House Update

All I have to say about this morning's big news from the insurance company is, "Lord, please help me to not hate the adjuster and want to kill him." Yes, I am seriously considering first degree murder this morning. The adjuster called with the news that they would not replace the entire roof, just the section that had to be repaired. WHAT??? Are you kidding me? Now, I will have two different colors and size shingles on my roof. WHAT??? So, yes, I am seriously considering murder!

Next, after much debate and analysis, we decided to forgo the bonus room at this time. Right now we just want to get in our house and this will speed things up and cost a LOT less money. We will probably go ahead and do it in the near future, but right now money is tight (does anyone need a new car? Michael would LOVE to sell you one!) and we just want our house back. We are still doing the upgrades on the existing house, so it will still be much better when it is finished.

Lastly, I am thinking about planning a long weekend trip for us after all this is over. Does anyone have any ideas? Somewhere warm, sunny, with a beach is ideal! :-)

That stinks. Can't insurance companies be awful?

We went to Hilton Head a few years ago and had such a nice time--is that anywhere near you?

Gulf Shores, baby. Gulf Shores. The drive isn't bad, the beach and seafood are great. We went there on the babymoon and it was perfect.

I'm totally with you on the bonus room. Get in that house and RELAX.
