So this past weekend was really great – Friday we went to a comedy club downtown and saw Cowboy Bill Martin, who by the way is the funniest cowboy I have ever seen… my favorite one liner of his that is SO true is “What is the difference between a redneck and a cowboy” which he supposedly asked his father as a boy growing up b/c people were teasing him about being a redneck, and his father quickly replied back “acreage, which makes you a cowboy” b/c they had some land… We laughed so hard! And then he goes – “Now I know some of you are laughing, but the truth is some of y’all will be going home late tonight, and the only place left to park is next to the dumpster,” which of course sent the audience into roars… very classic! He was a great comedian that is one of those kinds that used human nature to make people laugh so we had a great time… come to think of it, I’ve never gone to a comedy club and NOT had a great time – why don’t we do this more???
Saturday was an exhausting day – woke up at the butt crack of dawn and got ready for the moving sale festivities to begin… Curt and Kendyl started putting signs out at 6:45 a.m. and by 7 a.m. there were people coming by (and interrupting my process of bringing everything outside) and buying stuff! I swear over 100 people came through for the sale, and probably about half of them came through before 8 a.m. when it officially was slated to start! But I’m not complaining, we sold a ton of stuff and made a great profit, and by 2 p.m. we were finished and packing up. In the 11th hour someone wanted to buy the couch set, so we got that sold. It sold for less than I wanted, but the lady was telling me a sob story so I negotiated with her and I am happy with what we got even though it is lower than what we wanted… so now we just have the Gazelle, Oriental Rug, and Aquarium left to find people to buy and that’s it! We’ll be taking a bunch of stuff over to Goodwill as well and Half Price Books and make all of those rounds so that will clear out some more stuff!!
After we finished with the Moving Sale fun, we got cleaned up and got ready for a movie and dinner out with some of my Life Group folks – we saw Da Vinci Code and I liked it, though of course the movie of any book will never be as good! Then we went to Mi Cocina for dinner which was SO YUMMY and one of my favorites – best salad of your life! So it was a great night out with friends and as soon as we got home (11 p.m.ish) we hit the hay b/c we were all so tired from sitting in the hot sun all day from the moving sale!
Sunday Kendyl left in the morning and Curt and I hightailed it to church, then spent the rest of the day fixing up the house and doing things to get it ready to put on the market – this is such a huge job!! Then we went to Life Group and had a great time, and watched Crash (Netflix – whoop!) when we got home – GREAT movie, by the way!!
Yesterday Curt and I worked hard… I got home at around 6:45 p.m. from work, and then we got busy mulching the front and backyard – that stuff was *radiating* heat – not kidding – so not only was it in the high 90’s, but we were kneed deep in that stuff until about 9:15 p.m. and just dripping sweat… but we got it done! So tonight we have a meeting and what not, but maybe we’ll start packing a few boxes to “de-clutter” our house… take down personal pictures of us, and make it look like neat freaks live there! J
Oh! And Curt and I are getting way excited about our mini vacation to Playa del Carmen…
Curt bought a camera housing for our digital camera which will save us a lot of money from here on out with diving… (disposable cameras are expensive and not good quality, and renting a camera from a dive shop is ridiculously expensive, not to mention getting the CD and prints of the pics you like), so the housing will probably pay for itself in its first trip if we take a lot of great pictures! Curt also invested and bought us a couple diving knifes and scissors, which will make me feel better about diving in general… always have to have a plan and be prepared!! Here is the housing we bought… we’re SO excited! We’re hoping to see a ton of sea turtles, and I have a feeling the cenotes will be so amazingly gorgeous… this will be just what we need before we start this new chapter of our lives!
I hope everyone is having a great day – speak soon.

What? You're selling the Gazelle? Weren't you and Curt just arguing about him wanting to move it out of your room and you not wanting to? Ugh...if I were going to be in Texas for a while I'd totally buy it!
Anyway, good job on the camera case - heard they're cool!
