House hunting


Of course when we were in TX for Grandpas funeral we decided to take a road trip down to San Antonio. We met up with our Agent and looked at some houses, and of course we found one that we absolutly love. We put a bid up and hoped for the best. We found out it is a short sale home (pre forclosure) So its tied up in the baloney that goes on at banks as of late. they denied our first offer so we resubmitted....and then.....we wait. i hate the waiting game. drives me nuts. we are hoping to hear this next week, if they turn us down again (which we hope they dont) we will go back in a week and start all over. We love this house and allready consider it ours, which i know is totally rediculous...but its everything we need and want in a house and a fantastic area. it is brand new, never been lived in on a 1/4 acre in a new subdivision. keep your fingers crossed!

Blanco TX

I am so grateful that i was able to go to Texas for Grandpas funeral. Not that funerals are a good time, but in a way it was. i think we were all just relieved that grandpa was finally at peace and with his sweetheart and son that have been waiting for so long. And of course its always a hoot when you get my dad and his brothers together and Devin and Shawn (cousins) have definitly carried on the Crazy McClellan Boys tradition of well.....hhhmmmm....that would take a whole nother post! It was SO great to see everyone. Keri and Maren.....

Happy Birthday Dr Suess
















Sariah is in Drama at her School (imagine that) since this is the month of Dr Suess' birthday they do a play in honor of his work. Sariah was the girl who found the trufula seed in the Lorax. It was a very cute play and the kids all did a great job. they performed for the elementary schools on several days and then had their final performance for the families and community last night. I helped her do her makeup and hair to be Dr Suess-ish and we were off! When she got to the school she found her Tutu that anut Keri made her was missing, some meaner decided they needed it more apparently. She was VERY sad but did a great job improvising her costume..although not to happy about it. She is growing up way to fast!!
