with us! I'll try to be more consistent with my Sunday updates!
