Time for an Update

I thought it was about time I gave you all an update…it has been almost two weeks since my last post. Things have been a little crazy…

First thing – My grandfather isn’t doing very well. The doctor’s don’t expect him to live much longer. He had a stroke over the weekend and his organs have started shutting down. His kidneys quit yesterday, so they expect him to pass away any day now. Just pray that he doesn’t have to suffer for any length of time.

Second thing – Scott has to give away his dog, Trish. He has had her since she was just a few weeks old…about 5 years. We have talked about what to do with her for a long time now and this seems to be the best solution. She is very lonely because we are gone from about 7:15 in the morning until about 5:15 at night and she just stays locked up in her room all day. Then, we come home and usually go out somewhere after work and she stays home alone for the evening. We had thought about just getting another dog to keep her company, but we go out of town a lot and don’t really have anyone to keep her…let alone another dog too. The good news is we are giving her to my cousin, Jimmy so at least Scott can still see her if he wants. Jimmy will give her the attention she needs and he has another dog for her to play with.

Here are a few pictures of her:



Third thing – We leave on Friday right after work for our trip to Jamestown and Williamsburg. We are going to spend Friday night at Scott’s parents’ house and then drive the rest of the way on Saturday. The bad news is the weather looks like rain for everyday we are there. Hopefully the forecast will change. We are coming home on Wednesday. As of now, the plan is to go to Busch Gardens on Sunday, but I guess that might change if it is raining all day. Derek and Lindsay are going with us, so it should be really fun!

That is about all that we have going on now…besides trying to sell our house. Pray that we get a buyer soon!

Well, I will update again when something new happens or when we get back from our trip! Have a great day and a nice weekend!
