Costa Rica

Costa Rica was very interesting. The first day we flew into san jose to close on the new house. Just so you know there are no street signs in Costa Rica so it was crazy trying to find our way. We finally found the lawyers office and signed all the papers. The people that Jerry bought the house from are so nice. They gave a some places to see and things to do around Dominical. That night we stayed in San jose. We sat out on the porch fand drank as we watched 20 almost accidents happen between dogs and people, and people with people. haha. That next morning we got really early and headed down to Dominical. It took us about 5 hours to drive there. Yeah 5 HOURS on dirt/ rock roads. While the drive was crazy the views were amazing. Costa Rica is such a beautiful country. My spanish speaking skills wre very useful. But I still don't know how to say Peanut butter in spanish haha. Oh yeah no one told me that Costa Rica has Earthquakes, not a great way to wake up in the middle of the night. The house is really nice but the ocean view was amazing. I think that we are going to spend Christmas down there. (thats there dry season).






While costa rica was fun, I was so ready to get back home and start to clean up the bomb that went off in my house. Everything is in the right room but not the right spot. I guess that it just takes time to unpack a house.

Moving day

Well yesterday we went to Uhal and rented a 26 foot truck for moving day. Jeremy and I were sure that this would be more than enough room for all of our stuff. HA This morning, Jeremy and having to use one of the company's trucks, his truck, and his dad's truck to move the rest of the stuff. It's 615 in the morning and every part of me hurts!!! But it will all be worth tonight when we get to sleep in our new house. We were supposed to close on the old house at 830 this morning but the buyers paperwork is running slow so now we can't close until 1 on this house and a little later on the new house. I just hope that we have enough time to move all of the stuff out of the truck before it gets dark tonight.

Yesterday Jerry (Jeremy's dad) come over to help us move. We are so grateful that he came over. I really don't see how me and Jeremy alone could have done it. At 230 yesterday, we had our walk through on the new house. The construction supervisor took us though the entire house and showed us how to work the AC, the stove, the oven, change the filter, and so on. It just made me want to be in the new house even more.

As for Maddie, she is our boxer Pitt mixed dog, she is going to be an OUTSIDE dog from now on. Right now she sleeps in our room on the floor, but at about 4 in the morning she jumps on the bed. I really do think that she does this because she knows that we are too tired to get her off. It funny though, because during the day she will get on the bed and when we tell her to get off she makes her body really limp so it is impossible to lift her off and moans like we are disrupting a queen during her nap. I love my dog but i also love my new white carpet.

Moving

Right now we are about to move into our new house in Rosenberg TX!!!. We have about 75% of the house packed up. The next few days are going to be very stressful. Starting today. Today I am going to Lubbock for an orientation for my BSN. I won't come home until Friday. Then on Saturday and Sunday I have to go to work. Monday the moving truck comes and we have to finish packing up all the big stuff in the house. Then on Tuesday at 830 Jeremy and I are going to close on this house, come back to the house to finish packing, drive to the north side of houston, and close on the new at 1:00. We have only one day to finish moving all of our stuff in because on Thrusday we are going to Costa Rica with Jerry (Jeremy's dad) and Barbara (Jeremy's grandmother) to close on there house. Wow just looking at all the things that are going to happen in the next 2 weeks make me so stressed out. But it is a good kind of stress. Lots of exciting things are going to be happening to us.
