Sort of! I know it has been quite some time since my last post on the grant process. This past Monday, July 25th we were suppose to start. So close that the guys showed up to the house to begin, but had to leave because of the road construction on my street. I thought we were in the clearing since they were past my house, but apparently not. I was devastated! It was a great thing I had a dentist appointment to go to shortly after I watched them leave my house! I cried a bit, was frustrated a lot. When things like this happen, I take it so personally. It has been the story of my life, as soon as I express my excitement out loud, it falls through. I thought my self at a young age to "not get excited" BUT I stink at hiding my excitement!!! After being unable to get a hold of the owner of the company (he had a funeral to attend on Monday), I got a hold of him on Thursday. Between my phone conversations with Jim and the city of Waukesha. After some detective work, we are back on the calendar to start the project for this coming Monday, August 1, 2011

All Quiet on the Grant Front

Birthday
Today was/is my birthday. Awhile ago I had arranged with a friend that she were to take the kids early in the morning and over night so I could enjoy a day to myself. My plan was to scrapbook all day long by myself, followed by dinner and a movie with Ryan. Ryan was given the day off of work, surprise! When the kids woke up, Ryan took them to the store to buy doughnuts, (something new we have started this year; serving doughnuts for breakfast with a candle in it symbolizing the cake) and flowers. When they got home they gave me my flowers and we had breakfast. Then all of us went to Ms. Heidi's house and we came home. I began getting my "sanctuary" ready! After 2.5 hours of scrapbooking, we went out to Applebee's and a movie (Zookeeper). After which we came back home and I scrapbooked some more. I am so excited, I have almost completed Dash's 1st year album!!!
