..... one may ask? Well ... I can't actually believe it was April when I last blogged. Lots has happened since then but not necessarily exciting.
Of course May starts our weekend trips to the R-Ranch every weekend ... between work, R-Ranch and squeezing time in with the grandbabies I have no life. Monday is laundry day, Tuesday is shopping day, Wednesday is packing day, Thursday is back to the ranch for the weekend, Sunday is home and
visits from the girls (which we all know when they are around the world stops and it's all about them!! As it should be!) Well weekends at the ranch were longer this year than we anticipated due to my responsibilities of being on the board of directors. July 4th was quite an eventful day at it was the annual Owners Meeting & Elections which were very stressful due to the candidates that were running (won't bore you with the details ... let's just say the people we wanted to win did!!) and then our usual July Board Meeting and Executive Session. We had a fun BBQ at our campsite with a few of our camping friends. It was very relaxing to take the week of July 6th off work and spend a whole week at the ranch.

On Monday we went on a 60 mile ATV trip. Dirty but fun!! We had a few out of town friends spend a day or two with us which was nice. We were able to do some fishing and over all relaxing for the week. After a couple of weekends of meetings and such we packed up the trailer for the summer until our return to the Ranch on Labor Day Weekend.
Since we have been home life has continued not to be boring .... We celebrated Alexis turning 4 at Galaxy Gymnatics (the kids love that place), and then my boss gave a two week notice that we are moving the office. Why you might ask ... simple .... the current landlord refused to reduce the rent to accomodate the changing market so Don was able to find a place for 2/3 less than our current rent and it would still hold us all. We have moved our office to Mission Square on Bechelli Ln. Now along with a move comes PACKING!! Wait a minute ... I didn't sign up for that job!! Each agent was responsible to pack up their own office but what about the tons and tons of stuff that is scattered all over the rest of the office. Has anyone tried to find boxes around Redding ... they are non existance!!! Everyone crushes their boxes. To make a long story short moving the office was a NIGHTMARE!!! So.... after 8 days we finally have everything moved after much hard labor ... my DH (bless his heart) spending HOURS upon HOURS helping us move but the nightmare doesn't end .... we have been a week without internet (boy oh boy have we become dependent on internet in our world of real estate) and not quite sure when it will be hooked up. Most of last week I would work all day and then take my computer home and work another 3 hours due to one of our agents being out of town and having a lot of escrow paperwork needing to be scanned and email back and forth. (The scanner at the office didn't work so had to use our scanner at home.).... So tomorrow is Monday and other than having no internet at the office I am really hopeing we can get back into a normal work week!
Well .... that is all that has been happening in our world. I have enjoyed keeping up with everyone by reading their blogs ... Jennifer I have to admit you continue to keep me laughing (waxing!!) and always good to keep up with the Faires Family and Knowles family. Until we blog again .. I hope everyone has a joyful rest of your summer!!!
