Congrats All Around!

Marriage News: Alicia and Scott tied the knot this week, Wednesday, the 2nd, in Yuma. We are so happy for them!

Baby News: Megan and Aaron welcomed their baby boy, River Riley Francis, early Wednesday morning, April 2, at about 1:00. Everyone is doing fine, and they were going home yesterday. We can't wait to meet him!

We had a busy day again yesterday. Chris and I both took the day off from work, so we could get things done. We went to the doctor where they did the non-stress test on the babies. They monitor their heartrates and movement, and any contractions. I had no contractions, and they babies did just fine!

Then, we had a nice lunch at Johnny Rockets in Westgate. It is so pretty there--it's the new shopping/living/sports complex where the Arizona Cardinals and the Phoenix Cardinals play. It's right across the freeway from where our new condo is. So, afer lunch, we decided to go to the sales office at the new condo and talk to them about when we would be able to close and find out the status of the community. We are at the point where we could cancel and get our money back, if we wanted to. But, it's such a great area that we were thinking we'd just hold on to it, knowing it would be a great investment over time. When we tried to get through the gate into the sales office, it was closed! So, I called the number I had and was told that they had decided not to sell the condos, but turn them into apartments! So, later in the day I spoke with the developer, and he said he'd e-mail me a cancellation notice to sign, and he'd send us our money back by next week! It's actually kind of a relief to have it over, and to be getting that money when we can really use it.

More good news is that we rented the Litchfield Park condo for April! Lise and Thomas sent this gentleman our way, and we really appreciate it! He's arriving this evening (Friday). So, yesterday we had a ton of stuff to do to get the condo ready--we picked up a dresser and 2 nightstands and had the bed and headboard delivered. We found and bought a kitchen table and chairs and a patio set, and Chris put those together. Meanwhile, I finished up stocking all the dishes, etc, in the kitchen, and made the beds in both bedrooms. We both did a lot more, too, because we were working for about 7 hours, but I can't remember all the details. Basically, just moving stuff into place and doing a little cleaning, fixing the locks, etc. We were exhausted when we finally got home at about 8:00 last night. I still have a few things to buy, and then we'll meet him over there this evening at about 7:00.

That's all for now!
