Like Tattoos on This Town

I know, its been far too long. You're just DYING to know what is going on in Alaska, aren't you? Well, if you must know, I was sick. The toilet, the trash can, and I became well acquainted this past week. No, no. I can see the wheels'a turnin' in that little head of yours. There is no little person on the way. The day after I said my goodbyes to the toilet and trash can, I said hello to that other uninvited friend. So double boo boo for me. Anyways, that is my reason for not having written earlier this week. Also, the past couple days we had a garage sale, so lets recap from there...

THE SALE IN THE GARAGE

My "suegra" (mother.in.law) and Hubby's cousin had planned to have a garage sale this past weekend so, of course, I tagged along with the ladies and added a few of my things. Well, mainly it was things from Davids old room. Lets just say he outgrew ALOT of what was in his room. Or, at least I did. haha. We made a whole $106. Even though it was mainly Fancy Man's stuff, whats his is mine. All in all, the sale was a success. I love garage sales. Going to them AND having them. So many hidden treasures. Its like a scavenger hunt for the creative and patient.

While the ladies bargained and made money, the hubbies also had work. "Suegro" has started an addition on his home: An attached 3car garage. Listen here people, they don't hire Mexicans to build it for them. They built it themselves. ("There ain't nothin wrong with a hard hat and a hammer") Well, today the long-awaited concrete was poured. So, the men stayed back to help. I must say, I love when the Fancy Man trades his Wing Tips for a pair of dirty, steel-toe work boots. When the concrete was almost dry, I got the call to head back to the house with Handsome so that he could leave his mark in grandpa's garage. So happy he'll be able to have that imprint to look back on. Fancy Man also did a little demo to his old truck. The truck was once Suegro's, but SOMEONE wrecked it pretty bad and so it was passed on. Let's just say someone hit some very solid "wood" and ended up on his side.

LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS

Also last week, we took Handsome to the zoo for the first time! Yay! He didn't really understand the animal part, but he loved just being outside and riding on daddy's shoulders. I am a nature freak, animal lover so I very much enjoyed seeing the poor one-eyed owl, and the beautifully, scary polar bears. 

Hubby's friends invited us to frisbee golf one afternoon and I must admit I loved the trees bleeding with sap and the mushrooms more than watching the guys throw a Frisbee. 

HANDSOMELY NEW

Handsome has tried many times to stand on his own. His Tia is always trying to get him to stand by himself. His birthday is also almost one month away! Kind of wish I had my friends close by to help me plan. I have all my ideas pinned on of course, pinterest, and I really hope we can "make it happen".

*PLEASE PLEASE*

Fancy Man gets his call back for the job by latest Tuesday and we will get an answer. Keep in your prayers. Also for a house/apt to come up once we have decided on a location.

...The Best is Yet to Come.
