In other news, it's officially fall. The 45 degree temperatures outside (and 59 degree temps inside!) gave it away. It really was less than 60 in our house this morning... We have non-windows, basically, and air just seeps right in. We're going tonight when Jordan gets off of work to compare prices at Menards, Lowes, and Home Depot, as all three have windows on sale right now. A friend of the family will be helping us install them- praise the Lord! We had two companies come and give estimates... the first was $18,000!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me!? Who has that kind of money? And really, who wants gold lined windows anyway? (Just joking.. but they were lined with the same stuff that's on astronauts helmets.) Our 35 year old house that is just years away from being bulldozed is not deserving of that kind of investment. So store brand, it is!
Corban and I had a coffee date this morning. We went to my favorite little local place, Mama Bears, and I drank a chai latte half-spiced/half-vanilla straight from heaven while Corban ate his cheerios and craisins. He then wandered throughout the establishment hugging all the his-sized bears (which there were 3 of). Before we left, he started saying 'bear', which is a new word for him. Afterwards, we went to Bible study at church and he played with the kiddos and ran around the gym and completely wore himself out. He skipped lunch and went straight to naptime. So, I'm relaxing while I finish my lunch and then a laundry-folding I go.
I'm new to this site and am still trying to figure out how it all works... If you read this, leave me a comment and let me know. I don't think you have to sign up for an account or anything- you can just use a name. Anyway- adios!
