But I miss the good old loud Paul I know and love...it was SO AWESOME having him around. He still hasn't completely quit smoking...it appears he has a few when he's out at a bar. That really bothers me...especially with all of the death and sickness of young people I've had to witness lately. We are NOT invincible, as much as we'd like to think we are. I don't give him any crap though...he's pretty much quit from what I saw when he was home.
They threw a big wedding reception at my aunt/uncle's house...it was crazy! First of all...it was hot as HELL. Second of all, I was entrusted the duty of making sure pretty candles floated in the pool. I thought I had it all figured out. But, at the start of the evening...the wind was just too much for the candles...they WOULD NOT stay lit no matter what. So, we made more attempts later, and just as the candles were staying lit...my supposedly ingenious method of keeping them floating and not clustered around each other was not really working out. I was becoming quickly frustrated and angry and I just gave up. Promise's fire-loving son never gave up, though. When the sun went down, he and some of the other kids got the candles going and it was pretty for a while.
Until of course...everyone ended up jumping into the pool fully clothed!
Yes, women and men in designer dresses and suits and ties jumped into the pool...turning this wedding reception into the Best. Reception. Ever. !!!
But, remember my last post when I talked about not being happy even though I no reason not to be? Even though the whole situation of everyone jumping into the pool was funny/crazy as hell...I found myself feeling very blah about the whole thing. Seriously...do I not have an ounce of dopamine in my body? Nothing ever makes me giddy! Well...except for the prospect of really good TV on my DVR. Oh...and the most recent win by the Mavs...that was really exciting. Sometimes at work my coworkers make me laugh my ass off. Patrick and Kellen do too. Ah...well. I guess I'm okay. Not everything has to blow me away.
I am kind of excited, but very nervous, about something big.... Today, Patrick and I showed my aunt/uncle the house in our neighborhood that we have been liking/looking at. It's close to where we already live, 4 bedrooms, 2 story, with a pool. BUT, it was built in '81, the pool looks like it needs repair, a LOT of things look like they need repair. But the kitchen is awesome. After showing them, they liked it, but we all came to the conclusion we should keep looking. So, we had our friend/realtor, Adrian, look up some more options for us to look at. Meanwhile, Patrick and I went to lunch. While at lunch, I did some more searching on my iPhone and found a few more houses in the Frisco area. We drove by one, stopped, and it happened to be vacant so we "stalked" it. We walked around it, peered inside, broke into the backyard area, where there was (YAY) a pool! We REALLY liked it. So, I texted Adrian and he met us there.
Long story short, Adrian said we found a GOOD DEAL. So, we are putting an offer in on it!!! It's a lot newer, nothing looks like it needs fixing. It's in move in condition. It's a one-story (what Patrick wants), 3 bedroom, master split from the other two rooms, kitchen overlooks family room and pool area. The master walk in closet even has a cute little window! AND, I have friends from work who live in the exact same neighborhood!!! It's pretty much perfect. Only thing...if it's available and our offer gets accepted...the Michigan trip we are planning for the week after my 40th bday gets postponed till probably August. I think I can deal with that...for a HOUSE!!
Nothing like a cool cerveza by your own pool, right????
