Aside from editing photos, I’ve been painting murals, making nursery items, making preparation for Johanna, and unfortunately attended Jolene’s aunts’ funeral. I’ve strayed away from mentioning Carol (Jolene’s aunt). It’s just sad to think about. I’m just glad I got to know her this past year, especially taking her to the doctor and helping her with dialysis.
With all this craziness we finally got an accepted offer on a home. We’ve been looking for a home for the past four months. We’ve visited over 50 homes, and placed an offer on eight of them. We were outbid, we’ve overbid on some, we’ve underbid, we’ve even blind bid, and shortsales just fell through until now. So in a month hopefully our new address will be 1081 Landmark Cir Lincoln, CA 95648.
We’ve looked in many cities. Some far away, some close to UC Davis for Jolene. This one is in between. We looked at old homes, and new homes. This one we chose because it is new. Right now we don’t have the luxury of fixing it up because Johanna is coming our way. This way we can move in and enjoy it and spend more time with Johanna. Some day we might find a home to fix up.
I am posting some photos of various things that we’ve done in the past few weeks. We put together a lamp for our Alice in Wonderland theme. It consists of tea pot, cup, and our version of the hatter’s top hat. Also the mural I am doing is far from done, but it is a Alice and Wonderland photo that I am copying, but making my own. Many more hours to spend on that one. Eight more weeks to get everything done. Anyway, we will be gone for a week in Hawaii. Jolene and I are returning to Hawaii for a last second vacation. We felt we wanted to go on one more trip before our lives are filled with a bundle of joy.
