What's really sad is that he THOUGHT this was going to be a good day. Last night he was promised a trip to the dog park for this morning (cue intense whining, jumping and running around like a mad dog). However, instead of just going to the dog park he first had to endure a trip to the gas station (oh the HORROR!) and worse, a trip to PetSmart that resulted in a nail trimming instead of a toy. LOL Finally, he was on his way to the park! He got to play for an hour, had a great time and was a happy camper. And then we came home and it was into the shower for him. :-( Poor puppy. He really did think he was going to have a good day.
The last few days have been pretty busy ones for us. We are preparing to have company up next week and have already start making our Thanksgiving plans. We like to be prepared ahead of time so that we have as much time as we can to visit and enjoy the company. But the last couple of times it hasn't worked out that way for us, so now we are REALLY thinking ahead. ;-) We've also been discussing our (hopefully soon!) move back home. There is a LOT to prepare for, a lot to do and a lot of work for this, but we are looking forward to it and we know that with God's blessing everything will work out for us. I must admit though, I am a bit overwhelmed by it. Until J and I's discussion last night, I didn't realize HOW much was going to be involved in this.
One of the things we talked about is getting a storage unit back home just before we move. We'll of course be listing the house for sale (there's no way we could afford to keep it and we don't want to deal with renting it out) but when we list, we also have to clean out a LOT. So rather than putting everything in storage here and having to do two stops to load up on moving day, we'll just rent a UHaul and bring down what we can ahead of time.
When we move home we know we'll be renting. As much as it sucks to have to rent, we do NOT want to live in the area forever and we know that home prices are going to (unfortunately) decline in that city. So rather than losing money and/or possibly being saddled with a house in what turns out to be a bad neighborhood, we'll rent until a few things happen that allow us to move a little further north. :-) And not to worry, we'll definitely keep everyone informed of our time line once we know it for sure. Right now all we know is it won't be until at least February when J graduates. :-)
