I'm an updating slacker
hello all! I think I've talked to all of you at least once since I last updated, but I have some exciting news to share! But we'll get the boring stuff out of the way first.
I'm just babysitting this summer and its boring! I'm babysitting my dad's fiancee's kids, who are 10 and 14 and still need a babysitter. If that tells you anything about my days. They like video games, TV and computer games and HATE being outside. So, I make them go outside for at least 30 min. per day. They don't like it but it gives me a break from being inside. They're kind of whiny and definitely spoiled. But it pays OK and its tax free and its only 3 days a week. I've been spending the night at my grandparents when I'm out here and its a lot of fun. I haven't spent the night with the grandparents since I was about12, I think. If you ever spent the night at grandma and grandpa's and haven't in a while, I suggest it. Its fun. They take me out to ice cream every night after dinner even though I spend at least one night out here a week. Its like being 12 again. Kinda nice!
The fourth was really nice. Kinda sad because my aunt died last year on the fourth but fun otherwise. Cariss was in town and Steph and Nick came over. If only all of you could have been there too it would have been the best. We shot of fireworks and blew stuff up for hours and then ate waaaaaay too much food and then the boys (Nick, my brother and his friend) shot off the big stuff. I had a great time with Cariss and Steph. I always realize while talking to Steph how much I love talking to Steph. I'm going to miss her a lot when I go to Texas.
Speaking of Texas, I was there last weekend. On Saturday, Cariss, me, my dad and his fiancee looked at 17 houses in 8.5 hours. LOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG day! But I found a house and we put an offer on it and came to an agreement with the other party and I'm well on my way to purchasing my first house. The closing date isn't until Aug. 1 (don't fret, I don't have to be in TX and can still come to the float trip) and I'm planning on moving in around the 7th. I'm not techincally buying it...I don't have enough credit. My dad is putting his and my names on it, but I'm paying for it. I'm going to have to get a roommate sometime after I get there, but I figure I can float the first couple of months by myself. And boy am I excited about living alone!! I owe Cariss a thousand times for coming with me. My dad and Debbie would have driven me crazy if I hadn't had someone there! Anyway, I EXPECT lots of visitors. There'll be a spare bedroom for anyone coming down. And of course, BBQ-ing (even in December, its warm in TX!!), drinking and hanging out.
I haven't spent a weekend in Kansas City/Pleasant Hill this summer. I'm supposed to go to Kville this weekend, but I"m pretty sure I'm backing out of that. That means 2 whole days!!! And then after this weekend, I'm back to being gone on the weekends until I leave. But I'll be getting to see Jenny and Lindsay one weekend (hopefully!! I'll call) and also the float trip when I'll see you all and then I'm going away!!
I hope all of you are enjoying your summers and I hope to see you all at the float trip!! I miss all of you lots and lots! Can't wait!
