Wow what a relaxing weekend I had. Saturday I helped a friend move 30 miles away to the town of Glendale. She is renting a garage apt. on 80 acres. The owner has goats, chickens, geese, apple orchards, hiking trails and fish ponds. The leaves are starting to change and we were able to go apple picking. I haven't been apple picking since I lived in Michigan. It was so gorgeous. We ended the day at Buffalo Bistro with a draft beer and buffalo burgers.

Uncle Dan and Uncle Robert just returned from their cruise. Addy was excited to see the photo of their "ship" since all she has been talking about is the ship we will cruise on in December. The Royal Caribbean Allure!

Addy has been needing a haircut. Partly because of laziness and partly because I am avoiding a possible hair salon breakdown I decided to cut her bangs while she was taking a bath. I did it on the sly and she didn't even notice. The next day her friend Cedar's Mom Jenny asked Addy if she got her haircut. Addy said "No" of course because she didn't know that she had. Addy had watched Cedar get her haircut in the salon.

I got brave and tried to trim a bit more off the sides to shape it and she caught me. Luckily all she asked is "Mommy why did you cut my hair?" She was pleased with the response and we moved on. So the next day Jenny said "Addy did you get your haircut?" and she said "Not for real, just with the scissors." I guess since it wasn't in the salon it wasn't for real.

I have been watching the housing market closely for 5.5 years.  We have lived here five years.  LUCKILY, in my forty plus years I have learned to always listen to my  mom.  ALWAYS!  So Daron and I waited.  Thank goodness we didn't buy in the high time - paying 200,000 plus for a delapitated modular home for fear that if prices kept rising we would never be able to buy a house. We didn't even plan to buy a house until the last straw broke in our rental house and we decided we were tired of moving furniture every time the roof leaked etc. etc.  It has been a great house though and we consider it home. It is where we lived when I was pregnant, when Addy was born, when we lost Rodeo and where we spent the first five years of our married life.  We want to live in town because I like to walk everywhere and take Addy to the park, play dates and preschool via the baby jogger.  Since it is a small town I am familiar with all of the houses and have a few favorite.  Three of my favorites just happen to be for sale.  The first is a home built in 1912 on a HUGE lot in town.  Unfortunately,  foundation damage and termites have knocked it out of the running. *sniff *sniff.  The second is a stucco house that we actually have a contract on and the third is the house on the hill.  It overlooks all of Kanab and it has awesome two story windows.  All of the houses have issues since they were built in the 70's but they also have some awesome characteristics. 

1912 house. LOVE.
