SAME STUFF... DIFFERENT DAY

Pool picture #756.  Seriously.  This is what we do right now.  Well- that and drive around frantically looking for a house to live in.  We finally found one!!!  We decided to rent- only because we found a great house, in a great neighborhood that we felt great about.  Great.  We're big fans of letting the decision make the decision.  Done.  Dale was about to call the bank when we got an email about the house.  It's not my dream house... and it doesn't have my pretty black cabinets... but it's cute, and clean, and has walk in closets.  Nice.  I need big closets so that I can hide away all our crap, and pretend our house is always clean.  Just don't open the closets please.
This has been Crew's "Texas uniform" since we got here.  Yellow life jacket, blue swim shorts.  Luckily he LOVES this life jacket that my good friend Suzanne gave him before we left Cleveland.  (HI MADDY! :))  Otherwise I would be chasing him around the pool like a crazy person.
Apparently "I have my hands full".  At least that's what EVERYBODY says when I show up at the pool with the 4 in tow.  Is 4 kids a lot?  I really didn't think it was.  I guess it is if you're not Mormon... or Catholic- or so I've been told.  The creepy pot bellied shirtless man that flirts with me relentlessly (guess the kids don't scare him off.  Dang) was sure I was Catholic.  Nope.  And I only have 1 husband.  Thank goodness.  
We are pool people.  All of us.  Even this one.  HE LOVES IT.  I've decided that he has "GUSSY SYNDROME".  Cuzie Gussy loves to give mommy Chelsea blank stares for pictures.  He grew out of it... hopefully Tyke will too.  (p.s.  Chelsea- I need new pics.  Dimple ones please)  So anyway- Life is about to get nuts.  I have been given a copy of Dale's schedule.  SCARY.  It all starts on July 1st.  Wish me luck.  I think maybe I should have married a nice banker.  My bad.  I did find a little corner of my house where I sometimes have the Internet.  It's a little temperamental.

Yeah! I'm glad you guys found a place to rent. To be honest, I kind of think it's best. I am SO tempted to rent after moving just because of the whole loan repayment thing. I want to at least get a system going with hacking at the debt and get our credit scores looking REALLY good before we secure a mortgage on it all. I don't know... we'll probably end up buying (it's hard to rent when you've already owned; you know that). We'll see how it plays out. For now, you can adjust to life in residency status and if you find a house you love and can buy... GO FOR IT!

Tyke is super cute! Lucky that you get to be outside swimming everyday. We get to stare out our windows at the rain that come pouring down EVERY day!!!
How far are you from Houston?? We are going there soon, for some pharmacy convention.
