Happy Birthday Casey!!

Today my 'little' brother turns 30! We get along very well now, I stress now. We used to fight all the time, Casey and I remind me a lot of Rachel and Adam. They fight with each other, but don't want to be apart either. :) Happy Birthday Casey!!

8 Facts or Quirks

Here ya go Kara, you probably know many of these already, but maybe you will learn something new about me. :)

1. My eating habits are pretty well known, but is probably my biggest quirky thing. I don't eat meat, veggies, and too many others to list. I mainly live on dairy and bread, oh and chocolate. :)

2. Food on my plate CANNOT touch each other.

3. I have a big birthmark on my lower back. I am pretty self conscious of it, especially in the summer.

4. I used to sort my bath towels by color. My husband would say I'm a bit of a pack rat, but I do need organization as well.

5. The first time I kissed a boy was on my 16th birthday.

6. When I was 5, I got off at the wrong bus stop to go to the baby-sitters, I knew where I was, so I started walking home. I made it about 5 miles, then a lady picked me up and dropped me off at home. My dad was there sleeping(worked 3rd shift). He said I must have been exhausted, so he got me something to eat and went back to bed. He neglected to notify my mom, so she called the police, and they actually came to our house. She doesn't let him forget it.

7. I make lists for everything! I have a palm pilot, but I still need to have my little sticky notes of lists.

8. I over pack for everything, long or short trips, doesn't matter. I probably pack double of what I actually need. I come home with clean clothes, but I like to have options. I'm always afraid I might forget something, even though I have a list.

Graduation

Here are a few pictures from graduation

Me and my hubby.
Me with Aunt Val, it was a little windy.
Me and the parents, aka Maude & George.

I don't have a picture with Dean's dad, but he was there too. The men made it through the lengthy ceremony, but were ready to go when it was over. Not a lot of time for pictures.

For Sale

Our house is officially on the market. We just had the outside painted and it makes a HUGE difference on curb appeal. It almost makes me want to stay now, ALMOST......Painting on the outside and garage will be finished once it stops raining. We are still doing some minor improvements inside too. Dean and our realtor are pushing to have an open house this Sunday! I have a lot of work to do before we start letting strangers in the house. Our realtor, Ed has gone above and beyond his duties of selling our house. He has been helping Dean hang drywall in the basement. We really appreciate all of his help. Here are the before(top) and after(bottom) pictures of the house.
