I'm really still here!

An update on my decision making blog from 2 MONTHS AGO...has it really been that long!?
What color to paint our bedroom? Or do I paint out bedroom?
YES!! We picked 2 shades of a blue/gray - Autumn Fog & Winter Flannel. We have almost finished our bathroom and will hopefully get the bedroom done before we leave for the summer.

How, where & when to dig a french drain in our yard...so that water doesn't sit on my foundation?
Well...it's been raining yet again...and we have a lake in our backyard as usual. Still not sure the best option.

Should I build a pergola in the back yard, or just a lattice wall?

Should I start walking in the morning at 6:15 or wait until after work when Jon can walk with me?
I didn't start walking, however I did start going back to Tae-robics...which is by far my favorite workout! Though it's only once or twice a week, I feel so much better!

When do we purchase a new car? Or do we just let one of our cars die before we think about it?
I'll blog about this real soon...but Jon's car finally gave up the fight. It died 3 weeks ago at just over 152,000 miles. Jon was very sad...for now we will remain a 1 car family and save some money over the summer.

Where an when to do we take a vacation this year?
As my friend reminded me...there's always Disney World! Not sure if we'll go again or not, but we are planning to take a couple of long weekend trips to Dallas and possibly Chicago.

Do we have children or not? ( I know. This is pretty huge decision compared to the others)
This one is still up in the air!
*****************************************************************************

We leave a week from Friday for the first 4 weeks of MOVE. We go to Anderson, IN for 2 weeks, then on to Holland, MI for another 2 weeks. We have a really great group of interns this year. They have only been in the office for a week, but are knocking projects out like crazy!

I've been "officially" off for the summer as of May 15...but somehow I'm still working between 6 & 10 hours a week...hhmm...

I have been cleaning out all of the closets in our 3 bedrooms, taking things to Goodwill, throwing things out, and selling books and other random things at a local flea market!

Book recommendation of the week (not that I'm one to regularly recommend books!):
"The Shack" by William P Young.

We read this book in our CIY wives book club a few weeks ago. It's blowing my mind! I highly recommend this as a summer read!

Hopefully I'll have some pictures to post next time :)
