Becoming an adult---

In the last two weeks we:

Bought our first "adult" bedroom set. I have never had an entire set that matched. A local furniture maker had an amazing sale - items normally $8,000 were like $2,000. It was to good to pass up. This led to buying a new area rug, curtains, window treatments, another xbox 360, and ceiling fan. The fan is awesome it has a heater built in for the winter. IT BETTER WORK!! The upstairs gets freezing... My husband is trying for a 32" plasma or atleast a flat panel -- keep twisting honey, my arm isnt hurting yet... I mean we have a 27" and it isnt a huge room. It is like having a 52" widescreen already...

Put a privacy fence around our backyard. The neighbor behind us has a nasty pitbull that seems to be getting out more and more. Also, our next door neighbor is becoming a daytime nudist.

Are remodeling our kitchen. We are moving our stove, dishwasher, and fridge to different locations. We are also replacing all cabinets and putting in a huge pantry. All of this will be necessary to help with the growth of our 3 sons. The 10 year old already wears a mens 9 1/2 shoe and has a mens 34 waist line. We go through 5 gallons of milk a week and the food bill is insane. Thus the extra pantry and cabinet space is a must... it will almost be a whole new kitchen. 

Had to replace our central air. (This one was unexpected)

Tomorrow, we are buying a car. It is a 98 Toyota Avalon LXS - fully loaded. Pretty Pretty.   So into the adult Sedan life we go... either way, it has to be better than the adult minivan life. I had to trade my f---ing Ford Explorer in on a RED FORD WINDSTAR. I had never felt so poopy in my life.

I have never felt so grown in my life. I wish I could say that we paid for all of this because we won the lotto...

Thanks Grandpa, you will be loved for all of our lives and you will live on with us forever...
