9 hours just to take a drive?? ~
yep, you read it right ~ we left this house today (spike, me & the 3 bear cubs - brit opted to stay home & read UGH) & headed out for an outing ~ we planned to stop for lunch & then just take a drive ~ well, with our house gaining weight & getting smaller & us all busting at the seams, we went out looking at more homes today ~ here's the once we found that we love love & it's called the somerset (floorplans as well) ~
~ it has all the bedrooms upstairs ie: master, brit/bedroom #2, kiara/karleigh together/bedroom #3 & ruby/bedroom #4 ~ it has a HUGE office for spike, den for barbara & our music equipment, kitchen & family room ~ we loved it & spike also loved the idea of having a 3 car garage ~ we're going tomorrow to check out a couple more in different communities, then we'll check on getting preapproved, selling our house & then moving (gosh, sounds like loads of fun & lots of work!) ~ we left the house about 1:30 & didn't get back home until about 10, but the girls were very good ~ tomorrow, we've got church & then we're house hunting/looking again ~ anyone else out there take drives that last 9 hours like we do?? ~ after we got home i asked brit what she did all day & she said, "well, i think all i did was read" ~ 9 hours of nonstop reading??? ~ how can a person do that & stay mentally alright in the head? ~ i can't hardly (alright, i can't!) read a book from cover to cover in 1 setting (alright, if the truth be known, i started a book - a very good book - back in june of last year & am only half done with it & boy, does that drive brit nuts!) ~ on the trip today we discussed everything from A to Z including kiara asking if we should or shouldn't say, "oh my gosh!", kiara asked when she was going to turn white, karleigh asked if chuck e. cheese was opened each time she spotted one (we'd no idea how many chuck e. cheese's there are around here!) ~ kiara & karleigh were at one point shouting very loudly for daddy to, "GO FASTER LIKE MANDY DOES!" (mandy's our niece that watched kiara & karleigh last week when we went with ralph & sharel to chicago), guess they loved your driving mandy! *smile* ~ we also heard every chorus of 'we are family', 'i can only imagine', 'you are my sunshine' & lots of other things that neither spike, nor myself could understand ~ they received play microphones (thanks McDonalds!) with their happy meals today, so they were even more moved to be an american idol today given they now had their props ~ none of the 3 fell asleep, but were extremely tired by the end of the trip (as were we) ~ all in all we had a wonderful day, nice weather & loads of laughs ~ thanks for the great day, guys! ~ hugs...
