New House

We are now the proud owners of four rental houses!!!  We closed on the fourth one last week and now Lloyd, his cousin and his brother are getting busy gutting the place.  Hopefully once it's done it won't take long to find a renter.  We've had really good luck with that on the other three so hopefully this one will be easy too.  I can't wait to see it when it's done.  It's always neat to go through a house that needs a lot of work and then see the finish project.  Lloyd just left to go over there and he had a lot of tools to take with him.  He needs to stop and get new band saw blades on his way.  I think this house has a lot of potential to be really cute but it definitely is going to take a lot of hard work!

Passed Inspections

Yesterday we had inspections on the rental Lloyd has been working so hard on and everything passed with flying colors!  I know the renter has been excited to move in so hopefully she'll be able to soon and we can move on :)  It will be so great having Lloyd home more!  At first he was just going on the weekends to do some work but in the last few weeks he was there almost every day after work too.  Lauryn and I were missing him!  Maybe I should get to planning that vacation I keep talking about.  Florida sounds nice, or a Branson vacation, or maybe the Bahamas....a girl can dream, right :)

It's Raining, It's Pouring

I love the rain!  I love big, loud thunderstorms and I love how the air smells after it has rained!  Whenever there's a storm coming, my mom talks about joint pain and feeling it in her bones.  I wonder how that works.  How does an oncoming storm make your body feel different?  Hmm, I may have to do some research :)  I hope the rain isn't preventing Lloyd from being able to finish what he needs to on the rental.

I think (and hope) that today will be a lazy day!  I'm still getting over this stupid cold and I'm tired from coughing all night and achy from working at the other house yesterday.  I would love to just chill with Lauryn, and Lloyd when he gets home, have a nice dinner and enjoy my family.
