Hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow Sarah! Are you doing anything special to celebrate or getting any special *presents*? Are you able to get your driver's license or do you have to wait a while longer?

Good luck in school Kara! Yes, Middle School will be harder but I know you can do it!

Stephen - tough break! We always bought old houses not new ones so I feel your pain - something was always needing replacing but we liked those older established neighborhoods so it was worth it to us.

Keith headed off to Tampa and then Denver this morning. I dragged my butt out of bed at 7AM to go have breakfast with him (he'll be gone until Friday) That probably doesn't sound very early to most of you but since I was up until 5AM it was tough! I took a little nap this afternoon!
