time to update

Steph made it here just fine.. (I left you hanging with that one didn't I) She arrived last Friday and spent Saturday and Sunday sleeping and then the next week getting settled. She spent part of two days at the DMV office and put in job applications throughout the week. She's trying to get into school too but we don't know yet if that will work out.
The painting is just about done. Only one more room left and he's working on it today. Hopefully by tomorrow evening all the inside painting is going to be finished. It looks really good.. Amazing what a coat of paint will do. I guess we're settle into the house.. As settled as we get.. At least now with Steph here she'll "house sit" during the times we're not here.
Danny started his teaching job last week.. his first offical full time teaching job. yeah.. He's sub taught for years and then teacher assisted for a few more and now he only has one job.. (he usually has one or two part time jobs.)
I'm staying busy going to the gym and running errands for Reid.. He's hanging around the house while it's getting painted.
We're taking a trip into Vegas on Wed. Steph needs to get some things done at the base and the VA office so it's a road trip of sorts.. Wonder where we'll do lunch...there's so many choices.

I just have to disagree

Upon reading Reid's blog I have my own opinion of the paint colors.. I don't see any purple in them. I love purple so it wouldn't bother me to be purply but it's more of a slate blue if you ask me my opinion..
We are moving right along with the painting (I should say Lonnie is moving right along) We've got the two small bedrooms done and the back bath and laundry room.
Steph is on her way. She was in Olka City for overnight and she'd like to get to Flagstaff by tonight but she's in the middle of a three state rain pattern right now so I don't know if she'll get that far tonight.
Lady has decided to quit barking at strange people walking in and out of the house. If it's not Lonnie then it's the furniture delivery guys or the flooring guy.. She just gave up and now sleeps through their visits. She never saw this many strange men in the RV. LOL Nancy.

Lady's birthday

Lady turned 7 yesterday and I kept meaning to blog but the day got away from me. I was really tired cause for the past three nights I hadn't slept much (not counting last night) The new bed we bought was just awful. How can a new bed be so unconfortable, but it was. Yesterday we headed back to the furniture store to get another mattress. They really wanted me to keep it for a couple of weeks but there was no way I could sleep (or not sleep) for two weeks. Last night was better and I believe this one going to be just fine.
We have started painting.. We'll our neighbor that's a painter has started working on it.. We've got the laundry room painted and will have the back bathroom done next. I wanted a little color so we're going yellow in the laundry room, two baths and the kitchen.. I want bight,, sunny colors in those rooms. The floor guys is suppose to come on Monday to floor the laundry room.. We've got the stuff ready and the w/d is sitting in the dining room waiting for him. He'd better show.
It's sunny today with a slight breeze. Should be another nice day in Pahrump.

The house is ready for us

Well this will be our first night in the new house. OH we've been at the house but staying in the RV.. We still need the fridge and it will be delivered tomorrow. We drove into Vegas today for the linens and curtains and spent the afternoon getting that stuff ready then we decided to just go ahead and "move in" the house.. it's all ready except for the fridge.. Except for clothes and books we really didn't move much over, we want the rig road ready for when we decide it's time for a road trip.. Lady did get giddy when she saw me bring over her stuff...puppy chow, treats, oinkies (sweet potato centered treats) and her bacon..(ya'll see a theme there..all foods.) she's enjoyed playing and running around the big yard. But she usually has one eye on Reid or me.

Happy Birthday Steph

I don't know how Steph feels today but it doesn't seem like she should be 26. where did the time go.. that's my baby and she 26. Just aint right is it.
