Wow

So things have been pretty crazy since March. I really have been too busy to even consider posting. Today I don't feel much like working, so I am taking the time to give an update.

I still don't have a kitchen. In fact my kitchen is the very same state it has been for several months. However, I have decided on floor tile and backsplash tile, cabinets, sink and a range hood. I am still trying to find a faucet I like. Maybe one day something will actually be installed!

We did have a recent event that would give us some push to finish the kitchen. We checked out a super cheap 1 bedroom condo in Madison in our ideal location. It is so cheap that we could afford the montly payment before selling our current house. One problem though, the house is in no way ready to go on the market and wouldn't be without a significant amount of work. I am not comfortable with purchasing the condo when the house is not ready. I think this caused a light to go on in Duane's brain and (fingers crossed) he will be more amenable to working on the house.

We are going on a trip this month to: Prague, Salzburg, Switzerland, Nice and Amsterdam (3 weeks away!). We are going to increase our search for a new dog when we get back. Brisco's moods have been up and down a lot lately. He recently had a visit from one of his doggie friends and he was so happy to see her!
