I think I'm going to throw up.

Yesterday started with our Good Friday family tea party. This is not a family tradition just a random thing the kids organized so Tim and I went with it. The kids set the table and prepared the tea (Easter grass) and biscuits and scones (little rubber ninjas and day old colored eggs). I was most impressed with their good manners and creative cuisine.

It wasn’t the rubber ninjas that made me feel ill. It happened later that afternoon when we put a contract on a house. It was then the nausea set in. Amber our very dear college freshman friend asked us a little while back if we would be willing to buy her and seven other girls a house. She had found the perfect place for her and her friends to live. It is an eight bedroom house that sits just behind campus. It will give them plenty of room and it is walking distance or a short bike ride away from the school. For Tim and I we think it is an easy way to get into what we have always been interested in, investment property. It isn’t everyday when you have eight very responsible renters come up to you with a house already in mind and willing to pay for it. The paying for it is key. We had to get really creative with the financing part of it, that’s the part that is making me nauseous. I keep telling myself, it’s just money, really it’s just credit. I just hope we still have some when this is done.

friends forever....


The kids had a surprise visit from one of their best friends yesterday.
They have known each other since birth, well Jordyn was 3 months old when Luke was born.
She actually came to visit Luke in the hospital when he was just 1 day old. They don't live right around the corner anymore ( this past summer they moved 3 hours away) but this is not a bond that can be easily broken. If you ask Luke who he wants to marry when he gets older his answer is always Jordyn. I hope he has a big growth spirt ;)
