Still Looking for $

 I met with the loan officer yesterday.
He has been out of the bank in meetings
and conferences all week, so glanced at
our proposal but hadn't had the opportunity to
really LOOK at it.
So we discussed some of the finer points.

He didn't seem enthusiastic.
Well, enthusiastic, but not optomistic.
They are simply too small.
They've never done anything like this and want
some ridiculous things up front.

He's going to really review it and then talk to
an associate on the loan board and get back
with me, probably Monday.
But in the meantime, we are pursuing other options.

So.
All is not lost.
But we don't have a YES quite yet.
Still going forward though.
Of course.

In the meantime...


Kyle got all done!
Doesn't that look great?
We need to get him a shower curtain and rod.
But he can't use it for 4 days anyway.

Yesterday morning we got up at the crack of dawn.
4:00 to be exact.
Bear peed in his crate and was crying.
So Rod got up and gave him a bath.
Then I got up at 5 and took a shower, grabbed all
the stuff (already organized and ready to go)
and we headed into town.
Got there 15 minutes early, but the RS Pres showed
up about 5 minutes later to open the building.

We had french toast sticks, syrup, and a 
charcuterie board with grapes, strawberries and blueberries.
(Thanks for all the inspiration Nanc!)
(Mine wasn't as pretty, but hey... lol.)

They loved it!
We sat around their big round table and chatted.
Got some good insight into their lives.
Talked about what they are planning going forward.
(One is graduating, two are moving with their family to
Hawaii for a military assignment for 3 years right after
YW camp in June, another is hoping to get his 
mission call in the next 2 weeks. And one [still a secret]
just got called as the new YW Class President.)

They are really good kids.
They are all on their high school swim team.
And also are either in choir or band or both.

Anyhow. It was a fun hour.
Then we headed to......... Home Depot.
Hahahaha.
Rod needed a tool so he can work on the bathroom floor.
But then we came home and he mowed the yards and
discovered the lawnmower won't go into reverse,
so he spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning out the
garage so we can park it inside from now on,
and then working on the mechanics of it.
Still needs to finish fixing it today.

We took the puppies for a walk when Kyle got home.
And I made a meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner.


The dogs are "besties" now.
Kyle is considering taking Beau with him when he moves.
We'll see. 
I'm ok with either decision.
He won't be home much, so Bear will be unhappy.
If he blocks off the stairs, they could be loose in his house
together, keep each other company, and have a buddy
to play with.
(Luna, the rottweiler, has to stay outside...)

Anyhow.
We ordered him a new grey couch for his living room.
So I think all he has left is to go to the storage and get
his stuff for his kitchen, toaster oven, silverware, etc...
and then we will move his furniture next week!

Weeeeeeeeee!
(Sob.)
I'm excited for him..
Really.
But I'm not.
hahahahahahahahaha
