We also had our eyes on a couple other smaller houses that we thought would make great rental properties once we upgrade in a few years, but someone beat us to them. We are now just hanging out where we are and keeping an eye out to see if anything comes available that we just can't live without, otherwise we will wait until our lease is up in June and buy something then.
With all of that settled we are now moving on to personal improvements. I am getting braces and Lindsay will be getting laser eye corrective surgery or whatever they call it these days. I have already started on consultations for braces because I think I have to be done with them before I can go to pilot training. The ortho said it should take right about two years depending on how well I obey his instructions. Since I am getting them so late in life I will need to have oral surgery. My bottom jaw is significantly larger than my top so then my top jaw needs to be cut and then expanded so that it fits with my bottom jaw. I am meeting with the surgeon next Monday. I am not excited about the $7k-$10k it will all costs, but am glad to finally be getting it done.
I am still going through the semester kicking and screaming. My motivation drops with each and every assignment. So far I have yet to slack off, but the temptation is continually growing.
Lindsay came down with some sickness yesterday so was home all day relaxing. I think it helped quite a bit. We will see how bushy her tail is in the morning though. The base is having an exercise Thursday through Sunday so we will be up there doing....stuff. Heck that's two more days I don't have to be at Wal-Mart, but I also have to miss some class for it.
I think Porsche needs a new starter. That's no good. She picked a good week to crap out on me though. It is in the 70's all week so the riding has been great. She just got 4 brand new tires and the truck needs two new ones asap. I've got two new tires in the garage for the Buell as well. I guess you can't have too much good rubber laying around though.
This has been kind of a stressful week with projects due, sickness, car trouble and base exercises, but it is almost over so that is a great relief. I am actually ready for Monday already, that just doesn't sound right.
Oh yeah we just had Halloween. We went to my friends house in Moore who had a party. Lindsay wore her mom's flapper costume she made 20 years ago (very impressive and it looks great) and I dressed up as the Greek god Jasonious. Lindsay can tell you where that idea came from sometime later. We had fun and made it home safely so it was a good night. Lindsay posted the rest of the pics on her facebook.
Okay well I have rambled enough for tonight. I went to bed at 8:40 and realized that is way to early so I got up and this is what I found to do. My eyes feel pretty heavy now though so hopefully I can lay down and zonk out. Goodnight.
