Hey All, I thought I would post what my sis is up to since most of you (or all) know her. I'm pasting an email I got from her today... they are in transition while waiting for their house in Olympia to be finished. Buffy (I know she's not a Stinch but close to it!)
Hello!
Just wanted to update you on the house. We are still about a month out (hoping for end of May) but all is well. Our apartment is smaller than what we are used to but it definitely has it's advantages. And for the moms I'm writing to, this is going to be a bit hard to believe, but I've actually survived the entire month without a T.V. in our apartment thanks to the courage of someone else I know who has done it. There were a couple reasons why, one of which was the brain drain on the boys and the other more tangible reason was that I didn't have anywhere to put the T.V. where Bradley wouldn't be able to find a way to break something (a bit too curious). At times I could really use some vegging out time, but over all I think it's a good break. Of course we will have it in the new house but on a more limited basis than before.
We are so glad to be in Olympia, finally! It only took half a year With one car it is so nice to be close to Evan's work again. The boys and I are finding that there is much to do in Olympia. We are just a few miles from the new house so I find all kinds of excuses to drive past it almost daily. As of Wed. they were painting the inside. I can't wait to see the exterior color go on because I've forgotten what color I chose! HA! I had the boys with me and it was kind of a fast eeny meeny minny mo.
I just finished taking a couple classes that are required for my daycare licensing. One of which was a CPR/first aid class which was taught by a paramedic that happens to have a stand up comedy troop on the side. He had us laughing about all sorts of things that we probably wouldn't normally be laughing at. Anyhow, if you need CPR or the heimlich I'm your girl.
That's all I have time to write. Hope all is well! Amy~
