Don't Worry...Be Happy

Summary of last two months:

*Lots of Travel for work.
*Closed on the house. (Almost didn't...see next line)
*Builder poured driveway, we drive up in jeep and slide back down.
*Highest stress ever experienced in our lives for a month.
*Convinced builder that the driveway is WAY, WAY, WAY too steep.
*Still don't know how it got approved by the city.
*Builder in the progress of getting engineering plan (that he should have done in the first place) to the city to modify the grade of the road and the driveway to make it more realistic.
*Fire department comes by and says "Stairs for you!"...builder required to build stairs from the road to the house due to the steepness of the driveway.
*Designed and partially implemented back yard landscaping so the dogs have grass and not mud to run around on (for our sake and theirs).
*Fence to be constructed starting May 22nd.
*Finally in the house with the generous support of our friends (and a few hired pros to pack the truck and haul the big stuff up the driveway)
*The Beagles Love it and are now able to run in and out of the house and not going stir crazy in a 1 bedroom apartment! (and we all know they come first)...
*The view and the house are AWESOME. Now we just have to be able to get up the driveway...I know...technicalities.
*Still no stairs or fixed driveway...soon hopefully.


I will take more pics and upload them as soon as I have internet access. (Stupid Comcast).
